Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a procedure based on the principle of imaging the intra-abdominal organs with the help of a thin camera from the navel under general anaesthesia. It is also possible to treat with assistive instruments inserted through millimetre holes drilled in the abdomen during imaging. Stomach, gallbladder, liver, spleen, pancreas, small and large intestine surgeries, inguinal hernia and hernia in the anterior abdominal wall can be performed laparoscopically. Laparoscopy, also known as closed, bloodless and bladeless surgery among people, has been used for therapeutic purposes in medicine since the 1980s.

Developing with the advancement of technology, laparoscopic surgery is a very safe option today. We can list the advantages of laparoscopic surgery as follows:

1. Shorter hospital stay. (As a result of laparoscopic surgery, the discharge process is much faster than open surgery)
2. A more aesthetic appearance as the abdomen is entered with millimetric holes.
3. Less pain after surgery.
4. Complications such as infection and adhesions are less common.
5. Postoperative recovery faster returns to daily activities. Therefore, the economic gain of returning to work early.
6. Considering these advantages, laparoscopic surgery has become a frequently preferred method today.
