Why laparoscopy?
Last two decades has witnessed a sea change in the field of Laparoscopy, what was once used for visualization and diagnostic purpose is today used as advanced abdominal operations. This was possible because of advances in the field of instrument manufacturing, Biotechnology, Anesthesia, techniques of surgery, Suture materials and various Gadgets.

What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
In Laparoscopic surgery we make 3-4 small incisions for trocars through which we introduce operative instruments. Through the naval port (umbilicus) we put 10mm (1cm) laparoscope attached to camera systems and monitor, now the surgeon can see the whole abdomen and pelvis on the screen.

All the organs are seen magnified and precisely than in open surgery or Direct Visualization.

Why Laparoscopic surgeries have become so popular?
Laparoscopic surgeries have become very popular in short span of time, infact they have replaced all traditional abdominal surgeries. Their popularity is due to the immense advantages they have got over traditional surgeries. The advantages and benefits to the patients are

• less pain
• Patient recovers very fast (24-48 hrs.) and can resume to work within few days.
• No post operative rest required
• No/ small scars on the abdomen
• No chances of wound infection
• No chances of post operative hernias and adhesions
• Apart from these benefits, patients also will have immense long term benefits.

In an approach to further reduce the invasiveness of surgery and hence morbidity to the patient, single incision laparoscopy surgery ( scarless surgery) and 3-D laproscopy have been developed, both being available at DR. RAMESH HOSPITAL
