Videolaparoscopic surgery

A laparoscopic is a type of surgery that looks for problems in the abdomen or the reproductive tract of a woman. Laparoscopic surgery uses a thin tube called a laparoscope, which is inserted into the abdomen through a small incision. The tube has an attached camera that sends images to a video monitor. This allows a surgeon to see inside the body without causing significant injuries to the patient.

Laparoscopy is known as minimally invasive surgery. Allows the patient to spend less time in the hospital, a more rapid recovery, less pain and smaller scars than traditional surgery (open). He inspects first the abdomen to determine if it is safe to perform laparoscopic surgery. If a large amount of inflammation or if the surgeon encounters other factors that prevent people from seeing clearly the structures, may have to make a larger incision to complete the operation safely.
