Laparoscopy
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, revolutionizes modern medical procedures by employing advanced technology and techniques. Unlike traditional open surgeries that require large incisions, laparoscopic procedures involve small keyhole incisions, through which a tiny camera and specialized instruments are inserted.
- Equipment: High-resolution cameras, specialized laparoscopic instruments (graspers, scissors, dissectors), insufflators for gas supply.
- Incision Size: Typically 0.5 to 1.5 centimeters in length.
- Visual Clarity: High-definition imaging systems providing clear visuals of the surgical site.
- Gas Used: Carbon dioxide (CO2) for insufflation, creating a clear operating space.
