What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy, also known as "Keyhole Surgery," is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine and operate on the organs inside the abdomen and pelvis. Unlike traditional open surgery that requires a large incision, laparoscopy is performed through small, 5–10mm incisions.

A thin tube with a high-definition camera (laparoscope) is inserted, allowing the surgeon to view the internal organs on a monitor in magnified detail. This leads to higher surgical accuracy, less pain, and a significantly faster recovery for the patient.
