Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure using small incisions, unlike traditional surgical techniques. This technique provides access to the inside of the body through a camera and specialised surgical instruments and can be used to treat many different diseases.
- 1. Advantages of the Procedure:
- Smaller incisions: Laparoscopic surgery is usually performed through several small holes, which means less tissue damage, less blood loss and faster recovery.
- Less pain: Small incisions usually cause less postoperative pain and discomfort.
- Short hospitalisation period: The hospital stay after laparoscopic surgery can usually be short, in some cases it may be possible to return home the same day.
- Faster recovery: Less tissue damage and pain can enable patients to return to normal activities faster.
2. Usage Areas of Laparoscopic Surgery:
- Gallbladder and biliary tract surgery
- Appendicitis
- Intestinal obstruction
- Reflux disease and hernia repair
- Gynaecological problems such as ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids
- Oncological surgical interventions such as stomach and bowel cancer
- Urological interventions such as bladder or prostate surgery
- Care After Laparoscopic Surgery
- In the postoperative period, it is important that patients follow the doctor's instructions exactly.
- Hygiene rules must be observed for the care of the sutures and to reduce the risk of infection.
- Postoperative controls should be performed regularly and possible complications should be monitored.
- Laparoscopic surgery has become an important part of modern surgical practice and is the preferred method for the treatment of many diseases. However, since every patient and every situation is different, treatment options and procedures should be determined by a specialist doctor.
