Preface

Nowadays, most patients want to get operated on by minimally invasive surgery. One of these is laparoscopic surgery. The main advantage of laparoscopic surgery is that instead of operating patients through large incisions, patients get operated on through small incisions with less trauma to the tissue. There is less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays with sooner return to work. The chances of wound infection are less because of less handling of tissue and better and acceptable cosmetic scar than traditional open surgery. Also, there are fewer chances of postoperative adhesions and incisional hernia than in traditional open surgeries. Laparoscopy is the word derived from the Greek word lapara, which means “the soft part of the body between ribs and hip, loin, and flank” and scope means to “look': Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed far from their location through small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) elsewhere in the body.

  • Three Main Components include:
    • Image production
    • Pneumoperitoneum
    • Laparoscopic instruments
