What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Also known as "Keyhole Surgery", "Endoscopic Surgery", "Minimal Invasive Surgery", laparoscopic surgery is a technique of operating through small incisions using special delicate instruments, telescope and video camera. Here the surgical team does not take big incisions on the abdomen and operate by visualizing the field of surgery on a monitor with the aid of the camera and laparoscope.

How does it differ from open surgery?

Factors		Laparoscopy	Open
Pain	:	Less	More
Indoor Stay	:	Less	More
Recovery	:	Faster	Delayed
Scars	:	Smaller	Larger


Appendix	Cholecystectomy

So the effective cost of laparoscopic surgery is nearly the same as that in open surgery.
