Laparoscopic Surgery: What Is It, What Are the Applications and Procedures, Frequently Asked Questions
Laparoscopy is an operation performed in the surgical treatment of pelvic organs and abdominal organs by placing tubules through 3-5 incisions of 1 cm and smaller in size, without using large surgical incisions.
Laparoscopic surgery, popularly known as closed surgery, is a much less damaging procedure than open surgery; therefore, it is defined as one of the minimally invasive surgical methods.
Basically, when evaluated from the point of the patient, laparoscopic surgery is preferred if open surgery techniques will cause more harm or if risk factors are desired to be reduced.
Laparoscopic surgery can be preferred for the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. The most common operations with this method are cyst surgery, gallbladder surgery, appendectomy, removal of fibroids (myomectomy), removal of the uterus (hysterectomy), ligation of the fallopian tubes (tubal ligation) and chocolate cyst surgery (endometriosis).
In laparoscopic surgery, as in other surgeries, the patient is put to sleep with general anesthesia. The operation starts with an incision (port) made from the lower part of the abdomen. Besides, in incisions, laparoscopic surgical instruments called trocars, which facilitate entry and exit into the body, are used. It is possible to insert and remove the camera into the body through the thin tubes placed in these incisions. In order for the physician to see the area to be intervened in the abdomen, carbon dioxide gas is given through the incision and the abdomen is inflated. 2 people work, including a surgeon who holds a camera and a surgeon who performs the procedure.
