Laparoscopic surgery, often called minimally invasive surgery, is a technique that allows doctors to perform operations through small incisions in the body. Instead of making a large cut, surgeons use a thin tube with a camera, known as a laparoscope, to see inside the body. This method reduces pain, speeds up recovery, and leaves smaller scars compared to traditional surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon inserts special instruments through these small openings to carry out the necessary repairs or removals, such as in gallbladder or hernia surgeries. Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and can return to their normal activities more quickly.
