Laparoscopic instruments are specialized tools used in minimally invasive surgery. They allow surgeons to perform operations through small incisions, typically less than an inch long. These instruments include trocars, scissors, graspers, and cameras, which help visualize and manipulate internal organs without the need for large cuts. The use of laparoscopic instruments offers several benefits, such as reduced pain, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring for patients. This technique is commonly used in procedures like gallbladder removal and hernia repair, making surgeries safer and more efficient for both patients and healthcare providers.
