MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY (LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY)

 

Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure in which a small incision is made, usually in the navel, through which a viewing tube (laparoscope) is inserted.

 

The viewing tube has a small camera on the eyepiece. This allows the doctor to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs on a video monitor connected to the tube.

• Laparoscopic Appendicectomy (Removal of Appendix)
