What does laparoscopy mean?

 Also known as keyhole surgery, laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure performed on patients diagnosed with various abdominal or pelvic diseases. The procedure allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the abdomen and pelvis using a laparoscope without making large incisions for diagnosis. More importantly, laparoscopy is used to perform a variety of additional surgeries and procedures beyond simple visualization.

Surgeons connect numerous instruments to the laparoscope, remove or cut tissue, take tissue samples (so-called biopsies), and remove organs if necessary. As laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, it is recognized worldwide as a very effective surgical procedure and is preferred by medical professionals and patients over extensive open surgery.

 Laparoscopy is widely used in the fields of gynaecology, obstetrics, gastroenterology and urology, which mainly treat pathologies related to internal organs. The most common surgeries performed with this modern technology are removal of the gallbladder (laparoscopic cholecystectomy), removal of the appendix (appendectomy), hernia repair, fundoplication, removal of ectopic endometrial tissue (endometriosis), removal of various parts of the intestine, female sterilization, surgical intervention in ectopic pregnancy, biopsy samples in case of suspected malignant diseases, etc.

 Most laparoscopic procedures are performed under general anesthesia, so the patient is unconscious during the operation and does not feel pain. Then, using a special needle, the surgeon makes one (single incision or single-port laparoscopy) or several small incisions in the abdomen. CO2 gas is pumped in through a small flexible hose. This gas is very helpful in moving the intestines away from the surgical site to allow clear visualization. The laparoscope is inserted through a small hole in the abdomen. Once the procedure is complete, the gas is drained, the incision is sutured and dressed.

Depending on the patient's postoperative condition and the type of surgery, some patients may be discharged the same day the anesthesia wears off, while others may be admitted for 24 hours for observation. Complications of laparoscopic surgery are very rare but may include minor bleeding or bruising at the resection site, perforation due to accidental trauma to abdominal organs (generalized sepsis), which may require emergency laparotomy or laparotomy, and complications of general anesthesia. Wound infections that may require antibiotics. The frequency of these complications depends on the type of surgery performed and the patient's comorbidities.

However, despite all the reported complications, laparoscopy is still preferred over open surgery because it is less invasive, causes little postoperative pain, has a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and relatively smaller scars.
