What is Oncology?

A laparoscopy procedure is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat various conditions within the abdomen and pelvis. It involves making small incisions through which a laparoscope—a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera—is inserted. This camera transmits images to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to view the internal organs in real-time with high precision. The laparoscopy procedure is often preferred over traditional open surgery due to its benefits, which include smaller incisions, reduced pain, less scarring, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. Laparoscopy can be used for a range of medical purposes, from diagnosing the cause of abdominal pain to performing complex surgeries like removing the appendix, gallbladder, or treating hernias.
