General Surgery & Laparoscopy
- General surgery is a broad medical specialty that covers a wide range of surgical procedures to treat various conditions and diseases affecting different parts of the body. One of the significant advancements in general surgery has been the development of laparoscopic techniques.
- Laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive surgery, involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using a tiny camera (laparoscope) and specialized surgical instruments to perform procedures. This approach often results in shorter recovery times, reduced pain and scarring, and lower risks of complications compared to traditional open surgeries.
- Laparoscopic techniques have been adopted for a variety of general surgical procedures, including appendectomies, gallbladder removals, hernia repairs, and colorectal surgeries. The continued refinement of laparoscopic technologies and techniques has made general surgery more accessible and less invasive for patients, leading to improved outcomes and faster return to normal activities.
