What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic urological surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, involves making small incisions (usually 0.5-1 cm) instead of large cuts. A laparoscope (thin tube with a camera) and specialized instruments are inserted through these small openings, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with precision.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery

  • Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
  • Reduced blood loss during surgery
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Faster recovery and return to normal activities
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Lower risk of infection
