What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that makes use of a special instrument called a laparoscope to examine and treat various conditions inside the abdomen and pelvis. It involves making small incisions through which the laparoscope and other surgical instruments are inserted to perform the required medical procedures.

How is Laparoscopy Performed?

Anesthesia:

The patient is administered general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure that the person is not awake and does not feel pain during the surgery.

Incision:

Several small incisions, usually around half an inch in length, are made in the abdomen to insert the laparoscope and surgical instruments.

Gas Insufflation:

Carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the abdomen. This helps inflate the area while giving better visualization and more space for treating the organs.

Treatment:

The laparoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera at the end, is inserted through one of the incisions to see the abdominal cavity. Surgical instruments are inserted through other incisions to perform the necessary procedures, such as removing diseased tissue or repairing abnormalities.

Closure:

Once the surgery is completed, the instruments are removed, and the small incisions are closed with sutures or surgical tape once the carbon dioxide is completely drained from the cavity.

Before the Surgery:

Detailed discussion with the surgeon regarding the procedure, expected outcomes, and potential risks

Preoperative evaluation and necessary tests

Fasting for a specific period before the surgery

During the Surgery:

Administration of anesthesia so that the patient feels no pain during the surgery

Insertion of the laparoscope and surgical instruments through small incisions

Visual exploration of the abdominal cavity and treatment of the condition

In some conditions, the tube is kept at the site after the operation to remove the liquid from the body.

After the Surgery:

Recovery in a designated area under medical supervision

Gradual resumption of normal activities based on the surgeon's instructions

Prescription of pain medications, if necessary

Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns

Postoperative Care:

Proper wound care, including keeping the incision sites clean and dry

Managing pain and discomfort with prescribed medications

Following the surgeon's instructions regarding activity level, lifting restrictions, and dietary guidelines

Reporting any signs of infection, excessive bleeding, or complications in the healthcare provider

Types of Laparoscopy:

Diagnostic Laparoscopy:

Used to check and diagnose the cause of abdominal or pelvic pain or unexplained symptoms.

Operative Laparoscopy:

Involves surgical interventions to treat specific conditions, such as removal of the gallbladder, appendix, or treatment of gynecological or gastrointestinal disorders.

Risks of Laparoscopy:

Infection at the incision sites

Bleeding

Organ or blood vessel injury

Adverse reactions to anesthesia

Shoulder or abdominal pain from the carbon dioxide gas

Blood clots

Complications specific to the type of procedure performed

When should one avoid laparoscopy?

Surgical history in the area:

This increases the likelihood of scars and adhesions interfering with the visibility and access to laparoscopic tools.

Area with excessive body mass:

It may be difficult to see via laparoscope due to this.

A severe infection or bleeding:

This can be due to previous surgery, making it difficult for the laparoscopy and requiring immediate attention.

Frequency and Recovery Time:

The frequency of laparoscopy depends on the medical condition being treated. Recovery time varies based on the complexity of the procedure and individual healing, but most patients can expect to resume normal activities within a few days to weeks.

Alternate Procedures:

This may include, Traditional open surgery, Other minimally invasive techniques The choice of procedure depends on factors like, A condition that is being treated, The patient's medical condition, Medical history.
