Laparoscopy
Minimally invasive surgery through small incisions using a camera and instruments.
Laparoscopic surgery uses a camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments inserted through several small incisions, with the abdomen inflated with CO2 for visualization. Standard for many abdominal and pelvic procedures.
What this means for you: laparoscopic conversion to open is sometimes necessary; 5-15% conversion rate is acceptable depending on procedure. Higher rates suggest case selection or technical issues.
