What Is Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic) Surgery?

In the past, when it came to surgical intervention, the first thing that came to mind was large incisions, long hospital stays and difficult recovery processes. However, developing medical technology has radically changed the concept of surgery and started a much more comfortable period for patients.

Laparoscopy, popularly known as "closed surgery", is a modern surgical method performed without the need for large surgical incisions, by entering through millimetric holes and accompanied by high-resolution cameras.

Why Should Closed Surgery Be Preferred?

Laparoscopic surgery has become the gold standard in many branches due to both the detailed viewing angle it offers to the surgeon during the operation and the comfort it provides to the patient after the operation.

The absence of large incisions ensures that tissue damage remains to a minimum. This allows the body to recover from the trauma much faster and the patient to quickly return to his daily routine.

Laparoscopy is the first preferred method, especially in the treatment of gallbladder diseases, hernia repairs, appendicitis and many gynecological disorders. After the operation, patients can usually be discharged on the same day or the next day and return to the comfort of their homes.

In addition, thanks to the absence of a large scar, patients can perform their physical movements more comfortably and the wound care process is overcome in a much more practical way.

In Which Situations Can It Be Applied?

The feasibility of closed surgery is determined by the specialist physician according to the patient's general health status and the progression of the disease. High-tech equipment and experienced surgical staff are the most critical factors in the success of this process.
