Dorsal Recumbent Position in Laparoscopy: A Comprehensive Overview

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy, also known as diagnostic laparoscopy or exploratory laparoscopy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a small incision is made in the abdomen and a camera is inserted to visually examine the organs within the abdominal cavity. This procedure is often performed using the _dorsal recumbent position_, in which the patient lies on their back with their legs propped up and their abdomen exposed.
