How does conventional surgery differ from laparoscopic surgery?
Conventional Surgery:
- Also known as "open surgery" or "traditional surgery."
- Requires a relatively large incision to access the area of interest within the body.
- May result in increased pain, tissue trauma, and recovery time due to the extensive surgical site.
Laparoscopic Surgery:
- Minimally invasive technique.
- Involves the use of a laparoscope (a small camera) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions in the abdomen/body.
- Allows the surgeon to see and operate inside the body while minimizing tissue damage.
- Associated with lower levels of post-operative pain, reduced risk of infection, and shorter recovery time.
- Ideal for various procedures in gynecology, gastrointestinal surgery, urology, etc.
- However, it may not be suitable for all types of operations.
