An advanced laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes a small, illuminated tube called a laparoscope to generate high-quality images inside the body. It assists in a variety of treatments, such as biopsies, hernia surgeries, appendectomies, and gastric resections. 

How Are Advanced Laparoscopies Performed? 

During an advanced laparoscopy, surgeons make a tiny incision in their patient’s belly and inflate the area with carbon dioxide gas. The gas creates space between the abdominal organs and camera, allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure safely and efficiently. Next, they place the lighted, fiber-optic camera into the abdominal cavity.

The pictures appear on a video monitor inside the operating room while illuminating the field of surgery. Once placement is complete, the physician performs the surgical procedure of the groin, stomach, colon, or esophagus. They may also remove tissue samples for biopsy. 

How Does Advanced Laparoscopy Benefit Patients? 

Advanced laparoscopies allow a surgeon to see clearly inside the body, making it easier to access and treat areas of the abdomen and pelvis that were once only possible with traditional open surgery. Instead of receiving a large incision that is susceptible to infection and difficult to heal, a cut of less than half an inch allows physicians to perform procedures while making the recovery process more comfortable for patients.
