Laparoscopy typically entails small incisions
of 5 to 10 millimetres - just large enough to admit
the passage of the Surgeons light, a tiny video camera, and precision-crafted
surgical instruments.
Today's advanced digital technology allows
magnification of the laparoscopic surgery site up to 20 times
actual size, permitting surgeons to see anatomical structures in exquisite
detail.
Without the trauma of a long incision, both
pain and healing time are greatly reduced. Related benefits include; less need
for post-operative pain medication; plus an earlier return to physical
activity, and a normal diet.
Most patients can rebuild strength and return
to normal life in days rather than weeks.
