Laparoscopy and Laparoscopic surgery 

Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the 

inside of the abdomen (tummy) and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin.

This procedure is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery.

Large incisions can be avoided during laparoscopy because the surgeon uses an instrument called a laparoscope.This is a small tube that has a light source and a camera, 

which relays images of the inside of the abdomen or pelvis to a television monitor.



Procedure

During laparoscopy, the surgeon makes a small cut (incision) of around 1 to 1.5cm (0.4 to 0.6 inches), usually near your belly button.A tube is inserted through the incision, and carbon dioxide gas is pumped through the tube to inflate your tummy (abdomen). Inflating your abdomen allows the surgeon to see your organs more clearly and gives them more room to work. A laparoscope is then inserted through this tube. The laparoscope relays images to a television monitor in the operating theatre, giving the surgeon a clear view of the whole area.If the laparoscopy is used to carry out a surgical treatment, such as removing your appendix, further incisions will be made in your abdomen. Small, surgical instruments can be inserted through these incisions, and the surgeon can guide them 

to the right place using the view from the laparoscope. Once in place, the instruments can be 

used to carry out the required treatment.After the procedure, the carbon dioxide is 

let out of your abdomen, the incisions are closed using stitches or clips and a dressing is applied.
