What Is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Quick Answer

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions (5–10mm) and a high-definition camera to perform surgical procedures with less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring. It is the preferred approach for many abdominal conditions including hernia, gallstones, appendicitis, and more.

Persistent Abdominal Pain

Unexplained or worsening abdominal pain may indicate conditions such as gallstones, appendicitis, hernia, or other conditions requiring surgical evaluation.

Visible Lump or Swelling

A new lump in the abdomen, groin, breast, neck (thyroid), or under the skin may require evaluation and possible surgical removal.

Digestive Symptoms

Chronic nausea, bloating, acid reflux, or changes in bowel habits may indicate gallbladder disease, anorectal conditions, or other surgical issues.
