Description

Laparoscopic surgery includes operations within the abdominal or pelvic cavities. Appendectomy may be performed laparoscopically (as minimally invasive surgery) or as an open operation. Laparoscopy is often used if the diagnosis is in doubt, or in order to leave a less visible surgical scar. Recovery may be slightly faster after laparoscopic surgery, although the laparoscopic procedure itself is more expensive and resource-intensive than open surgery and generally takes longer. Open Surgery - an "open" surgery means the cutting of skin and tissues so that the surgeon has a full view of the structures or organs involved Minimally Invasive Surgery - minimally invasive surgery is any technique involved in surgery that does not require a large incision. This relatively new approach allows the patient to recuperate faster with less pain.
