Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical option, can be a more efficient alternative to traditional abdominal surgery, which requires larger incisions and lengthier recovery times, according to a local ABC7 news report.
Laparoscopy surgery can be performed through tiny incisions rather than large cuts. Through these tiny incisions, physicians insert a camera and narrow instruments into working ports. Typically, patients who undergo the laparoscopic approach experience decreased post-operative pain and shorter recovery times, according to the report.
