Laparoscopy is a surgical technique that allows for surgical procedures to be performed without making a large incision in the abdomen.
An endoscope is inserted through the navel.
Air is injected into the abdominal cavity to create a space (pneumoperitoneum) that allows for a panoramic view.
The instruments are inserted into the abdomen through small 5-mm openings via trocars.
Most gynecological procedures can be performed laparoscopically.
There are two types of laparoscopy: operative laparoscopy (in which surgery is performed as if the abdomen were open) and diagnostic laparoscopy (which allows the inside of the abdomen to be viewed).
This procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
The images are displayed on a screen located at the patient's feet; this is the video column.
Operative laparoscopy allows for a wide range of procedures:
Diagnostic Laparoscopy allows for the identification of the causes of problems when tests do not provide a definitive answer or when they suggest a possible diagnosis.
Benefits: The classic advantages of laparoscopy include the absence of a large visible scar, a reduced risk of incisional hernia, a faster return to normal activities, and less postoperative pain.
Disadvantages: In certain situations, a laparoscopic approach cannot be used. In fact, some procedures—especially in oncology—cannot be performed using this type of approach.
If complications arise during the procedure, the laparoscopy cannot be performed and will be converted to open surgery (laparotomy: a traditional incision in the abdomen).
