Recovery from open surgery can be painful and slow. Some patients may not resume their normal routine for months.
Minimally invasive procedures are performed through one or more dime-sized incisions, with much less trauma to the body.
Although laparoscopic techniques vary widely, surgeons generally insert an endoscope, a long thin tube with a lighted camera at its tip, through a small incision. The camera sends a two-dimensional image of the surgical site to a high-definition monitor, which the surgeon watches throughout the operation. Specially designed surgical instruments are placed through the original cut or through other small incisions.
The number of incisions depends on the type of surgery and to some extent, on your surgeon but the trend is to use fewer and shorter incisions. It's not uncommon for some abdominal operations, such as gallbladder surgery, to be performed through a single incision around the navel. In such cases, patients require only an overnight hospital stay and heal without a scar.
