Laparoscopic surgery, often referred to as Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) or Keyhole Surgery, is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed through small incisions using specialized instruments and a high-definition camera called a laparoscope.

The laparoscope provides magnified visualization of internal organs, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater precision and minimal tissue disruption.

Over the past few decades, laparoscopic surgery has transformed surgical care and become the preferred approach for many abdominal and pelvic procedures.

Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery typically experience:

• Less postoperative pain
