What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), Keyhole Surgery, or Band-Aid Surgery, is a modern surgical technique where operations are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5–1.0 cm) instead of large open cuts. This technique allows surgeons to access organs within the abdomen or pelvis using a laparoscope – a small tube with a camera and light – to view internal structures on a monitor.
