Laparoscopic GI Surgery

Laparoscopic GI Surgery

Laparoscopic gastrointestinal (GI) surgery refers to minimally invasive procedures performed on the gastrointestinal tract using a laparoscope, a small camera, and specialized instruments. Surgeons make small incisions in the abdomen to access and operate on various GI organs, such as the stomach, small intestine, colon, or liver. This approach minimizes scarring, reduces postoperative pain, and accelerates recovery when compared to traditional open surgery. Laparoscopic GI surgery is utilized for conditions like appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder disease, colorectal cancer, and obesity. It offers patients less discomfort and a quicker return to normal activities while effectively addressing GI issues.
