Laparoscopic Surgery | Vibepedia

Laparoscopic surgery, often called minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, employs small incisions and specialized instruments, including a camera (laparoscope), to perform operations. Pioneered in the late 20th century, it dramatically reduced recovery times and scarring compared to traditional open surgery. While initially met with skepticism, its adoption has surged, becoming standard for procedures ranging from gallbladder removal to complex abdominal reconstructions. The technique demands precise hand-eye coordination and advanced visualization, pushing the boundaries of surgical skill and technological integration.
