Complications of Laparoscopic Surgery

Complications from laparoscopic surgery are potential problems that can occur during or after the procedure. These include bleeding, infections, injury to nearby organs like the intestines or bladder, and reactions to anesthesia. Sometimes, small blood vessels or tissues may be accidentally damaged, or a new problem such as a hernia might develop at the incision site. While these complications are rare, they can require additional treatment or surgery. Overall, laparoscopic surgery is safe, but it's important to be aware of these potential risks and discuss them with your healthcare provider.
