laparoscopic appendectomy
Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the appendix. The surgeon makes a few small cuts in the abdomen and inserts a tiny camera called a laparoscope, which displays inside views on a monitor. Special surgical tools are inserted through these small incisions to carefully detach and remove the inflamed or infected appendix. Because the cuts are small, patients usually experience less pain, fewer scars, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery. This technique is commonly used to treat appendicitis, helping restore health efficiently with minimal impact on the body.
