Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat conditions affecting the colon and rectum. Instead of making a large incision, surgeons create small openings in the abdomen. They insert a camera and specialized instruments to perform the surgery while guided by the camera's images on a monitor. This approach often leads to less pain, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery. It's commonly used for issues like tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, and diverticulitis, making it a preferred choice for many patients.
