Benefits of Laparoscopy

Cosmetic Benefits – Traditional types of surgery usually require large abdominal incisions. Laparoscopic procedures is usually performed through mini incisions.

Laparoscopy – Entails making small incisions on the abdomen. Like the 4 small (all less than an inch) incisions seen above. Approximation (25mm = 1.0 inch)


Less Hospitalization - Most laparoscopic cases are done as outpatient (< 23 hours). Major operations using a traditional incision (laparotomy) often require a hospital stay of 3-5 days

Quicker Recovery Time - Since laparoscopic surgery does not require the abdomen to be opened with a large abdominal incision, the patient takes less time to heal, requires less pain medication and is able to resume a more active lifestyle within a shorter period of time.

Decreased Scar Formation - Due to the small abdominal incision less internal scarring or adhesions can form. These adhesions can be a source of abdominal or chronic pelvic pain after laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopy significantly reduces the scar formation (adhesions) and internal abdominal pain associated with these adhesions.
