Laparoscopy: Technology of Video Surgery

Laparoscopy is the modern surgical technique which has made it very easy to have a look inside the body. It gives the doctor eyes to see inside the body and tells the true tale of the condition inside. Laparoscopic surgery also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery.

 

Laparoscopy is done with an instrument called a laparoscope which is like a small telescope with a light and camera at its end. A video camera is attached to the telescopic rod lens while the charged couple device is placed at the end of a digital laparoscope. The doctor moves the laparoscope to view various parts and its video can be seen on the monitor.

It is also used in case of ovarian cyst surgery and removal of gall bladder.
