What is Minimal Access/ Laparoscopic Surgery?
The term Minimal Access Surgery, popularly known as laparoscopic or keyhole surgery, refers to the modern method of surgery wherein access to internal organs is usually made through small cuts, often less than a centimeter in length. A high-definition camera-equipped laparoscope provides a magnified view of the surgical area, enabling surgeons to operate with high precision. As opposed to open surgeries involving large cuts, all minimal access procedures create less trauma on tissues, thus allowing quicker recovery, less pain, and shorter days in the hospital.
Conditions Treated
Surgical experts at Pacific OneHealth provide laparoscopic surgery for a wide range of medical conditions affecting the gastrointestinal, urologic, gynecologic, and metabolic systems. It is also the preferred approach for bariatric procedures and many gynecologic and colorectal surgeries, offering less invasiveness and faster recovery.
Advantages
The advantages of minimal access surgery over traditional open surgery are as follows:
Beyond these physical benefits, the shorter recovery period supports emotional well-being. Many patients appreciate discreet scars, which contribute to a sense of normalcy soon after surgery. At Pacific OneHealth, we pay careful attention to both clinical success and cosmetic outcomes to ensure patients feel confident during and after healing.
