Why laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery has developed because it has several distinct advantages over the previous technique of “open surgery”. Almost all abdominal procedures can now be performed by a skilled laparoscopic surgeon using this technique.
It is not surprising, therefore, that more and more patients request and receive their surgery this way when offered the choice.
