What is Laparoscopic Surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as closed surgery, is a surgical method performed with a video camera and long thin instruments. The surgery is performed by looking at the image transmitted by the camera to a television monitor. So the camera is the surgeon's eye. In abdominal surgeries, the patient's abdominal cavity is inflated with carbon dioxide. Then, 0.5-1cm incisions are made and the port (trocar<\/a>Tubes called ) (usually 5-10 mm in diameter) are pushed into the abdominal cavity. Surgery is performed through these ports using special instruments.<\/p>\n

How To?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the patient is put to sleep with general anesthesia, the patient is positioned according to the type of surgery to be performed. Then, following the sterilization rules, the patient is covered so that the area where the surgical incision will be made is exposed, and connections are established with the instruments to be used. The operation begins with the surgeon making a skin incision of approximately 1 cm. The abdominal wall is passed through the abdominal wall layers and the trocar tube is inserted. In order for the surgeon to easily see the area to be intervened on the monitor, carbon dioxide gas is given through the trocar tube and the inside of the abdomen is inflated. It can be observed from the intra-abdominal monitor by inserting a laparoscope with a camera at its end through the trocar tube. Then, 5-10 mm diameter trocars are inserted with the help of a camera through 2 or 3 (can be increased if necessary) incisions depending on the area to be intervened. The intervention is performed by inserting special hand tools to be used during surgery through these trocar tubes. After the surgical procedure is completed, the trocars are removed and the carbon dioxide gas in the abdomen is evacuated. A small portion of carbon dioxide gas remains in the abdomen, but it is easily absorbed by the body and does not cause any problems to patients. The operation is completed by closing the incision areas.<\/p>\n
