Laproscopic Surgery

This paper will define laparoscopy in general, how a laparoscopic surgery is performed, the different types of laparoscopic instruments and the benefits and risks associated with undergoing a laparoscopic surgical procedure. Laparoscopic surgery has evolved rapidly in the last twenty years and as the field advances there are constant new innovations. Laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive surgery or videoscopic surgery is an operation performed in the abdomen or pelvis through small incisions with the aid of a camera.

There are two types of laparoscope that can be used: a telescopic rod lens system, which is usually connected to a video camera, or a digital laparoscope where a miniature digital video camera is placed at the end of the laparoscope, eliminating the rod lens system. Laparoscopic surgery has allowed surgeons to perform the same procedures as in traditional open surgery, using small incisions instead of large abdominal incisions. A camera and a number of additional laparoscopic instruments are inserted into the peritoneal cavity through the abdominal wall.

General surgery

What if life can be planned? No thinking on the spot and no instant decisions. Having to make a decision in less than a second that can possibly take someone’s life or further injure them sounds pretty hard, right? General surgery was the first of its kind in the medical field. As a result, this field has vast amount of history with many new innovations. However, when you have new innovations there comes new intense challenges everyday.
