Laparoscopy is a precise surgical technique that uses specialized instruments and a small camera to look inside the body and make necessary adjustments without the need for large incisions, which reduces pain and recovery time and improves the child’s health outcomes.
What are the types of pediatric laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery can be used to treat many conditions in children such as:
- Appendectomy
- Repositioning an undescended testicle
- Umbilical or inguinal hernia repair
- Removing some abdominal tumors
- Removal of the gallbladder
- Exploration of the abdomen and chest
What is the importance of laparoscopic surgery?
It is performed through very small incisions compared to traditional surgery.
Speeding up the recovery process and reducing the length of hospitalization.
Smaller incisions minimize the chances of infection and complications.
Laparoscopic surgery leaves smaller scars than open abdominal surgery.
Laparoscopic surgery has made surgeries safer and more effective as well as reducing pain and recovery time. We believe that laparoscopic surgery is the future of pediatric care and hope to help more children in the future.
