1.) What is advanced laparoscopic surgery?
"...to perform almost all of the surgeries that up until about 10 years ago could only be done through big incisions. Once considered experimental, these procedures now have an established track record of safety - when performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons."
2.) What are the advantages of laparoscopic surgery?
3.) What special skills do the staff have?
4.) What kinds of surgeries can be done laparoscopically?
" Performing surgery laparoscopically also reduces the chance of forming internal scar tissue (adhesions) after surgery. In some people, these adhesions can cause pain; and in 1-3% of people, may lead to intestinal obstruction at some point in their lives. Fewer adhesions are formed after laparoscopic surgery because no sponges or retractors are needed, and the internal tissues are not dried by exposure to room air. From the perspective of the surgeon, many types of surgery are actually easier to do laparoscopically because the internal areas of interest are magnified and shown on a large TV screen."
