What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
The surgical procedure known as laparoscopic surgery is done using tiny cameras (laparoscopes) passed through very small openings. Because it doesn’t involve giant cutouts in open surgery, laparoscopic surgery is as trauma-free as possible for the body. This leads to reduced pain, faster healing and scarring, which is why it’s a perfect option for most bariatric patients.
