• No matter how big or small the procedure is, it
  is completely normal for the patient to feel
  anxious and stressed before undergoing a surgery.
  
• Most of their tensions revolve around the pain
  factor and recovery time which largely depend on
  the type of procedure chosen. Although the
  ultimate aim of these different procedures
  remains the same, the process remains different.
• Take Laparoscopy and open surgery for example.
  Though Open Surgery has been around for decades,
  Laparoscopy is found to be the most efficient in
  terms of recovery with a minimal amount of risks.

So what is Laparoscopy and how is it better than
Open Surgery? Let us find out

• Open Surgery Open surgery is a traditional
  method of surgery where a large incision (10
  inches) is made by the surgeon using the scalpel
  and then the surgeon uses his instruments to
  perform surgery. Having a large incision may
  result in more pain, higher risk of
  complications, a lengthy recovery and hence
  longer hospital stays.
• Laparoscopic Surgery In contrast with Open
  Surgery, Laparoscopic surgery uses a very small
  incision in the abdomen or pelvis cavities to
  carry out the procedure. A Laparoscope, i.e. a
  thin instrument with a video camera at the end of
  it is inserted into the small incision to give
  the view of the organs inside and the image is
  projected onto the screen for the surgeons to
  carry out the procedure.

Reasons why Laparoscopic surgery is better than
Open Surgery
1. Given that the incisions are so small in
Laparoscopy, the risk of bleeding is minimal to
non-existent compared to the open surgery. 2.
The large incision in the open surgery takes a
lot of time to heal when compared to the small
key-hole incision of laparoscopy. So the risk of
infection is minimal, the healing process is
quick and painless in laparoscopic surgeries. 3.
As the exposure of internal organs to external
contaminants is higher, Open surgeries are always
at risk of post-operative infection making
Laparoscopy the safest in this regard too.

4. As the healing is quicker and the risk of
other infection is very less, the length of
hospital stay for patients is significantly
shorter in case of Laparoscopy. Most of the
patients undergo the same day or the next-day
discharge. This is not at all possible in case of
Open Surgeries. Though Laparoscopic is clearly
the best surgical procedure compared to Open
Surgery, it is important to remember that all
patients are not ideal candidates for
laparoscopic surgery. Make sure you consult
experienced laparoscopic surgeons who can provide
you with the best of available options for
individual situations. With over a decade of
experience in Laparoscopy, Dr. Neelima Mantri
