Keyhole surgery, also known as laparoscopy or minimally invasive surgery, is a type of surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin. Instead, the surgeon makes one or more small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, which is a small tube that has a light source and a camera, to relay images of the inside of the abdomen or pelvis to a television monitor. Carbon dioxide gas is pumped through the tube to inflate the abdomen, which allows the surgeon to see the organs more clearly and gives them more room to work. The advantages of keyhole surgery over traditional open surgery include a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery time, less pain and bleeding after the operation, and reduced scarring. Keyhole surgery can be used to diagnose and treat various conditions, including those of the abdomen and pelvis. The use of smaller incisions has several benefits, including smaller scars, a quicker recovery time, and less risk of complications such as infection.
