What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, affords patient a shorter recovery time as compared to an open operation. The most routinely performed laparoscopic surgery includes laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of gall bladder) and hernia repair. Other conditions such as stones in the common bile duct, colon cancer and liver cancer can be laparoscopically treated but this is only applicable to a select group of patients.
