Open Procedure versus Laparoscopy
The differences between traditional surgery and laparoscopy are numerous. It is necessary to look at the benefits of laparoscopy procedures so a woman can determine if laparoscopy is right for her. Traditional surgery with large incisions sometimes cannot be avoided, but if the patient can decide which one she wants, it could be to her benefit to choose the less invasive procedure.

Instruments and Methods Used in Laparoscopy
The instruments used in doing laparoscopy are small and relatively unobtrusive. One that is used is called a laparoscope, a thin tube which is lighted. It contains a lens or digital system which projects the images of the internal organs on a screen so the surgeon can view the pelvic cavity and organs. Another instrument the surgeon may use is a small tubular-shaped item that is inserted into the vagina to move the uterus so a better view is obtained. A needle called the Veress needle may also be used to inflate the abdomen with gas (making it easier to access the organs).

Laparoscopy is minimally invasive because only very small incisions are made. It is also called keyhole surgery due to the small abdominal incisions. The laparoscope is inserted into one of the incisions and moved to view the various organs. There are also instruments used in laparoscopic procedures to remove organs or tissues. These are specifically designed to fit into the small incisions.
Benefits of Laparoscopy over Conventional Surgery
Studies done on laparoscopy have shown there are major benefits to this type of surgery. Specifically, a patient will normally have less pain after surgery, increased comfort during recovery and faster recovery in general. The person receiving this surgery can often leave the hospital the same day. The patient can resume normal activities quickly. Cosmetically, women prefer the smaller scars. Overall, this type of minimally invasive surgery reduces the exposure of the patient’s internal organs to contaminants, thus it reduces risk of infections.

Some of the surgeries where laparoscopic procedures are used are:
• IUD repair or removal
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
• Hernia repair
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Appendectomy
• Small bowel obstruction
• Intestinal disorders
Disadvantages to Laparoscopic techniques
There are a few disadvantages to laparoscopic surgery and these should be known. Compared to traditional surgery, it is somewhat more difficult for the surgeon. This is because he has poor depth perception and a limited range of motion inside the abdomen. He is using tools and cannot interact with the tissues and manipulate them with his hands. It is more difficult to tie sutures. However, with a skilled surgeon a woman can have confidence that this surgery will be much more advantageous in the long-run.
