Laparoscopy or Keyhole Surgery
What is laparoscopy / keyhole surgery?
Keyhole Surgery is carried out using a laparoscope, which is a tiny camera that is inserted into the body, usually through the stomach. It provides a surgeon with video images to enable keyhole surgery to be carried out on vital internal organs, such as the gall bladder, the bowel or reproductive organs.
It is exciting technology, and in skilled hands, can offer great benefits for the patient in reducing the level of surgery involved and the amount of recovery time needed.
Laparoscopic Error
Occasionally, keyhole surgery goes wrong, e.g., there is the reported case of the wrong part of a bile duct being cut during a routine gall bladder operation whilst using laparoscopic techniques.
