- Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery By: RK Mishra
Laparoscopic surgery is a revolutionary surgical technique also known as minimally invasive surgery or MIS. Popularly known as keyhole surgery, laparoscopic surgery has become increasingly popular with people that are scheduled to undergo surgeries like appendectomy and gall bladder removal. Laparoscopic surgery involves using specialised surgical equipment that ensures minimal scar tissue as the length of incision(s) is very small.

If you are wondering how an organ as big as the gall bladder can actually be removed from the body via a 1 cm incision, the procedure involves draining all fluid from the gall bladder and removing it via a small incision near the patient’s navel .
