  2. Laparoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopy

    Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive procedure, bandaid surgery, or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique. There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an exploratory laparotomy. These include reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging, and shorter

  3. Single-port laparoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-port_laparoscopy

    Single-port laparoscopy (SPL) is a recently developed technique in laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient's navel. Unlike a traditional multi-port laparoscopic approach, SPL leaves only a single small scar.

  4. Heller myotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heller_myotomy

    However, open procedures involve greater recovery times. [2] Modern Heller myotomy is normally performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, which minimize risks and speeds recovery significantly. The 100th anniversary of Heller's description of the surgical treatment of patients with achalasia was celebrated in 2014.

  5. Minimally invasive procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_procedure

    Minimally invasive surgery should have less operative trauma, other complications and adverse effects than an equivalent open surgery. It may be more or less expensive (for dental implants, a minimally invasive method reduces the cost of installed implants and shortens the implant-prosthetic rehabilitation time with four–six months [9 ...

  6. Tubal reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubal_reversal

    Laparoscopic Tubal Reversal is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure (laparoscopy), using small, specially-designed instruments to repair and reconnect the fallopian tubes. After general anesthesia has been administered, a 5mm (less than 3/8-inch) tube ( trocar ) is inserted inside the navel, and a special gas is pumped into the abdomen to ...

  7. Adrenalectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenalectomy

    Minimally invasive techniques may be laparoscopic, where several small cuts (incisions) are made to allow for the surgeon to directly control surgical instruments with their hands while visualizing the surgery via a tiny camera that provides a magnified, 3D view of the surgical site. Laparoscopic surgery has many benefits.

  8. Ovarian drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian_drilling

    Ovarian drilling, also known as multiperforation or laparoscopic ovarian diathermy, is a surgical technique of puncturing the membranes surrounding the ovary with a laser beam or a surgical needle using minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. [1] It differs from ovarian wedge resection, which involves the cutting of tissue.
