Laparoscopic surgery is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery (MIS).  The technique enables surgeons to view, access and remove sections or entire organs through very small incisions rather than large incisions that cause extensive tissue damage, longer healing processes and greater risk of infection. Today, more facilities and surgeons utilize such techniques to perform a variety of surgeries, from liposuction to heart valve replacement.

Individuals undergoing laparoscopic surgeries have shortened recovery times as well as less postoperative pain. Smaller incisions decrease the chance of complications such as infection and offer decreased mortality rates. The fiber-optic instruments and video cameras attached to the laparoscope enable surgeons to view the surgical area on a monitor while utilizing special instruments that avoid surrounding tissue damage of the surgical area.

Hand access devices in laparoscopic surgery enable surgeons to perform a variety of functions, such as pancreatectomy and liver resection procedures. Advancements in technology are increasing capabilities of single port entry techniques for more complex surgical procedures. Laparoscopic techniques are used in orthopedic, obesity and bariatric surgical procedures, cosmetic surgery fields, cardiac or heart care and chronic disease treatments, among others.

Laparoscopic gallbladder removal, groin hernia repair and laparoscopic inguinal or ventral hernia repair are just a few of the procedures performed through laparoscopic surgical techniques. Facilities such as Laparoscopic Solutions in Coahuila, Mexico or the world-renowned facilities of Jordan Hospital and Medical Center in Amman, Jordan make good use of such procedures to enhance patient care and reduce surgical and post-surgical complications.

Liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery designed to help remove excess fat deposits from certain areas of the body. Women are more apt to consider liposuction than men, as it helps to improve proportion, body contours, and most importantly, self-image and confidence. Liposuction is also known as lipoplasty and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

 

Liposuction has long then one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures around the world. However, new technologies and developments consistently offer new or treatments and methodology is for international patients seeking the best in body contouring and appearance. Roura DermSurgery, a plastic surgery facility located in the Philippines, offers one such state of the art treatment, called the Vaser liposuction system, which utilizes advanced and patented fat removal technology that provides safer techniques as well as access to areas of the body including the knees and ankles, waistline, back, neck, and other locations that have often proved difficult for body sculpting or contouring for plastic and cosmetic surgeons.

 

The Vaser Lipo system utilizes ultrasound technology and differentiates fat from blood vessels, connective tissue and nerves, minimizing blood loss, reducing bruising, and providing rapid healing, smoother results and safer procedures. Recovery time is determined by the amount of fat removed as well as the number of sites on the body that are treated but most patients see immediate results.

 

Individuals utilizing newer and advanced liposuction technology benefit from more precise surgery, reduced recovery times and less soreness and pain that results from continually advancing minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Laparoscopic surgeries are an increasingly used method of surgery that is less invasive, promotes faster healing and causes less surrounding tissue damage than traditional surgical incisions for a multitude of conditions. For example, in the “old days”, an individual undergoing an appendectomy would experience a 4 to 6 inch long incision on the lower right abdomen so the surgeon could access and remove the appendix.  Today, laparoscopic procedures for the same operation require 1 to 3 very small incisions, most commonly measuring only a centimeter or two in length.

Individuals undergoing laparoscopic surgeries have shortened recovery times as well as less postoperative pain. Smaller incisions decrease the chance of complications such as infection and offer decreased mortality rates. The fiber-optic instruments and video cameras attached to the laparoscope enable surgeons to view the surgical area on a monitor while utilizing special instruments that avoid surrounding tissue damage of the surgical area.

Laparoscopic surgery is commonly used in obesity and weight loss procedures, multiple orthopedics techniques and procedures, as well as for some cardiac procedures, biopsy procedures, and operations involving the soft tissues or organs of the abdominal area, from the stomach to the pancreas, liver, gallbladder and small and large intestines. Laparoscopic techniques and technology is also used in male and female genitourinary scenarios, such as prostate removal, treatment of the ovaries or uterus and kidney and urinary tract conditions and disorders.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal, offers information on a variety of facilities around the world who perform affordable, quality and effective minimally invasive surgical procedures for a variety of conditions from torn meniscus repair to colonoscopy.
