Laparoscopy
Modern advancements in medical technology and efforts of the doctors is instrumental in bringing relief to patients. Laparoscopy is a modern surgical procedure in which operations are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) in the body. Doctors advocate the surgery due to the chance of reduced pain and less chances of haemorrhaging happening to the patient. The operation is done to examine the internal organs in the body with the aid of the camera.
