Laparoscopic surgery offers a number of advantages over an open procedure. These include:
- Reduced bleeding, which minimises the need for a blood transfusion
- Smaller incisions, which translates to less pain, less medication, a shorter recovery time and less post-operative scarring
- Shorter hospital stay, often with discharge on the same day. This translates to less hospital bills and a faster return to your everyday routine
- Reduced exposure of internal organs to external contaminants, reducing risk of infection
