The new method in surgery is used during removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy), various parts of the rectum. This method can remove the spleen, both kidneys (nephrectomy). The new surgical method is actively used in the treatment of intestinal obstruction, as well as pancreatitis and various inguinal hernias. But perhaps the greatest spread of this method has been in gynecological practice.
As in conventional surgery, general anesthesia is used during laparoscopy, blood pressure and cardiac activity are monitored.
By nature of performance, laparoscopy can be performed both electively and urgently. By timing – before surgical intervention, during it, as well as in the early or late postoperative period.
There are diagnostic, therapeutic and control types of laparoscopy. Laparoscopy can be operative or conservative.
Conservative laparoscopy provides non-invasive treatment methods under visual control. When, for example, internal organs are injected with drugs, necessary medications are administered.
Operative laparoscopy is a full-fledged surgical intervention: the integrity of tissues, vessels and organs is disrupted. However, unlike conventional surgical methods, after laparoscopy the patient's condition is much better, the area of damaged tissues is smaller, and the patient's rehabilitation is faster.
If the doctor has doubts about the results of clinical diagnostic methods, the need to take materials for study, then laparoscopy is also used.
