Laparoscopic surgery, also known as "minimally invasive surgery" or "bloodless surgery", is a specialised technique for performing operations in the abdominal cavity. In classic "open" surgical intervention, the surgeon uses an incision of varying size to enter the abdominal cavity. In laparoscopic surgery, one or several incisions of 0.5-1 cm are used. Through each incision, called a port, hollow tubes (trocars) are inserted, through which a camera and micro-instruments are used to reach the relevant organ or pathological process.

The laparoscope transmits images from the abdominal cavity to monitors in the operating room. During the operation, the surgeon views detailed images of the abdominal organs in real time. This system allows the surgeon to perform the same operations as traditional ones, but with small incisions that leave no scars and without pain.

Bloodless treatment methods in the Department of General, Abdominal and Laparoscopic Surgery at MBAL VITA:

  • Laparoscopic surgery for all types of anterior abdominal wall hernias
  • Certain types of hernia (such as recurrent, bilateral, or otherwise complicated ones) are particularly suitable for laparoscopic intervention
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy - A modern method for treating benign diseases of the gallbladder
  • Laparoscopic appendectomy - A method of surgical treatment of appendix inflammation
  • Ultrasonic ligation of haemorrhoidal arteries - A modern method for treating haemorrhoidal disease

Advantages:

  • Fast recovery
  • Reduced hospital stay (24-48 hours)
  • Minimal trauma to the abdominal wall
  • Post-operative pain reduced to a minimum
