Laparoscopic or also called "mini-invasive surgery", "bloodless surgery" is a specialized technique for performing operations in the abdominal cavity. In classic "open" surgery, the surgeon uses a different sized incision to enter the abdominal cavity, whereas in laparoscopic surgery, one or several incisions with dimensions of 0.5-1 cm are used. Hollow tubes (trocars) are inserted through each incision, called a port, through which, with the help of a camera and micro-instruments, the relevant organ or pathological process is reached.

The laparoscope transmits images of 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 the traditional ones, but with small incisions, leaving no scars, and without any pain.
