Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as closed surgery, refers to the performance of gynecological operations through a few small incisions (0.5-1 cm) without a large incision in the abdominal area. In this method, organs are monitored in high resolution with the help of a high-tech camera placed inside the abdomen, and the surgical procedure is completed with this image. Thanks to it being a minimally invasive approach, tissue damage is kept at a minimum level.

The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The abdominal cavity is gently inflated with carbon dioxide gas to allow for a clearer view of the organs. The camera inserted through the navel enlarges the surgical field 10-15 times, allowing the surgeon to see even the finest vascular and nerve structures. Depending on the type of operation, surgical hand tools are inserted through additional holes opened in the sides of the abdomen to complete the process.

The reason why laparoscopic surgery is most preferred by patients is the rapid recovery process. The recovery period, which takes weeks in open surgeries, is expressed in days in the closed method.

The requirement for surgical intervention in gynecological diseases can be worrying for many patients. However, today, thanks to laparoscopic surgery (closed surgery) technology, large incisions and long recovery periods are left behind. Prof. Dr. Fisun Vural combines her academic knowledge with laparoscopic techniques to offer advanced surgical solutions that promise minimum pain and the fastest recovery for her patients. This article is prepared for you to understand why closed surgery is the gold standard for your gynecological health problems and the comfort of this process.
What is Laparoscopic Surgery? Why Should It Be Preferred?
Laparoscopy is a method performed with the help of a thin camera (laparoscope) and special surgical instruments placed through small incisions between 0.5 and 1 cm opened in the lower abdominal area. The surgeon performs the surgery by seeing the internal organs in detail on a high-resolution screen. This minimally invasive approach minimizes tissue damage and infection risk seen in open surgeries.
In Prof. Dr. Fisun Vural’s clinical practice, laparoscopy plays a vital role not only in treatment but also in identifying pelvic pain and causes of infertility that cannot be diagnosed (diagnostic laparoscopy). The biggest advantage of this method for our patients is that they can stand up just a few hours after the surgery and return to their social lives quickly.
