Explanation

Laparoscopic refers to a type of surgery that is less invasive than traditional methods. Instead of making a large cut, the surgeon makes a few small ones and inserts a camera and tools to perform the operation. The camera allows the surgeon to see inside the body without having to make a large opening. This type of surgery often results in less pain and a quicker recovery for the patient.
