Explanation

A laparoscopic approach refers to a type of surgery that is less invasive than traditional methods. Instead of making a large cut to perform the operation, doctors make small incisions and use special tools and a camera to guide their work. This method is often used because it can reduce pain and recovery time for the patient. It's commonly used for procedures in the abdomen, like gallbladder removal or hernia repair.
