Explanation

"Laparoscopic gastric" refers to a type of surgery that is performed on the stomach using a laparoscope, a long, thin tube with a high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera at the front. The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen to insert the laparoscope and special instruments to perform the surgery. This method is less invasive than traditional open surgery, which means it usually involves less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a quicker recovery.
