Benefits
The most important benefit of Laparoscopic Surgery is that there are no large, painful incisions. Patients are able to return to their usual activities quickly, often within a day or two, instead of having to spend several weeks recovering while a long incision heals. Respiratory problems such as pneumonia are much less common following Laparoscopic Surgery, again because the patient can move around and take deep breaths without discomfort. Infections and wound hernias seldom occur after Laparoscopic Surgery.
