| | Laparoscopic Surgery, also referred to as Minimally Invasive Surgery, is a surgical technique that uses a long, thin telescope-like instrument (the laparoscope) attached to a video camera that projects images onto a video monitor. | | | Almost a decade has elapsed since the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, yet only a small percentage of other surgical procedures are being done using laparoscopic techniques, and only a very small percentage of surgeons have specialized training in laparoscopic surgery. | | | Nonetheless, reluctance to adopt laparoscopic techniques for other procedures remains high, despite the many advances in technology that allow surgeons to perform most intra-abdominal surgeries using techniques that are truly minimally invasive. |

| | However, laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer is considered experimental because it is not known whether the technique removed tumors as effectively as the conventional, open surgical operation called a colectomy. | | | Malek has over 25 years of experience in laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis and fibroids in the New York area. | | | For the patient, the potential advantages of laparoscopic surgery include less pain after the laparoscopic surgery, a shorter hospital stay, and a shorter recovery period. |

| | Laparoscopic surgery |
| | While the laparoscopic approach is currently used most often today in the removal of gallbladders and in the assistance of performing a hysterectomy, this approach to surgery is quickly being applied to other areas as well, including removal of the appendix, repair of hiatal hernias, and removal of large or multiple colon polyps. | | | Additionally, the laparoscopic approach is not applicable to everyone’s condition. | | | Known better in its early days as "laser surgery," physicians now use the laparoscope – a very small video camera that is inserted into the body through a tiny incision – to control "joystick surgery" that is performed through two or three other half-inch-long incisions in the area of question. |

| | With this surgery, a laparoscope (a small, thin tube with a scope on the tip of it that is used to see the inside of your body) is used to remove the gallbladder. | | | If you had surgery around your gallbladder before, if you tend to bleed a lot, or if you have any problem that would make it hard for your doctor to see your gallbladder, an open surgery may be better for you. | | | Unlike traditional surgery, laparoscopic surgery to remove the gallbladder can be done without cutting the muscles of your abdomen. |

| | The small incisions utilized in laparoscopic surgery are associated with considerably less pain, as reflected in the patient’s reduced postoperative need for narcotic medication. | | | The laparoscopic approach to colon cancer is associated with smaller incisions, reduced pain, less postoperative narcotic requirement, shorter hospitalization, and quicker recovery. | | | Therefore, it makes sense that the laparoscopic approach, which uses small incisions, is associated with less pain and less need for postoperative narcotics than the conventional open approach. |
