GI Cancer Surgery

Laparoscopic/Open GI Cancer Surgery

What is a Laparoscopic Procedure?

A laparoscopic, or minimally invasive keyhole surgical procedure, is an alternative to traditional “open” surgery in which a large incision must be made. These small incisions create a passageway for special surgical instruments and a laparoscope. A laparoscope is a fiber-optic instrument that is inserted in the abdominal wall. This device transmits images from within the body to a video monitor, allowing the surgeon to see the operative area on the screen.

Advantages to the minimally invasive approach include:

  • Quicker recovery
  • Quicker return to normal activities and work
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Reduced rate of infection
  • Reduced recurrence rate
  • Minimal scarring
