Laparoscopyassisted

Laparoscopyassisted, also known as laparoscopic-assisted surgery, is a surgical technique that combines the use of laparoscopy with traditional open surgery. In this approach, surgeons insert a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light) into the abdominal cavity to visualize internal organs and perform initial procedures via small incisions. If complications arise or more extensive tissue removal is required, the procedure may transition to an open abdominal incision to ensure thorough surgical management. This method aims to reduce patient trauma compared to full open surgery while maintaining the precision and visualization benefits of laparoscopy. Laparoscopyassisted procedures are commonly employed in oncologic surgeries (e.g., for gastric, colorectal, or ovarian cancers), complex gynecological surgeries, and certain urological interventions, where balancing minimally invasive advantages with surgical necessity is critical. The technique's success depends on the surgeon's skill, the complexity of the case, and the ability to adapt between laparoscopic and open approaches seamlessly.
