trokariviiltoja

Trokariviiltoja refers to the small incisions made in the abdominal wall during laparoscopic surgery. These incisions, typically measuring between 0.5 and 1.5 centimeters, serve as ports of entry for surgical instruments, a camera, and insufflation gas. The term "trokariviiltoja" is Finnish, combining "trokari" (trocar) and "viiltoja" (incisions). Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, utilizes these small incisions to minimize tissue damage and trauma compared to traditional open surgery. Through the trocars, surgeons can insert specialized instruments and a laparoscope, which is a thin, lighted tube with a camera attached, allowing them to visualize the internal organs on a monitor. The number and placement of trocars vary depending on the specific surgical procedure. After the surgery, these small incisions generally result in less pain, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery times for patients. Proper wound care is still essential to prevent infection and promote healing of the trokariviiltoja.
