tähystysleikkausta

Tähystysleikkaus, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, is a surgical technique performed through small incisions. Instead of a large open cut, surgeons use specialized instruments and a camera called an endoscope to visualize and operate within the body. The endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera, transmits images to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to see inside the body in detail. Small instruments are then inserted through separate small incisions to perform the necessary surgical actions.

This technique offers several advantages over traditional open surgery. Patients typically experience less pain, reduced blood loss, and shorter recovery times. The smaller incisions also lead to less scarring and a lower risk of infection. Tähystysleikkaus is widely used for a variety of procedures, including abdominal surgeries (like appendectomies and gallbladder removals), gynecological procedures, orthopedic surgeries (such as knee or shoulder repairs), and urological procedures. The specific instruments and techniques used vary depending on the type of surgery and the body part being operated on. While offering many benefits, it is not suitable for all conditions or patients, and the decision to use tähystysleikkaus is made by the surgical team based on individual circumstances.
