Laparoscopic Onco-Surgeries
Laparoscopic Onco-Surgeries
Laparoscopic onco-surgery is a sophisticated, minimally invasive technique used to treat various types of cancer with high precision. Instead of making a large abdominal incision, the surgeon performs the operation through several small openings, typically less than a centimeter in size. A thin tube with a high-intensity light and a high-definition camera, known as a laparoscope, is inserted to provide a magnified view of the internal organs. This approach allows for the radical removal of tumors while significantly reducing the physical impact on the patient’s body.
Symptoms and Indications for Laparoscopy
This surgical method is primarily used for patients diagnosed with cancers of the digestive tract, pelvic organs, or abdomen. Symptoms that often lead to a laparoscopic evaluation include persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or the discovery of a localized mass during routine imaging. If your cancer is diagnosed in the early to middle stages and is located within the abdominal or pelvic cavity, you may be an ideal candidate for this less invasive surgical option.
Types of Laparoscopic Procedures
Laparoscopic techniques are highly effective for a wide range of malignancies. Common procedures include laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer, laparoscopic gastrectomy for stomach cancer, and laparoscopic hysterectomy for uterine or cervical cancers. It is also frequently utilized for adrenal gland tumors and certain liver or pancreatic resections. The precision of the instruments allows the surgeon to perform delicate lymph node dissections, which are essential for accurate cancer staging and preventing recurrence.
The Surgical Process
The procedure begins by gently inflating the abdomen with carbon dioxide gas to create a clear working space for the surgeon. Using the live video feed from the laparoscope, the surgeon utilizes specialized long-handle instruments to carefully separate the tumor from healthy tissue and blood vessels. Once the malignancy is excised, it is removed through one of the small ports, often using a protective bag to prevent any cell seeding. Because the incisions are small, patients experience significantly less post-operative pain and a much lower risk of wound complications.
