Above all, the biggest advantage is that it does not leave large scars that usually were caused by the traditional laparotomy. Therefore, there is less stress on our body after surgery, and the pain and hospitalization period after surgery can be reduced. Therefore, the period to return to normal life after surgery is much shorter.

However, laparoscopic surgery may not be a good option for all patients. For example, if there is a history of laparotomy and the adhesion of the organs in the abdominal cavity is severe, it is difficult to secure a clear view during the surgery and the operation time would be too long, which can cause many side effects. Therefore, we can expect positive results only when the surgical method is selectively decided after thorough examination of the condition or characteristics of the patient.

In the early stage, laparoscopic surgery was applied only to sterilization of women, and then gradually developed into cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and diagnostic laparoscopic surgery. The scope of application has been expanded to almost all surgical, obstetric and gynecological diseases, including resection of malignant tumors, hernia surgery, thyroidectomy, hysterectomy and ovarian surgery. The current robotic surgery can also be considered as an advanced form of laparoscopy.
