It is true that minimally invasive surgery or so called laparoscopic surgery is currently available in Eugene Oregon.
Definition:
Instead of a traditional large incision surgeon used to make to operate in the abdominal and chest cavity. Surgeons now can use much smaller incisions to operate in the same cavity and achieving similar results. That is why it is called minimally invasive surgery.
Other terms:
Laparoscopic surgery applied to minimally invasive surgery in the abdomen cavity.
Thoracoscopic surgery applied to minimally invasive surgery in the chest (also called thoracic) cavity
Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery or laparoscopic surgery:
1. Smaller incisions mean less postoperative pain and wound complications (i.e.: infection and dehiscence)
2. Shorter hospital stays
3. Earlier recommence of oral intake
4. Cosmetically excellent
5. Less long terms side effect (less chances of adhesions, bowel obstruction and ventral hernia)
Disadvantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery or Laparoscopic Surgery:
1. Surgeon needs extra years of proper training in order to minimize complications due to technical error. These complications can be significant and therefore, it is essential that the surgeon is comfortable with this new technique and know their limits.
