Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive, key-hole diagnostic procedure that allows a surgeon to inspect the organs inside your body - without conducting an open surgery. A thin, long tube equipped with a tiny light and a high-definition camera at the tip is introduced into the body via a small incision or a port to capture images of the abdominal cavity. The capture images are transmitted to high-resolution monitors in the operating room - that allows the surgeon to perform the same operation as traditional open surgery but with smaller incisions.

Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgeries: While laparoscopic surgery is performed by a surgeon using a laparoscope, robotic surgery is performed using a computer console. Robotic surgery includes a camera arm and another arm (mechanical arm) to which surgical instruments are attached.

Some general surgeries that are commonly carried out via laparoscopic or robotic include:
Appendix
Achalasia cardia
Gall bladder stones
Gastrointestinal cancers (Oesophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, etc.)
Hiatus hernia: A hiatus hernia is a condition when your stomach bulges up through an opening in your diaphragm (hiatus).
Simple to complex hernias: A simple or basic hernia is the bulging of an organ through an abdominal opening. A basic hernia can turn into a complex hernia when repeated surgical attempts to close the abdominal opening fail.
