Laparoscope in Prostatectomy


The laparoscope is a slender tube-shaped instrument which allows a surgeon to view the internal organs contained within the abdomen. Laparoscopic surgery does not require an incision other than one used for its entry into the abdominal cavity. The laparoscopic prostatectomy and robotic prostatectomy use the laparoscope during prostate surgery and results in less blood loss and a quicker recovery time.
