Enumerate the advantages as well as the limitations of laparoscopic surgery.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery:
Minimally invasive, resulting in smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery. Reduced hospital stay and lower risk of wound infections. Better cosmetic outcomes and quicker return to daily activities. Improved visualization of abdominal structures due to magnified view. Less blood loss and reduced postoperative adhesions.
Limitations of Laparoscopic Surgery:
Requires specialized training and expensive equipment. Limited tactile feedback compared to open surgery. Prolonged operative time in complex cases. Not suitable for all patients, such as those with extensive adhesions or unstable hemodynamics. Risk of injury to internal organs and major vessels exists.
