Laparoscopy
or Keyhole Surgery, is carried out with the aid of a camera inserted into the abdomen or pelvis. A small incision is made in the abdominal wall through which a

A variety of long, narrow instruments can be inserted through the same incision in the skin, or via other small incisions, facilitating a number of procedures without the need for a large surgical incision. A number of major and minor surgeries may be carried out by a
General Surgeon

gallbladder removal
,
appendix removal
,
oesophageal surgery
