Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed with the assistance of a video camera and several thin instruments. Laparoscopy is a form of minimally invasive endoscopy surgery of abdominal cavity and female pelvic region. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are preferred over open surgeries because of their obvious merits such as lesser blood loss, scar free surgery, quick recovery and reduced hospital stay. Laparoscopic surgery represents one of the largest medical segments with about 8 million surgeries performed annually worldwide.
