Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach in which specially designed instruments and a camera are introduced through small openings to allow the surgeon to perform a procedure.

Whether laparoscopic surgery is appropriate depends on the patient's condition and the assessment of the treating specialist.
Not necessarily. The most appropriate surgical approach depends on the patient's condition, medical history, examination and other clinical considerations.
