Description

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimal access surgery or keyhole surgery, is a surgical technique that involves making small incisions in the abdomen or pelvis and inserting a camera and specialized instruments to perform various operations. Laparoscopic surgery has many advantages over traditional open surgery, such as less pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and fewer complications¹. However, laparoscopic surgery also requires a high level of skill, training, and experience from the surgeons and the surgical team. To master the art and science of laparoscopic surgery, one needs to have access to the latest knowledge, techniques, and technologies in this field. This is where the World Laparoscopy Hospital (WLH) comes in.
