Your BASS medical team may recommend advanced laparoscopy for you for a number of reasons including:

  • Biopsy
  • Diagnosis or treatment

Common conditions treated through advanced laparoscopy include:

  • Issues involving the pelvis
  • Abdomen,
  • Urinary and reproductive systems
  • Certain cancers

Often, advanced laparoscopy can be used to repair or remove damaged parts of organs.

During a laparoscopy procedure, very small incisions (typically less than ½ inch in size) are made in the body. Specialized, long, thin surgical instruments (including a small fiber optic camera and light) are then passed through these small openings. Thanks to the camera and light, the surgical team members can view and perform their work using delicate, innovative tools and a high definition video monitor.

Often, advanced laparoscopy can be used to repair or remove damaged parts of organs.

The benefits of advanced laparoscopy include a potentially smoother, faster recovery, limited blood loss, less pain (along with decreased need for pain-relievers), smaller scars, and minimized risk of infection. Of course, not every surgery can be performed laparoscopically and not every patient’s circumstances are conducive to this technique. Your individual BASS Medical surgeon will discuss the options with you and make a recommendation based on your medical needs and his/her professional opinion.

Following a laparoscopic procedure, you may feel tired or nauseated from the anesthesia. Still, many people can be discharged from the hospital or surgery center on the day of their surgery. Your BASS Advanced Laparoscopy Surgeon will help you understand what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
