What are the advantages of doing laparoscopic over open surgery?
The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery are that the surgical cuts are much smaller and there is less handling of the organs during surgery. This means that you experience less pain and are able to move around quicker and more easily. All of this leads to quicker recovery.
