Introduction

Laparoscopy medical treatment now becomes popular in the modern healthcare industry. Compared to traditional surgery, which involves opening the entire abdomen, advanced surgery involves inserting a tube with a camera and a surgical instrument. Doctors watch the whole process, monitor, and perform surgery on a patient. The surgery has become popular because it requires a small incision and a fast recovery. Blood loss becomes minimal during the surgery, and chances of infection from environmental viruses and human handling also become zero.
