Laparoscopic Gynaecological Cancer Surgery

Introduction

Laparoscopic gynecological cancer surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, is a technique used to treat various types of gynecological cancers, including ovarian, cervical, endometrial, and uterine cancers. In this approach, small incisions are made in the abdomen through which a thin, flexible tube with a camera (laparoscope) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted.
