Not all surgeries are suitable for laparoscopic techniques. The decision depends on the specific condition, the complexity of the surgery, and the surgeon’s judgment.

In some cases, if complications arise or if the surgeon determines that the laparoscopic approach is not feasible, the procedure may be converted to an open surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery is often a good option for elderly patients due to its less invasive nature, which can result in fewer complications and quicker recovery times.

Both are minimally invasive techniques, but robotic surgery involves the use of a robotic system controlled by the surgeon, offering enhanced precision and control.

Many procedures can be performed laparoscopically, including gallbladder removal, hernia repairs, appendectomy, colectomy, anti-reflux surgery, and more.
