Advanced Laparoscopy

Symptoms & Conditions Treated

Your BASS medical team may recommend advanced laparoscopy for various conditions, including:

• Biopsy or Diagnostic Procedures
• Pelvic Disorders
• Abdominal Issues
• Urinary and Reproductive System Conditions
• Certain Cancers
• Hernia Repairs
• Organ Damage Requiring Repair or Removal

Treatment: How Advanced Laparoscopy Works

During a laparoscopic procedure:

• Small incisions (typically less than ½ inch) are made in the body.
• Specialized fiber optic cameras and surgical instruments are inserted.
• Surgeons operate using a high-definition video monitor, providing enhanced precision and control.

Benefits of Advanced Laparoscopy:

• Faster Recovery – Many patients are discharged the same day.
• Less Pain – Reduced need for post-surgical pain medications.
• Minimal Scarring – Smaller incisions mean reduced scarring.
• Lower Infection Risk – Decreased chances of post-operative complications.
• Reduced Blood Loss – Lower risk of complications and quicker healing.

Not all surgeries can be performed laparoscopically, and each patient's condition is unique. Your BASS Medical surgeon will discuss your options to determine if this method is suitable for you.
