Laparoscopic procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia. In this procedure three or four small incisions are made in the abdomen. Through one of these incisions a cannula is entered to the vein which is guided through it until it reaches the area where the surgery is to be performed. Now through this cannula a laparascope is pushed until it reaches the site of the surgery. Laparoscope is a special instrument in which a camera with a light source is attached to one end of a flexible long tube. This camera takes videos of the surgery being performed and the organs involved in the surgery. These videos are transmitted to a monitor placed in front of the surgeon where he can view an enlarged copy of the video taken by the laparascope. By seeing these videos and remotely controlling the special instruments inserted through other small ports, the surgeon carries out the surgery.
The surgeon pushes back the protruding intestine and other body parts to its original position and to prevent them from falling back, he secures it with the help of synthetic mesh. This mesh is stapled and made permanent attached to its new position. After completing these procedures the surgeon takes out the instruments through the incisions through which the instruments were inserted.
