General and laparoscopic surgery are two types of surgical procedures that are performed by surgeons.
General surgery involves operating on various organs and tissues in the body, such as the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, appendix, spleen, pancreas, thyroid, breast, and skin.
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, involves using small incisions and a thin tube with a camera and instruments attached to it. This allows the surgeon to see inside the body and perform the operation with less trauma and faster recovery.
Laparoscopic surgery can be used for many of the same conditions as general surgery, such as appendicitis, hernia, gallstones, obesity, and cancer.
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a doctor to examine the inside of a patient's body using an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and a camera at the end. Endoscopy can be used to diagnose or treat various conditions, such as ulcers, polyps, tumors, bleeding, inflammation, or infections.
