Advancements In Laparoscopic Surgery: Techniques For Reducing Recovery Time And Complications

Abstract

The objective of this work was to determine the efficacy of standard laparoscopy (Group A) and advanced laparoscopy (Group B) in surgical operations. Two hundred patients were randomly divided into two groups, one group had 100 patients while the other group also had a similar number of patients. There were no statistical differences observed between the groups regarding age, gender, BMI, and comorbidity profile. The main endpoints were time to recovery, postoperative morbidity, pain, and the length of hospital stay. Group B patients had a shorter hospital stay (5.2 ± 1.3 days) as compared to Group A (7.5 ± 1.8 days, p < 0.001). The postoperative complications rate was also significantly lower in Group B, 10%, compared to Group A 20%, p = 0.03 suggesting a better safety profile of advanced laparoscopic surgery. Mean pain scores were 3.6 ± 0.9 in Group B and 5.4 ± 1.2 in Group A, (p < 0.001) indicating better pain control. The length of hospital stay in Group B was comparatively less (2.5 ± 0.8 days) than in Group A (3.8 ± 1.2 days, p < 0.001). They demonstrate that advanced laparoscopy has a shorter recovery time, fewer complications, better analgesia, and shorter length of stay and therefore provides clinical and cost benefits.
