Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have varicocele, and the doctor has recommended surgery. I read in a book that this type of surgery involves laparoscopic high ligation. Could you please explain what laparoscopy is? Is it the minimally invasive surgery they talk about on TV? My area is quite underdeveloped, and I'm worried the hospital doesn't have such advanced equipment. Thank you for your answer.Doctor's answer:
Laparoscopic surgery is currently considered a popular type of minimally invasive surgery. The method involves making a few small incisions and using special mirrors to display the inside on a monitor. There is an adaptation process where hand and eye coordination, as well as hand and mind synchronization, are developed. In fact, varicocele surgery is quite simple, with small incisions and significantly lower costs.
