Also attached is a fiber optic cable system connected to a 'cold' light source (halogen or xenon), to illuminate the operative field, which is inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula or trocar. The abdomen is usually insufflated with carbon dioxide gas. This elevates the abdominal wall above the internal organs to create a working and viewing space. CO2
is used because it is common to the human body and can be absorbed by
tissue and removed by the respiratory system. It is also non-flammable,
which is important because electrosurgical devices are commonly used in
laparoscopic procedures.[2]
end Partial quote from:
I had laparoscopic Surgery for a burst appendix early in April. However, I haven't been thinking about CO2 in relation to this. I was wondering how they could work in such a small area accurately. Well, it appears that they inflate a person with CO2 (which is not flammable) so they don't start fires inside the body with lasers they use to cauterize veins during surgery. I found this pretty interesting, especially because I'm all healed up from the little finger sized holes used to perform this operation that now sort of look like moles on my abdomen as they are all healed up now.
This surgery I believe is preferable as long as you have a skilled physician who is good at doing this because you have no scars at all just little finger sized holes that heal over and look sort of like moles. So, recovery is relatively quick for most people from these types of operations as a result. In other word the scar left is no bigger than the tip of your littlest finger for each of maybe 4 or more holes when they are healed over. So, in a bathing suit most people would think you have moles and not scars, for example.
