Prof. Des Winter - Consultant Surgeon.
Laparoscopic Surgery vs Open Surgery

"We do laparoscopic or keyhole surgery using small incisions and long instruments rather than the old-fashioned way of large incisions."

"It's a less painful operation and as a result, we don't need to give as many morphine-like drugs. This means the patient has a more 'clear' recovery. Less wounds also means a faster recovery time.
