If you’re scheduled for laparoscopic surgery, you’re probably looking forward to a quicker recovery and less pain. But like any medical procedure, it has its downsides too. While the benefits are clear, understanding the disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery can help you prepare better.
What are the possible disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery?
- Though rare, some patients may experience bleeding, infections, or injury to nearby organs.
- Some laparoscopic procedures can take longer due to the precision required for small incisions.
- If the condition is severe, doctors might need to switch to open surgery.
Knowing both the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery allows you to make an informed decision. If cost is a concern, health insurance can cover expenses like hospital fees and aftercare, making treatment more affordable.
