Is laparoscopic surgery dangerous?

Laparoscopic surgery is also risky, as any kind of surgery carries certain risks. Laparoscopic surgery needs to be performed under general anesthesia, and because open surgery requires the establishment of a pneumoperitoneum during surgery, especially in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obesity, they are also prone to complications, commonly the development of gas embolism. The pneumoperitoneum also affects the movement of the diaphragm, which can easily affect respiratory movements and complicate postoperative pleural effusion and intrapulmonary infections, and can also easily lead to abdominal organ collateral damage during surgery. In addition, abdominal surgery is also prone to complications of abdominal infection and even intestinal adhesions or intestinal obstruction. Therefore, for open surgery, early postoperative instructions to remove the patient from bed can reduce the chance of complications. In addition, laparoscopic surgery has many advantages, because it is relatively less invasive and recovery is faster after surgery.
