Orthopedic procedures typically involve the musculoskeletal system, and many orthopedic conditions are better suited for traditional open surgery. However, there are a few orthopedic procedures that can be performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. Here are a couple of examples. It’s important to note that many other orthopedic procedures, such as joint replacements or spinal surgeries, are typically performed as open surgeries due to the complexity and precision required. Minimally invasive techniques like arthroscopy and endoscopy are generally used when they offer advantages like quicker recovery times and reduced scarring, but not all orthopedic conditions are suitable for these approaches. Patients should consult with their orthopedic surgeons to determine the most appropriate surgical method based on their specific condition. Orthopedic laparoscopic surgeries are relatively less common than laparoscopic surgeries in other medical specialties.
