Laparoscopic surgery is sometimes called keyhole surgery, or minimally invasive surgery. You usually recover more quickly from this type of surgery than open surgery.

Your surgeon will talk to you about which type of surgery is likely to be best in your situation.

Your operation may be done as open surgery or as laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
