How Laparoscopic Surgery Works

This video shows a surgeon using graspers to fold a tiny paper crane, because they’re practicing for laparoscopic surgery. These tools help surgeons work through tiny incisions, reducing pain and recovery time. Their invention over a century ago revolutionized how surgeons are able to operate on people. Now, they're getting even more advanced, which is changing what it looks like to do surgery and what it might look like if you get surgery...

More personally, I had a laparoscopic surgery a few years ago. My recovery time was pretty short, I barely have a scar. Without these tools, it would have been a much harder process. So, thank you to the people who keep making medicine better.
