Laparoscopy (Minimally Invasive Surgery)
- Small incisions (0.5–1.5 cm)
- Uses a camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments
- Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery
- Lower risk of infection and complications
- Better cosmetic outcomes
Laparotomy (Open Surgery)
- Large incision (>6–10 cm)
- Direct access to abdominal organs
- More pain and longer hospital stay
- Slower recovery time
- Higher risk of infection and complications
- Preferred in emergencies or complex cases
