New-Age Laparoscopy Devices Changing the Face of Gastrointestinal Surgeries
With the emergence and development of new-age surgical devices, it has become quite simple for doctors to detect and treat diseases that were once considered incurable.
Though most digestive issues can successfully be treated by adopting a healthy lifestyle, some cases need special attention and more than just lifestyle changes. Some severe conditions require medications or even surgeries.
Laparoscopy is one such kind of surgery that has come so far with the development of various equipment focusing on the treatment methodologies of different medical problems. Laparoscopy is considered to be a game changer in the array of gastrointestinal surgeries.
This article will provide a wide knowledge of advanced laparoscopy and several laparoscopic applications in the healthcare sector.
What are laparoscopy devices?
Various equipment such as laparoscopes, energy devices, hand instruments, access devices, closure devices, insufflators, and other instruments are included in laparoscopy devices.
Laparoscopy has widespread application and can be used to perform several types of surgical procedures. The fiber-optic instrument is introduced via the abdominal wall for minimally invasive diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in a laparoscopic procedure. With high precision and minimum acquaintance of human errors, these minimally invasive surgeries are usually given much preference over open surgeries.
Laparoscopic surgery offers faster recovery with better cosmetic outcomes and can be used to treat various complications such as Crohn’s disease, colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, familial polyposis, bowel incontinence, rectal prolapse, etc.
With laparoscopic surgery, the chance of direct contact between the surgeon and patient is reduced, which also decreases the risk of any transmission of germs.
What is the approach of laparoscopy in gastrointestinal emergencies?
Laparoscopy is a safe and feasible technique used in the treatment of gastric and oesophageal life-threatening conditions such as oesophageal perforation and perforated peptic ulcers.
Recent advancements in endoscopic and minimally invasive laparoscopy techniques have reduced the rates of reoperation, oesophagostomies, open surgical interventions, morbidity, and mortality.
Laparoscopic techniques are commonly used in the treatment of perforations secondary to pneumatic dilation, including achalasia and Boerhaave syndrome. Laparoscopic surgeries are a safer option when it comes to talking perforated ulcers.
There are numerous potential benefits associated with this minimally invasive technique which include lesser abdominal wall trauma, lower risk of blood loss, wound infection, and hemorrhage, minor scars, faster recovery, and lower treatment and recovery costs.
How are laparoscopy devices taking over the healthcare industry?
The demand for laparoscopy devices such as laparoscopes, energy devices, and closure devices has noticed a growth in the reliability and preference for laparoscopic surgeries over open surgeries. The integration of the healthcare industry with robotics and AI provides a major opportunity for laparoscopic devices to conquer the market.
Furthermore, key trends observed in laparoscopy devices are encouraging the transition from conventional surgeries to robot-assisted surgeries. The rising demand for minimally invasive procedures and the increasing number of product launches among market players have resulted in the development and adoption of advanced and cutting-edge laparoscopy devices.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic highly impacted the healthcare industry and all other social functions worldwide, which include the market for laparoscopy devices, the Canada laparoscopy devices market hasn’t seen many alterations.
According to a report published by BIS Research, the Canada laparoscopy devices market witnessed a CAGR of 7.31% during the forecast period 2022–2031 and was valued at $392.1 million in 2021, and it is anticipated to reach $865.6 million by 2031.

Certainly, with the values estimated after the research, it is believed as the market is expected to be driven by factors such as the rising preference for minimally invasive surgeries, the growing geriatric population, the rising bariatric population, and rising approval for robotic surgical systems.
What are the possible complications of laparoscopic surgeries?
Though laparoscopy is a safe and reliable option as compared to conventional surgeries, there still exists a possibility for risks and complications. Some common risks with laparoscopy devices and surgeries are:
Trocar Injuries: It is a rare but serious injury that can occur during trocar insertion; it includes blood vessel injury, bowel injury, nerve injury, and port-site hernia.
Insufflation Complications: Patients may have an adverse reaction to the carbon-dioxide gas used during the procedure to inflate the abdominal cavity. The complication includes hypercapnia, pneumothorax, subcutaneous or mediastinal emphysema, and hypothermia.
General Surgical Risks: All surgeries that are performed have some general risks; the same goes for laparoscopy. These risks include allergic reactions to anesthesia, internal adhesions from scar tissue, excessive bleeding, and wound infection.
Conclusion
Laparoscopy devices have shown a successful adoption in the medical field and are expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period (2022–2031).
Furthermore, the robotic-assisted laparoscopy devices segment is expected to grow faster in the market owing to the several advantages associated with normal devices and the rising regulatory approvals in the healthcare industry for robotic systems.
