👉 In healthcare, a Laparoscopic Gastroenterolaryngologic (Lap) Surgery is a type of surgery that involves removing part or all of the gastrointestinal tract from the abdomen. The goal of this procedure is to treat conditions such as cancer, diverticulitis, and other medical issues in the digestive system. It's an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can leave the hospital after the operation, which makes it less invasive compared to traditional open surgery.
