Hospital. The patient was a 38 years-old man.













Dr. Jalal Ahmadi told that having low pain and infection, reduction of
hospitalization time, rapid wound healing and fast return to everyday
activities are some of the advantages of this laparoscopic surgery and he
added: before this surgery, all surgeries like Abdominal Cancer had been performed by open surgery method and the abdomen had been cut. But
in this method, laparoscopic technique, the surgery is performed by making some
small holes into the abdomen; a surgical and imaging tool is directed to these
holes into the body and the surgeon observes the images through a monitor.

performed in Birjand and this will prevent sending patients to large cities.
