Common laparoscopic procedures include:

• Colon Surgery. The major reasons for laparoscopic surgery on the colon include diverticulosis, the removal of large growths called polyps that can’t be completely removed by colonoscopy, and colon cancer.
• Stomach Surgery
• Gall Bladder Surgery
• Anti-Reflux Surgery

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a camera to look within a joint, rather than opening it completely. Orthopedic surgeons use arthroscopy to diagnose, treat, and repair numerous conditions and diseases that may cause joint pain or mobility problems.
