Best Answer

Keyhole surgery (laparoscopy/ MIS-minimally invasive surgery) uses a small incision instead of a large incision, to allow the insertion of the medical instruments, lights and a camera into the area of operation. This reduces the damage to surrounding tissue, posssibly gives a quicker recovery, may be less painful and cause less scarring.

The area of operation may be inflated for ease of manouevrability, with carbon dioxide gas.

Is it possible to get stomach surgery and not get a scar?

It depends on what you need the surgery for.There is such a thing as keyhole surgery. This is where surgeons make an incision small enough for a tiny camera and relevant operating instruments to enter the body. The scar is normally too small to notice. However some types of surgery will require a larger incision. Have a talk with your doctor about the options.
