Can a patient undergo the procedure while being in senses?
No, the patient will be administered with general anesthesia before the procedure begins. This means the people are going to be asleep whilst they are undergoing laparoscopy.
But yes, if the doctor deems it necessary as per the individual condition of the patient, then he may undergo local anesthesia.
Why is laparoscopy considered an ideal diagnostic procedure?
Since a surgeon uses a fine and thin device that has a light and camera attached to it that would help them to visualize the disease or the organ damage more frequently.
