Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed with the assistance of a video camera and several thin instruments. The devices used to perform laparoscopic surgery are called laparoscopic devices. The benefits of laparoscopic procedures are less postoperative discomfort, quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, and small external and internal scars. Laparoscopy is performed for surgeries related to the pancreas, liver, colon, and bile duct.

The analysts forecast the Global Laparoscopic Device market to grow at a CAGR of 9.14 percent over the period 2013-2018.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Laparoscopic Device market for the period 2013-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of the following laparoscopic devices:

• Direct energy system device
• Trocars
• Internal closure device
• Laparoscope device
• Hand assist device
• Irrigation system
• Others (gastric band, insufflation device, sample retrieval bag, wound protector)
