In laparoscopic and bariatric surgery, a surgeon does not cut any muscles. Using specialized instruments, a surgeon reaches the stomach without damaging or cutting surrounding muscles and other tissues. In case a muscle does get damaged or cut, it will cause pain after the surgery.
Do You Cut Muscles for Laparoscopic and Bariatric Surgery
No, so as I said, when we make the incisions we use these instruments or something called trocars, and the trocars go in between the muscles and the fascia, so to cause less pain and less harm. So there we try not to cut any muscles or fascia if we can because that is why most patients have pain postoperatively.
