Surgery games are internet-based games which simulates real-life surgeries like a laparoscopic surgery. This type of surgery uses a tiny camera and very small instruments that the doctor control using joystick-like mechanisms. This surgery is now performed almost anywhere inside the body and fixes problems like an appendix, gall bladder and colon problems.
Laparoscopy is a minimally intrusive type of surgery with only tiny keyhole-size incisions where a mini-video camera can be inserted which in turn sends the images to a video screen so that the doctor can view the inside of the body. These are replicated in surgery games.
