Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery

Overview

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, uses small incisions and specialized instruments with a camera to perform surgical procedures with minimal tissue trauma.

Symptoms & Indications

Abdominal pain or discomfort
Digestive issues
Need for exploratory surgery
Gallbladder disease
Hernia requiring surgical repair

The Procedure

The procedure involves making 1-3 small incisions, inserting a laparoscope (camera), and using specialized surgical instruments to complete the operation while viewing on a monitor. This approach allows for precise visualization and minimal tissue disruption.

Benefits

Smaller incisions (5-10mm)
Reduced pain and scarring
Faster recovery time
Less infection risk
Earlier return to normal activities
Shorter hospital stay

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within 3-4 weeks. Pain is minimal due to the small incisions, and patients can often go home the same day or after an overnight stay.
