FAQ's

What is the difference between Open Surgery and Laparoscopy?

Compared to traditional open surgery, which requires a larger incision, laparoscopy, often referred to as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions to access internal organs. This methodological difference is significant as it has a considerable impact on patient recovery, often leading to a quicker recovery and less postoperative pain. Laparoscopy has a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Moreover, tissue samples can be biopsied during the procedure for further examination. Additionally, laparoscopy facilitates concurrent surgical intervention, allowing for the treatment of underlying conditions discovered during diagnostic exploration. Therefore, due to its minimally invasive nature and commitment to enhancing patient outcomes, laparoscopy represents a versatile and patient-centred approach to both diagnosis and therapy.

How is Laparoscopic Surgery performed?

In order to ensure that the patient is sleeping and pain-free throughout the laparoscopic treatment, the patient is first put under general anaesthesia. Abdominal incisions are created, usually measuring between 0.5 and 1 cm. One of these incisions is then used to implant a laparoscope, which allows a clear image of the surgical site to be displayed on a monitor. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to give the surgeon more room to work and see the organs. If further tiny incisions are required to complete the treatment, surgical tools are put through them.

What are the advantages of Laparoscopy?

Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic surgery has a number of benefits, such as smaller incisions, less discomfort after surgery, quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, and better results. Laparoscopic surgery's minimally invasive technique speeds up recovery from surgery and lowers the danger of infection and blood loss.

What types of procedures can be performed using Laparoscopic Surgery?

Numerous treatments in a variety of surgical disciplines can be carried out using laparoscopic surgery. Among the common operations are Hysterectomy, Appendectomy, Cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), Hernia Repair, Colorectal Surgery, and Bariatric Surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is a versatile procedure that may be used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.

Is Laparoscopic Surgery safe?

In suitable clinical conditions, laparoscopic surgery is usually regarded as safe when carried out by skilled surgeons. Yet, there are possible risks and side effects, such as bleeding, infection, organ damage, and anaesthesia related responses, just as with any surgical operation. Before having laparoscopic surgery, patients should consult with their healthcare professional about the risks and advantages specific to them.

How long does it typically take to recover from Laparoscopic Surgery?

The length of recovery following laparoscopic surgery varies based on the type and complexity of the operation as well as personal variables like general health and fitness. In contrast to open surgery, patients often have shorter hospital stays and a speedier return to their regular activities. After laparoscopic surgery, the majority of patients are able to resume mild activities in a few days to a week, and complete recovery often occurs in a few weeks

What are the precautions that should be taken after undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery?

After your laparoscopy, ensure you prioritise rest for at least 24 hours, avoiding driving due to anaesthesia effects. Resume light activities and work within 48 hours if you feel up to it. Follow the prescribed medications carefully. Expect abdominal soreness and shoulder pain due to trapped gas, which can be alleviated with prescribed pain relief and heating pads. Gradually reintroduce fluids and light foods, avoiding citrus juices initially. Steer clear of heavy physical exertion and narcotic medication use, and refrain from hot tubs for two weeks. Overall, prioritise hydration, rest, and pain management for a smooth recovery. If you are experiencing severe symptoms or concerns, consult your healthcare provider promptly.

Can anyone undergo laparoscopic surgery?

The majority of people are eligible for laparoscopic surgery; however, eligibility may be impacted by specific criteria, including weight, prior abdominal procedures, and underlying medical disorders. To find out if laparoscopic surgery is suitable for their particular condition, patients should have a comprehensive examination performed by their healthcare professional
