FAQ's

What distinguishes Minimally Invasive Surgery from Conventional Surgery?

In Minimally Invasive Surgery, multiple small incisions (less than half an inch) are used to execute procedures instead of a single, larger incision (up to 24 inches long, depending on the technique).

This method is made possible by the use of thin tubes equipped with cameras, surgical instruments, and retractors during procedures. During robotic-assisted surgeries, the surgeon uses robotic arms to operate these tiny tubes precisely and without the chance of tremors.

Does the surgeon get replaced by the robotic system?

Surgeons can perform their procedures with greater precision due to the robotic equipment. This enables them to use Minimally Invasive Surgery to accomplish intricate procedures. The motions of the surgeon are simulated in real time by the technology. It must be made to move by something other than programming. Direct control is always with the surgeon. The system does not make decisions.

What benefits does Minimally Invasive Surgery offer?

Compared to traditional open surgery, Minimally Invasive Surgery has fewer incisional complications, quicker healing and repair, and less postoperative pain. Because of the superior illumination and camera magnification provided by the minimally invasive method, surgeons can see better. This approach has the potential to be safer than open surgery since each operator can see the region of interest equally.

What new dangers come with such surgery?

Minimally Invasive Surgery carries extremely few additional risks. The majority of patients have considerably better tolerance for Minimally Invasive Procedures than they do for open surgical procedures. Before having any type of surgery, it's crucial to talk about health concerns with your doctor.

Which surgical operations are carried out in Minimal Access Surgery?

The majority of surgical operations can be carried out in a minimally invasive manner. This includes the oesophagal, stomach, gallbladder, liver, spleen, pancreas, small and large intestine, appendix, adrenal glands, kidneys, and bladder. Surgery for removing the appendix, hernia, etc is also performed by Minimal Invasive Surgery

What is Hernia?

An organ pushing through the muscle or tissue that surrounds it causes a hernia, which typically occurs in the groyne or belly. Depending on the activity or position, it could appear as a strange bulge that appears and disappears. Symptoms like pain or discomfort may or may not be experienced. Surgery is usually required to repair most hernias.

What would happen before my Minimal Access Surgery procedure?

Following testing, a surgery strategy is developed based on the findings. Laparoscopy is now the method of choice for the majority of treatments since it is less dangerous than open surgery. Before the procedure, the doctor recommends quitting smoking and alcohol, fasting for eight hours, and not taking anticoagulants or blood thinners for three to four days. Because the effects of anaesthesia take time to wear off, you must pack a bag and have someone accompany you if you are leaving the hospital that day.

What happens during the procedure?

A little incision is made close to the navel to implant a trocar equipped with a cannula. The belly is inflated by passing CO2 gas through the trocar, giving greater workspace and visibility. A laparoscope is inserted to view images on a screen. The physician makes a second tiny incision through which the second arm of the laparoscope is placed as he examines and treats problematic organs. This arm is used to pass instruments throughout the procedure. Following completion, the incisions are closed and bandaged, and CO2 is removed. The process determines how long the surgery will take.

What would happen after my surgery?

Following surgery, you will be seen in the recovery area, where you will be given easily digested meals to eat and drink and have your excretion closely observed. Following surgery, instructions include cleaning the wound, taking medications as directed to reduce swelling and infection, monitoring for infection symptoms, and getting plenty of rest.

What changes might I experience after my discharge from the hospital?

Because you won't be eating as much during the first few days following your Laparoscopic or Bariatric procedure, you will feel weak and exhausted. Eating smaller portions of nutrient-dense food regularly will be necessary to maintain rapid and thorough digestion.
