FAQ

General, Laparoscopic & Minimal Access Surgery is a specialized field of surgery that employs minimally invasive techniques to perform a wide range of surgical procedures. This approach uses small incisions and specialized instruments, leading to faster recovery times and reduced post-operative discomfort.

Laparoscopic and minimal access surgery can be used to treat various conditions, including gallbladder disorders, hernias, appendicitis, colorectal conditions, reflux diseases, and certain gynecological conditions. It is also utilized in weight loss surgeries and certain cancer surgeries.

In laparoscopic surgery, small incisions (often less than an inch) are made, through which a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) and specialized instruments are inserted. The surgeon performs the procedure while viewing a magnified image on a monitor. In contrast, traditional open surgery involves larger incisions and direct access to the surgical site.

The benefits of these techniques include reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, smaller scars, lower risk of infection, and less blood loss during surgery. Patients often experience a quicker return to normal activities.

Many patients are candidates for laparoscopic or minimal access surgery, but the suitability depends on the specific condition and the patient's overall health. In some cases, factors like the size and location of the problem area may influence the choice of surgical approach.
