Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy (Minimally Invasive Surgery)

Laparoscopy is a modern surgical technique performed through small keyhole incisions using a thin camera (laparoscope) and specialised instruments. It allows surgeons to diagnose and treat various conditions with high precision while minimising tissue damage.

Treatments done with laparoscopy

Gallbladder disease, appendix problems, hernia, gynaecological conditions, diagnostic abdominal issues, and select urological procedures.

Why is laparoscopy  preferred

• Smaller cuts with minimal scarring
• Less pain and blood loss
• Lower risk of infection
• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
• Early return to daily activities

How is it done

A tiny camera is inserted through a small incision to visualise internal organs on a screen. Surgery is performed using fine instruments through additional small ports.

Recovery

Most patients walk the same day, resume normal diet quickly, and return to routine work within a few days, depending on the procedure.

Laparoscopy offers safe, effective treatment with quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
