Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a type of surgical procedure that involves making small incisions in the body and using specialized instruments to perform the surgery. At Mehta Hospital, we offer a range of laparoscopic surgeries performed by our team of experienced and skilled surgeons. This technique offers many benefits over traditional open surgery, including less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery times.

Types of Laparoscopic Surgery

At Mehta Hospital, we offer a range of laparoscopic surgeries, including:

1. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: This is a surgery to remove the gallbladder, which is done to treat conditions such as gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder. During the surgery, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (a small, lighted instrument with a camera) is used to guide the surgical instruments.
2. Laparoscopic appendectomy: This is a surgery to remove the appendix, which is done to treat appendicitis, a condition that causes inflammation of the appendix. During the surgery, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope is used to guide the surgical instruments.
3. Laparoscopic hernia repair: This is a surgery to repair a hernia, which is a condition where an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall that surrounds it. During the surgery, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope is used to guide the surgical instruments.
4. Laparoscopic hysterectomy: This is a surgery to remove the uterus, which is done to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids or cancer. During the surgery, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope is used to guide the surgical instruments.
5. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery: This is a surgery to treat conditions such as colon cancer, diverticulitis, or inflammatory bowel disease. During the surgery, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope is used to guide the surgical instruments.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including:

1. Less pain: Laparoscopic surgery causes less pain than traditional open surgery because the incisions made in the body are smaller.
2. Reduced scarring: Laparoscopic surgery causes less scarring than traditional open surgery because the incisions made in the body are smaller.
3. Faster recovery times: Laparoscopic surgery allows patients to recover faster than traditional open surgery because the body is not as traumatized by the procedure.
4. Shorter hospital stays: Laparoscopic surgery often allows patients to leave the hospital sooner than traditional open surgery because the recovery time is faster.
5. Lower risk of infection: Laparoscopic surgery carries a lower risk of infection than traditional open surgery because the incisions made in the body are smaller.
6. Improved cosmetic results: Laparoscopic surgery often results in better cosmetic results than traditional open surgery because the incisions made in the body are smaller and less noticeable.
