What is laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which the surgeon accesses the stomach from inside using a small & lighted instrument known as the laparoscope. The laparoscope is inserted through small incisions made near the abdomen area. The size of the incision is around 5-15 millimeters. Being a minimally invasive surgery it has several advantages over open surgeries. It is a philosophy that believes that cure is possible through least trauma and this, in fact, is a patient’s right.

What are the benefits of laparoscopy?

  • Reduced hospital stay: Laparoscopy is generally an outpatient procedure and in most of the cases, patients can leave on the same day.
  • Shorter recovery time: The recovery time after laparoscopy is significantly lesser as compared to open surgery.
  • Better cosmetic healing: Since the cuts are small (5-10 mm) so they heal faster.
  • Lesser pain: The pain during and post surgery is lesser than open surgery

Laparoscopy Procedure

The whole procedure generally takes around 30-60 minutes but time may vary according to the case. You will be administered anesthesia, so you won’t feel much pain during the procedure. Following is the procedure:
  • The doctor will make an incision of around 5-15 millimeters in your abdominal area.
  • A small tube will be inserted to pump carbon dioxide. This is done to inflate the abdomen, so that the doctor can see the organs clearly.
  • A laparoscope is inserted through incision.
  • If laparoscopy is carried out for treatment purposes, the doctor may make further incisions and then he will proceed to treat the condition.
  • The carbon dioxide is removed and dressing is applied to the incision.
