Laparoscopic SurgeryEmpowering People to Improve Their Lives
Laparoscopy means looking inside someone's abdomen through a small incision using a special camera (laparoscope). One would be put to sleep (general anesthesia) for this.
It is a newer and better way of performing surgery. small incisions are made through which special instruments are passed and the operation is carried out in a safe environment while looking at each move on the screen. This is done instead of the traditional method of cutting open the abdomen for the surgery.
Any surgery, which is done open, can be done laparoscopically depending on the surgeon' skills. At times, a surgeon can
suggest patients to have an open surgery if the patient is not fit for laparoscopic surgery or if open surgery has clear benefits.
Some of the surgeries performed are:
1. General Surgical Procedures
2. Advanced Surgeries
3. Gynaecological Procedures:
