What Our Patients Say About Dr Amita : Laparoscopic Surgeon in Gurgaon
Frequently Asked Questions
What is laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, involves making small incisions in the abdomen to perform various procedures. A small instrument called a laparoscope is inserted through one of these incisions, allowing the surgeon to visualize the inside of the abdomen on a high-definition TV monitor. The laparoscope enables the surgeon to perform tasks such as taking tissue samples, removing diseased tissues, repairing organs, fixing hernias, and controlling bleeding.
How is laparoscopic surgery performed?
The surgery begins with a small incision (typically ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 cm in length) near your belly button, through which a telescope is inserted. Further small incisions are made for the surgical instruments. The Laparoscopic surgeon operates using these instruments while viewing the inside of your abdomen on a TV monitor.
Procedure:
Anaesthesia: Patient receives general anaesthesia.
Small Incisions: Small cuts (0.5 to 1.5 cm) are made in the abdomen.
Trocars Insertion: Hollow tubes (known as trocars) are placed into these incisions to create access points.
Laparoscope Insertion: A thin tube with a camera is inserted through one trocar to visualize the abdominal region on a monitor.
Surgical Instruments: Specialized tools are inserted through other trocars
What conditions can be treated with laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery can treat almost all gynaecological conditions, including fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancies, gallbladder disease, appendicitis, hernia repair, gastrointestinal disorders, urological conditions, obesity surgery, and even certain cancers like ovarian cancer.
What are the benefits of laparoscopic surgery?
The benefits include less post-operative pain, quicker recovery time, smaller scars, a lower risk of infection, and a reduced need for blood transfusions. Patients can return to their daily activities much faster compared to traditional open surgery.
Is laparoscopic surgery safe for removing large fibroids or cancers?
Yes, even large fibroids or cancers can be removed through laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic Surgeons use a special instrument called a morcellator to churn/break down the fibroids into bits, which can then be removed through the tiny incisions.
Are there any myths about laparoscopic surgery that I should be aware of?
Yes, some common myths include concerns about the surgery leaving part of the disease inside the abdomen and the cost being significantly higher than open surgery. In reality, the disease is seen magnified during the procedure, making it easier to remove completely. While laparoscopic surgery may have a higher upfront cost, it often leads to faster recovery and less time away from work, making it cost-effective in the long run.
How does laparoscopic surgery compare to open surgery in terms of recovery?
Laparoscopic surgery typically facilitates quicker recovery times compared to traditional open procedures. This translates to an earlier return to daily routines and work commitments, accompanied by reduced post-operative discomfort and minimal scarring.
Can all types of surgeries be performed laparoscopically?
Most gynaecological surgeries can be done laparoscopically, including myomectomy (removal of fibroids), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), and treatment of ovarian cysts and cancers. However, childbirth still requires either a C-section or normal delivery.
Is laparoscopic surgery more expensive than open surgery?
While the initial cost of laparoscopic surgery may be slightly higher, it is often more cost-effective in the long run due to faster recovery times, which means less time away from work and daily activities.
What should I expect during recovery from laparoscopic surgery?
After laparoscopic surgery, you can expect less pain and a quicker return to your daily activities compared to traditional open surgery. Most patients experience smaller scars and a lower risk of post-operative infection.
How long do you bleed after a laparoscopy for endometriosis?
It’s normal to experience vaginal bleeding up to one month after laparoscopy. Many women do not have their next normal menstrual cycle for four to six weeks after surgery. When your normal cycle returns, you should experience less bleeding and pain.
How long does endometriosis last after laparoscopic surgery?
It can take a week or more before you’re ready to return to your regular activities. You should be able to resume having sex within two to four weeks following the procedure, but check with your doctor first.
Will I lose weight after laparoscopy for endometriosis?
Having surgery to remove endometrial tissue that is growing outside of the uterus can help with pain and may reduce bloating. This, in turn, may help a person lose weight or look thinner.
