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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
