Welcome to Arka Anugraha Hospital‘s in-depth guide on laparoscopic surgery. As a renowned Center of Excellence in Hernia Surgery and Bariatric Surgery, our hospital is at the forefront of surgical innovation in India. This comprehensive guide aims to demystify laparoscopic surgery, explaining its many applications, benefits, and what patients can expect throughout the process.
Laparoscopic surgery, often referred to as “keyhole surgery,” is a minimally invasive surgical technique where small incisions are made to insert a laparoscope (a long, thin tube with a high-intensity light and camera at the front) and specialized surgical instruments. This approach enables surgeons to view the surgical site on a screen and perform intricate procedures without the need for large, open incisions.
Patients often resume normal activities within a few days.
Smaller incisions result in less tissue trauma and post-operative discomfort.
The smaller incisions lead to minimal and often barely noticeable scarring.
Smaller wounds are less susceptible to bacterial infections.
As a Center of Excellence in Hernia Surgery, we offer state-of-the-art laparoscopic procedures for various types of hernias, including inguinal, femoral, and hiatal hernias.
Our recognition as a Center of Excellence in Bariatric Surgery highlights our expertise in minimally invasive weight loss surgeries, such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.
