Welcome to Arka Anugraha Hospital’s in-depth guide to laparoscopic surgery. We pride ourselves on being one of the very few hospitals in India to be recognized as a Center of Excellence in Hernia Surgery and Bariatric Surgery. In this comprehensive guide, we aim to demystify laparoscopic surgery, shedding light on its numerous applications, benefits, and what patients can expect before, during, and after the procedure.
Laparoscopic surgery, often referred to as “keyhole surgery,” is a minimally invasive surgical technique that employs small incisions 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.
Quick Recovery: Laparoscopic procedures generally allow for quicker recovery times, often enabling patients to resume their normal activities within days.
Reduced Pain: Smaller incisions result in less tissue trauma, reducing post-operative pain.
Minimal Scarring: Because of the smaller incisions, scarring is minimal and often barely noticeable.
Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller wounds are less susceptible to bacterial infections.
Hernia Surgery: 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.
Bariatric Surgery: Our recognition as a Center of Excellence in Bariatric Surgery underscores our expertise in minimally invasive weight loss surgeries such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.
