Laparoscopic surgery, also referred to as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery or band-aid surgery, is an advanced procedure involving the assistance of a video camera and several slender instruments. During a laparoscopic surgery in Kolkata, small incisions of 5 to 6 mm are made and plastic or metal tubes called ports are placed through these incisions. The camera, cold light source and the instruments are then introduced through the ports, which allow access and movement control inside of the patient’s abdominal area.
The camera transmits the live feed of the organs inside the abdomen onto a television monitor. The video camera becomes a surgeon’s eyes during a laparoscopic surgery in Kolkata, since the surgeon uses the image from the video camera positioned inside the patient’s body to perform the procedure.
Benefits of minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedures are:
- Less post-operative discomfort
- Quicker recovery time
- Shorter hospital stays
- Earlier resuming of activities
- Much smaller scars
In short, it is the best way to undergo a surgery.
At present, we offer several types of laparoscopic surgeries at the Digestive Surgery Clinic. Although the approach of the procedures is different, the aim is same – facilitating the best results in a least-invasive manner. Here are some modern approaches that we categorize under laparoscopic surgery.
