A Specialised Center for Laparoscopic Treatment in Kochi

Laparoscopic is an effective procedure to treat certain conditions such as hernia, gallbladder stones, appendicitis, etc. This procedure is also known as keyhole surgery due to the minute size of incisions involved. The surgeon uses a long, thin instrument called a laparoscope which is attached to a high-resolution camera on the other end. The camera provides live images of the organs and tissues in the abdomen. The surgeon locates the epicenter of the disease via an external monitor and operates with high precision.

• The general surgeon recommends laparoscopic surgery due to its advanced approach, faster recovery, and minimally invasive nature. Moreover, laparoscopic surgery is performed with extreme precision to reduce the chances of infections and obtain the best results. Here are the steps involved-
• The anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia to help the patient fall asleep. This ensures a minimal pain procedure.
• Next, the surgeon makes small incisions, similar to the size of a keyhole, and inserts a medical device called a laparoscope.
• The general surgeon inflates the abdomen with gas to allow the passage of instruments without harming the abdominal wall.
• A laparoscope provides live images of the organs and tissues in the abdomen and guides the surgeon through the procedure.
• The surgeon locates the disease and treats it accordingly, and the wound is shut using surgical sutures.
• Sometimes, the abdominal wall may lose strength due to several factors such as multiple pregnancies, excess strain in the abdomen, etc. In that case, the surgeon uses a medical device called a surgical mesh to add extra strength to the abdominal wall and prevent the recurrence of disease in the future.

Laparoscopic surgery is a daycare surgery that means the patient can go home within 24 hours after the surgery. It is an advanced procedure to treat diseases related to the abdomen with high precision and a high success rate. Some of the advantages of laparoscopic treatment for different diseases are:-

• Small incision, similar to the size of a keyhole
• Negligible pain during the procedure
• Minimal blood loss
• Almost no post-operative scars
• Short hospital stays
• Faster recovery
• Almost no chances of recurrence
• Reduced risk of infections
• Resume work within a week

The recovery time can differ depending on the medical condition of the patient and the type of laparoscopic surgery. The patient usually takes around one to two weeks to fully recover after the surgery. Here is what you can expect after your laparoscopic surgery at home:

• The patient may feel moderate pain in the areas around the incisions. However, pain and discomfort should improve within a few days.
• Sometimes, the gas used to inflate the abdomen during the procedure can remain inside in small amounts causing bloating, cramps, or shoulder pains.

However, these symptoms do not last for more than one or two days after your body has absorbed the remaining gas.
