Laparoscopic Surgery in Pune - Minimum Scars, Fast Recovery, Least Pain
What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique. It uses small cuts instead of large incisions. A camera (laparoscope) is inserted to view inside the body. Special instruments help perform the surgery. It causes less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scars compared to open surgery.
How is Laparoscopic Surgery in Pune Done at Presize Clinic?
Laparoscopic surgery in Pune, as performed by Dr. Kedar Patil at Presize Clinic, is a modern surgical technique that uses small incisions and advanced camera-guided instruments to treat various abdominal conditions. It offers a less painful and faster recovery alternative to traditional open surgery.
Steps of Laparoscopic Surgery
Preoperative Preparation
- The patient undergoes necessary medical evaluations, including blood tests and imaging.
- Fasting is required for a few hours before the surgery.
- Anaesthesia is administered (usually general anaesthesia).
Making Small Incisions
- The surgeon makes a few small (0.5–1 cm) incisions in the abdominal area.
- A specialized needle (Veress needle) is sometimes used to inflate the abdomen with carbon dioxide gas for better visibility.
Inserting the Laparoscope
- A high-definition camera (laparoscope) is inserted through one of the incisions.
- The camera transmits real-time images to a monitor, guiding the surgeon throughout the procedure.
Inserting Surgical Instruments
- Small, specialized instruments are inserted through additional incisions to perform the necessary surgical procedure.
- These instruments are used for cutting, cauterizing, suturing, or removing affected tissue/organs.
Performing the Surgery
- The surgeon performs the required procedure, such as organ removal (e.g., gallbladder, appendix), repairing a hernia, or treating abdominal conditions.
Closure and Gas Removal
- After completing the procedure, the surgical instruments and laparoscope are removed.
- The carbon dioxide gas is released from the abdomen.
Incision Closure and Recovery
- The small incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches or surgical glue.
- The patient is monitored in the recovery room and later in the ward before being discharged ( depending on the procedure).
- Postoperative instructions are provided, including medications, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
This minimally invasive approach ensures faster recovery, less pain, and reduced hospital stay compared to traditional open surgery.
