Surgical treatment used to mean large abdominal incisions, significant post-operative pain, extended hospital stays, and lengthy recovery periods. Thanks to advances in minimally invasive surgery, many abdominal operations are now performed laparoscopically.

At Saroja Multispeciality Hospital in Nalasopara East, our Laparoscopic Surgery Unit performs keyhole procedures with high precision inside sterile Modular OTs.

What is Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery involves performing operations inside the abdomen or pelvis through small keyhole incisions (5mm to 10mm). A tiny high-definition camera (laparoscope) projects magnified video onto monitors, allowing surgeons to operate with specialized micro-instruments.

Key Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery Over Traditional Open Surgery

• Significantly Less Post-Operative Pain: Small incisions cause minimal muscle trauma, reducing dependency on pain medications.
• Minimal Scarring: Incisions leave tiny, barely visible marks compared to long open surgical scars.
• Faster Hospital Discharge: Patients typically return home within 24 to 48 hours.
• Reduced Risk of Wound Infection: Internal tissue exposure to ambient air is minimized, dramatically lowering infection rates.
• Quicker Return to Daily Work: Recovery time is reduced from weeks to just several days.

Post-Surgical Recovery Tips

Follow your surgeon's instructions, eat light fiber-rich meals, engage in gentle walking to prevent deep vein thrombosis, and keep incision sites clean and dry.
