Diagnostic & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery, often called Keyhole Surgery, is a modern surgical technique where operations are performed through small incisions using a laparoscope — a thin, lighted tube fitted with a camera. This allows surgeons to view internal organs on a high-definition screen, perform accurate diagnostics, and carry out complex surgeries without the need for large incisions. It is widely used for both diagnosis and treatment of abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic conditions.
At our surgical unit, we are proud to offer specialized Diagnostic & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery services, providing patients with safe, precise, and minimally invasive solutions for a wide range of medical conditions.

Common Conditions Treated

Laparoscopic Surgery is used for diagnosing and treating:

  • Gallbladder stones / Cholecystitis

  • Appendicitis

  • Hernia (Inguinal, Umbilical, Hiatal, Incisional)

  • Endometriosis

  • Ovarian cysts

  • Ectopic pregnancy

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

  • Diverticulitis

  • Colorectal conditions

  • Liver and pancreas lesions

  • Adhesions and unexplained abdominal pain

Symptoms That May Require Diagnostic Laparoscopy

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, diagnostic laparoscopy may be advised to determine the underlying cause:

  • Chronic or severe abdominal pain

  • Persistent bloating or abdominal swelling

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Irregular menstrual cycles or pelvic pain (for women)

  • Gastrointestinal disturbances

  • Hernia bulges or discomfort

  • Recurring nausea or vomiting

Precautions & Prevention

While laparoscopic surgery is mainly a treatment, early detection of issues can sometimes reduce the need for surgical intervention. Prevention strategies include:

  • Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet

  • Regular physical exercise

  • Routine health check-ups and abdominal scans

  • Managing chronic conditions (like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity)

  • Avoiding excessive alcohol, smoking, and processed foods

  • Monitoring menstrual health in women

Early diagnosis and prompt action can prevent complications and improve surgical outcomes.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery Over Traditional Surgery

  • Minimally Invasive: Small 0.5-1 cm incisions reduce trauma to the body.

  • Faster Recovery Time: Patients usually experience shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities.

  • Less Postoperative Pain: Minimal tissue damage leads to significantly reduced discomfort after surgery.

  • Lower Risk of Infection: Small incisions mean less exposure, reducing infection risk.

  • Better Cosmetic Results: Tiny scars compared to large open-surgery scars.

  • Improved Surgical Accuracy: High-definition camera systems give surgeons clear, magnified views.

  • Reduced Blood Loss: Less invasive techniques mean less bleeding during the procedure.
