Laparoscopy

About Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy Services at Nano Hospitals offer minimally invasive surgical procedures that allow doctors to diagnose and treat conditions inside the abdomen and pelvis using small incisions. With the help of a laparoscope — a thin instrument with a camera and light — surgeons can perform complex surgeries with greater precision, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Overview

Laparoscopy is a surgical technique where small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert a camera and specialized instruments. The camera projects high-definition images onto a monitor, guiding surgeons during the procedure.

At Nano Hospitals, laparoscopy is used for procedures such as gallbladder removal, appendix surgery, hernia repair, gynecological surgeries, and diagnostic evaluations of abdominal pain.

Workflow

How Laparoscopy Services Work

Step 1: Pre-Surgical Assessment
Doctors evaluate the patient through physical examination, imaging tests, and lab investigations to determine suitability for laparoscopic surgery.

Step 2: Anesthesia and Preparation
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The abdomen is cleaned and prepared under sterile conditions.

Step 3: Small Incisions
Tiny incisions are made to insert the laparoscope and surgical instruments.

Step 4: Internal Visualization and Surgery
Carbon dioxide gas is used to gently inflate the abdomen, creating space for clear visibility and safe surgical movement.

Step 5: Procedure Completion and Closure
After the surgery, instruments are removed, and the small incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue.

Step 6: Recovery
Patients are monitored post-surgery and usually experience quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
