Laparoscopic or “keyhole” surgery is one of the most advanced surgical techniques available at our hospital. This minimally
invasive approach uses small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments to perform complex procedures with high precision.
It reduces trauma to the body, lowers the risk of infection, and ensures faster recovery compared to traditional open surgeries.
With a dedicated team of experienced surgeons and fully equipped operation theatres, we offer a wide range of laparoscopic procedures
for abdominal, gynecological, and urological conditions. Patients benefit from shorter hospital stays, minimal scarring, and quicker
return to normal life, making laparoscopic surgery the preferred choice whenever possible.
List of Laparoscopic Procedures and Descriptions
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Lap. Cholecystectomy):-
This procedure involves the removal of the gallbladder using minimally invasive instruments. It is most commonly performed for patients
suffering from gallstones, gallbladder infections, or chronic inflammation that causes pain and digestive issues. The laparoscopic approach
allows the surgeon to work through small incisions, using a high-definition camera to ensure precision and safety.
Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy significantly reduces recovery time. Patients usually experience less postoperative pain,
minimal scarring, and can return to normal activities within a few days. It is considered the gold standard treatment for gallbladder disease worldwide.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy (Dia. Lap.):-
Diagnostic laparoscopy is performed when the cause of abdominal pain or infertility is unclear after routine tests such as ultrasound, CT, or blood
investigations. The surgeon inserts a laparoscope through a small incision to directly visualize the abdominal and pelvic organs. This makes it highly
effective in diagnosing conditions like endometriosis, adhesions, infections, or tumors.
One of the greatest benefits of diagnostic laparoscopy is that it can often be converted into a therapeutic procedure in the same sitting. For example,
if a cyst, adhesion, or ectopic pregnancy is detected, it can be treated immediately. This saves the patient from undergoing multiple surgeries.
Laparoscopic Appendectomy (Lap. Appendicectomy):-
This is the removal of the appendix using laparoscopic instruments. It is the preferred approach for acute appendicitis, a condition where the appendix
becomes inflamed and painful. Laparoscopy allows for a clearer view of the abdominal cavity and ensures a cleaner removal, reducing complications such as infection.
Recovery after laparoscopic appendectomy is much faster compared to the traditional open method. Patients often leave the hospital within 24–48 hours, with minimal
pain and small scars. It also allows earlier return to school, work, or daily life, making it especially suitable for young and active patients.
Varicocele – Laparoscopic Varix Ligation:-
Varicocele is a condition where the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged, leading to pain, swelling, and in some cases, infertility. Laparoscopic varix ligation
involves tying off these enlarged veins to restore normal blood flow and prevent further damage to the testicular tissue.
This minimally invasive approach is particularly beneficial for men seeking fertility improvement. It is associated with reduced postoperative discomfort, minimal
complications, and higher success rates in improving sperm quality compared to conventional open surgery.
Laparoscopic Sterilization (L.S.):-
Also known as laparoscopic tubal ligation, this is a permanent method of family planning for women. The surgeon seals or blocks the fallopian tubes using clips, rings,
or cauterization. Since it is performed through small keyhole incisions, the procedure is quick, safe, and highly effective.
Women who undergo laparoscopic sterilization can usually return home the same day. It avoids the risks and longer recovery associated with open tubal ligation, while
providing long-term protection against unplanned pregnancy without affecting hormones or menstrual cycles.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (Lap. Hysterectomy):-
This involves the removal of the uterus through laparoscopic techniques. It is recommended for conditions like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeding,
or certain cancers. By using small incisions, surgeons can safely remove the uterus while minimizing tissue damage.
The laparoscopic approach reduces hospital stay and speeds up recovery compared to traditional hysterectomy. Patients usually experience less blood loss, smaller scars,
and a quicker return to normal activities, making it a preferred option for many women.
Laparoscopic Tubectomy (Lap. Tubectomy):-
This is a sterilization procedure where both fallopian tubes are blocked or cut to prevent pregnancy. It is performed laparoscopically to minimize trauma
and ensure a quick, safe recovery. The procedure is permanent and highly effective in preventing conception.
Women undergoing laparoscopic tubectomy generally require only a short hospital stay and are able to resume normal activities within a few days. Because it does not interfere
with hormonal balance, it has no impact on a woman’s overall health or menstrual cycles.
Laparoscopic Salpingo-Oophorectomy (Lap. Salpingo-Oophorectomy):-
This procedure involves removing one or both ovaries along with the fallopian tubes. It is performed for conditions like ovarian cysts, tumors, chronic pelvic infections,
or as a preventive measure in high-risk cancer patients. The laparoscopic method offers greater precision while preserving surrounding structures.
Patients benefit from smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery. Depending on the condition, fertility-preserving approaches may also
be discussed with the patient before surgery.
Laparoscopic Salpingectomy – Ectopic Pregnancy:-
When a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus, it causes an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life-threatening. Laparoscopic salpingectomy removes
the affected fallopian tube to prevent complications such as rupture and internal bleeding.
This minimally invasive procedure allows faster recovery and preserves fertility whenever possible. In some cases, the unaffected fallopian tube may remain intact, giving the
patient a chance of natural pregnancy in the future.
Laparoscopic Myomectomy (Lap. Myomectomy):-
Myomectomy is the surgical removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. It is recommended for women with symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, infertility,
or pelvic pain. Using laparoscopy, surgeons can remove fibroids with minimal trauma.
This technique is particularly beneficial for women wishing to retain fertility, as it allows the uterus to be preserved. Recovery is faster compared to open myomectomy, and
hospital stay is typically much shorter.
Hysteroscopic Polypectomy:-
This procedure involves inserting a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix to remove polyps from the uterine lining. It is recommended for women with abnormal
uterine bleeding or infertility caused by polyps. Since it requires no incisions, it is highly safe and minimally invasive.
Patients benefit from same-day discharge, very little discomfort, and quick return to normal activities. Removing polyps improves fertility potential and relieves
symptoms like heavy or irregular bleeding.
Undescended Testis – Laparoscopic Surgery (U.D.T. Lap.):-
In boys with undescended testis, laparoscopic surgery helps locate and reposition the testis into the scrotum. This condition, if left untreated, may affect fertility
and increase the risk of testicular cancer later in life. The laparoscopic approach allows accurate diagnosis and safe correction.
Children recover quickly after the procedure, with minimal scarring and discomfort. Early surgical intervention is essential for preserving fertility and ensuring normal
development of the testis.
