SCARLESS LAPAROSCOPIC PROCEDURE AT SHIVAM ORTHO & GENERAL HOSPITAL

Laparoscopic surgery is also called minimally invasive surgery. It is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed far from their location through small incisions.

Due to improved patient outcomes, in the last two decades, laparoscopic surgery has been adopted by various surgical sub-specialties including gastrointestinal surgery (including bariatric procedures for morbid obesity), gynaecologic surgery, and urology.

ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS OF LAPAROSCOPY

• Less pain
• The patient recovers faster (24 – 48 hrs.) and can resume to work within few days.
• No postoperative rest required
• No/Small scars on the abdomen
• No chances of wound infection
• No chances of post-operative hernias and adhesions
• Apart from these benefits, patients also will have immense long-term benefits.
