All About General Laparoscopic Surgery

Overview of General Laparoscopic Surgery

Treatments & Services

Laparoscopic surgery, also called diagnostic laparoscopic surgery, is a method to examine the organs inside the abdomen.

It is a minimally invasive surgery and a low-risk surgery that only requires small incisions to perform the surgery. Through these small incisions, a surgeon can examine and look at the organs by using a device called a laparoscope.

The first thing that comes in our mind after hearing the word surgery is pain, blood and wounds. But, don’t worry, not all the surgeries are painful and involves blood loss. Thanks to the advancement in the medical science that laparoscopy surgeries came in.

During a laparoscopy surgery, a surgeon makes a small incision near the belly button. Through this incision, he inserts a laparoscope, with the help of which high-resolution images can be seen on the video monitor. The incisions made cause no pain and very less blood loss. The images that are formed helps a surgeon to know about the exact underlying problem.

Laparoscopy has many benefits over open surgery in cases like splenectomy, cholecystectomy and esophageal surgery. It is a completely safe and quick surgery in which deep tissue heals within two months. The patient gets discharged on the same day sometimes and even the scars heal quickly.

Laparoscopic Procedures

There are various conditions in which laparoscopy may be required. Some of these medical conditions are:

1. Hernia Surgery - Hernia is a condition in which any organ or any tissue protrudes or bulge through the abdominal wall. A hernia is of many types, but the most common type is the abdomen or groin. It can be seen when the organ or tissue bulges out of the skin and the area swells. A hernia also results in pain. Now in the need of a surgery, technology like laparoscopy has eliminated the need of making big incisions and doing open surgery. With the help of laparoscopic surgery, a hernia can be treated with small incisions.
2. Appendectomy - It is a surgical procedure to remove an infected appendix. Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix gets infected because of some viral infection in the digestive tract. Now, with the help of laparoscopic surgery, a number of incisions are made and with the help of some instruments, the infected appendix is removed.
3. Anti-Reflux Surgery - It is a surgery that is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. This is a surgery used in cases when medicines don't work. In this surgery, small incisions are made and an effective valve mechanism is used at the bottom of the esophagus. This surgery prevents the acid reflux from flowing up from the stomach to the esophagus.
4. Gallbladder Removal - A gallbladder produces bile to absorb the food nutrients. When a small crystal becomes enlarged, they can block the flow of bile juice and result in gallbladder diseases. With the help of laparoscopic surgery, a gallbladder can be removed with inserting small tools through a single incision.
