Laparoscopy: Leading Treatment for Faster Recovery

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions to insert a laparoscope, a flexible tube with a camera to view and treat internal organs. This procedure offers significant benefits over traditional surgery, including faster recovery times and less pain. Dr. Saurabh Phadnis in London provides expert laparoscopy treatments for conditions such as gallbladder issues, hernias, and endometriosis, ensuring efficient care with minimal discomfort.

Laparoscopic Surgery

What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy involves the use of small incisions to insert a laparoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached to it. This allows the surgeon to view the inside of the body on a screen. It’s effective in treating:

  • Endometriosis
  • Gallbladder issues
  • Appendicitis
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Hernias

Benefits of Laparoscopy 

  • Minimally Invasive: Small incisions reduce scarring and the risk of infection.

  • Faster Recovery: Most patients return to daily activities within 1–2 weeks.

  • Less Pain: Smaller incisions mean less post-operative pain.

  • Reduced Hospital Stay: Many procedures are outpatient, allowing patients to go home the same day.

What to Expect During Laparoscopy?

  • Pre-Surgery Preparation:

    You’ll receive specific instructions.

  • The Procedure:

    You’ll be given anesthesia. Small incisions are made to insert the laparoscope and surgical instruments. The surgeon monitors the procedure and performs the surgery.
