Laparoscopy Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical approach that uses small incisions to access and treat a wide range of medical conditions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. At CITI Hospital, we are dedicated to providing high-quality care through this advanced technique, which offers patients a faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.

What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery involves making a few small cuts (often less than 1 cm) in the abdomen. Through these incisions, a thin tube with a camera, called a laparoscope, is inserted, allowing the surgical team to view detailed, real-time images of the internal organs on a screen. This precise visualization enables surgeons to operate with high accuracy while minimizing tissue impact.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery

Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery provides several key benefits:

• Minimal Scarring: Small incisions lead to smaller, less noticeable scars.
• Reduced Pain: Patients generally experience less discomfort after surgery.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients enjoy a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal activities.
• Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller incisions reduce the chance of infection and postoperative complications.
• Enhanced Precision: The detailed visuals provided by the laparoscope allow for accurate and controlled procedures.
