Welcome to the Laparoscopic Surgery Department! We understand that you may have some questions about the treatments offered in our department. Here is some information to help you understand what is included in our laparoscopic surgery treatments:

What is Laparoscopic Surgery? Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a surgical technique that involves using small incisions and specialized instruments to perform procedures internally. It is a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery and offers several benefits, such as reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.

Types of Laparoscopic Surgery: Our department offers a wide range of laparoscopic surgical treatments, including:

1. Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy): This procedure is performed to remove the gallbladder, typically due to gallstones or gallbladder inflammation.

2. Hernia Repair: Laparoscopic hernia repair involves the placement of a mesh to repair a hernia, which is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weak spot in the abdominal wall.

3. Appendectomy: This procedure involves the removal of the appendix, usually due to appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix.

4. Gynecological Surgeries: Laparoscopic surgery can be used for various gynecological procedures such as hysterectomy, ovarian cyst removal, endometriosis treatment, and tubal ligation.

5. Bariatric Surgery: Certain weight loss surgeries, such as gastric bypass or gastric sleeve, can be performed using laparoscopic techniques to help patients with severe obesity.

6. Colorectal Surgeries: Laparoscopic surgery can be used for conditions such as colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

7. Liver and Pancreatic Surgeries: Some liver and pancreatic procedures, including tumor removal or cyst drainage, can be performed laparoscopically.
