Laparoscopy (Keyhole Surgery)

Advanced Surgical Care

Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Surgery

Laparoscopy is an advanced minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine and treat conditions inside the abdomen and pelvis with high precision. Commonly known as keyhole surgery, this technique allows surgeons to perform procedures without large cuts, ensuring safer and quicker recovery.

During laparoscopy, a specialised instrument called a laparoscope—a thin tube with a camera and light—is inserted through a small incision. The camera transmits clear images to a monitor, enabling the surgeon to operate accurately with minimal tissue damage.

Benefits of laparoscopic surgery include:

Smaller incisions with minimal scarring
Reduced pain and blood loss
Shorter hospital stay
Faster recovery and return to daily activities
Lower risk of complications compared to open surgery

Laparoscopy: Uses, Procedure & Safety

Laparoscopy provides effective surgical treatment using small incisions, resulting in less pain, fewer complications, and faster healing.

When Is Laparoscopy Used?

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the abdomen and pelvis. It allows doctors to view internal organs clearly and perform surgery with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.

Laparoscopy is commonly used for:

Gynaecology: Diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the female reproductive system
Gastroenterology: Evaluation and treatment of digestive system disorders
Urology: Diagnosis and management of urinary system conditions
Biopsy procedures: Removing tissue samples for further testing
Surgical treatment: Removing damaged or diseased organs or tissues

👉 Laparoscopy offers accurate diagnosis with minimal downtime and quicker healing.

How Is Laparoscopy Performed?

The procedure is done under general anaesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain
The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen
A laparoscope (thin camera) and surgical instruments are inserted
Carbon dioxide gas is gently introduced to improve visibility
After the procedure, the gas is released, incisions are closed with stitches, and dressings are applied

Most patients can return home the same day, though some may require an overnight hospital stay.

Is Laparoscopy Safe?

Laparoscopy is a commonly performed and safe procedure, with a low risk of complications when done by an experienced surgeon.

Minor complications (1–2% of cases) may include:

Mild infection
Minor bleeding or bruising at incision sites
Nausea or vomiting after anaesthesia

Rare but serious complications (about 1 in 1,000 cases) include:

Injury to organs such as the bowel or bladder
Damage to major blood vessels
Complications related to carbon dioxide gas
Allergic reaction to anaesthesia
Blood clots in the legs (DVT) or lungs (pulmonary embolism)
These complications are uncommon and can usually be managed effectively with prompt medical care.
