Conditions We Treat
From common surgical concerns to complex conditions, our team provides evaluation, treatment planning, and personalised care to help patients make informed decisions about their health.
Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is a modern surgical technique that allows doctors to perform procedures through small incisions with the help of a camera and specialised instruments. It can be a suitable option for many patients after proper evaluation by a laparoscopic surgeon.
What Is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure where a thin camera (laparoscope) is inserted through small openings to view and treat the affected area. The surgeon uses specialised instruments while viewing the internal structures on a monitor, allowing precise surgical care.
Benefits Over Open Surgery
Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic procedures may offer several benefits for suitable patients, including smaller incisions, reduced scarring, less post-operative discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. The right approach depends on the condition, overall health, and surgeon’s recommendation.
Which Procedures Can Be Done Laparoscopically?
Many common abdominal procedures can be performed using laparoscopic techniques, including gallbladder stone surgery, hernia repair, appendix operation, and some other gastrointestinal surgeries. The surgeon will assess your condition to determine whether keyhole surgery is an appropriate option for you.
