Laparoscopic & Minimal Access Surgery

Our Team

Minimal access surgery also known as laparoscopy surgery is a means of performing surgeries through a small (keyhole) incision instead of large cuts. During the surgery, the surgeons introduce a telescope with a tiny video camera through the small incision to the targeted part of the body and operate it by viewing it on a high-resolution TV monitor. In traditional open surgery, Surgeons are unable to see the targeted part without making a large incision or cuts. Some minimal access surgeries at our hospital are done with robot technology which provides a magnified 3D view of the surgical site and helps the surgeons operate with precision, control, and flexibility. Broadly, minimal access techniques may be categorized as: 

  • Laparoscopy Telescope used to operate abdomen
  • Thoracoscopy Telescope used to operate chest
  • Arthroscopy – Telescope used to operate joint

Minimal access surgery has huge advantages over traditional open surgeries. Open surgery requires a large incision, disrupting many other nerves, more bleeding, more painful, long stay in the hospital, and complications post-surgery remain for several months while with minimal access surgery these issues are almost non-existent now. 

Patients who go through minimal access surgery experience less pain, less bleeding, less scarring, and shorter stay in the hospital. The surgery helps in the faster and early recovery of patients and can resume their routine work in no time.

What is Bariatric (weight loss) Surgery?

Bariatric (weight loss) Surgery:

Diet and Exercise often fail to treat people with extreme and excessive obesity effectively. Bariatric /weight loss/obesity surgery is performed to help such individuals lose weight. Bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) aims to restrict food intake due to hormonal effects and decrease the absorption of food in the stomach and intestines. A reduction in the amount of calorie absorbed enables patients to lose weight and reduce obesity-related health risks like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, infertility problem, sleeping disorders and more. Study suggests that bariatric surgery may lower death rates for patients suffering from severe obesity, especially when combined with healthy eating and lifestyle after surgery. The cost of the weight loss surgery is very less compared to America and Europe, even though the treatment offered is same and meets the global standard.

Types of Bariatric Surgeries:-

Various types of bariatric surgeries can be performed. Most bariatric surgeries are laparoscopic these days compared to open surgery as it requires less extensive cuts, causes relatively minimal tissue damage, leads to minimal post-operative complications, and allow early discharge from the hospital.

Three types of operations are:-

  • Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG)
  • Mini gastric bypass
  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)/Gastric bypass surgery

Who requires Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery is not suggested to every patient who is severely overweight. A patient has to meet some medical guidelines to qualify for weight-loss surgery. These include:

  • Body Mass Index is 37 or higher (extreme obesity).
  • BMI is 32 to 36.5(obesity), and have serious weight-related health issues, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or severe sleep apnea(a sleep disorder that happens when a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep). In some cases, a patient may qualify for certain weight-loss surgery if BMI is <32 and you have serious weight-related health disorders.

Which type of Bariatric Surgery is best for you?

It depends on your specific situation. Doctors take many factors into account, including body mass index (BMI), eating habits, other health disorders, any previous surgeries, and the risk factors involved with each procedure.

Diet post-bariatric Surgery:-

Post- surgery, the patient generally is on specific diet for a week. The diet generally begins with liquid diets and then followed by soft foods and regular food.

Benefits of Bariatric Surgery:-

  • Heart disease
