A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
Multiple small incisions, typically 5-10mm in length, are made in the abdominal wall instead of one large incision used in traditional open surgery.
Specialized ports or trocars are inserted through the incisions to allow passage of surgical instruments and the laparoscope with its camera system.
Carbon dioxide gas is carefully introduced into the abdominal cavity to create a working space and provide clear visualization of internal organs.
Using specialized instruments and high-definition camera guidance, the surgeon performs the necessary repair, resection, or reconstruction with precision and minimal tissue trauma.
After completing the procedure, instruments are removed, gas is released, and small incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue, resulting in minimal scarring.

What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.
First 24-48 hours involve monitoring in hospital, initiation of clear liquids, early walking to prevent complications, and pain management with minimal medication requirements.
First 1-2 weeks focus on gradual increase in activity, advancing diet as tolerated, wound care, and avoiding heavy lifting while incisions heal with minimal discomfort.
Weeks 3-6 involve return to normal activities including work, resumption of regular diet, complete wound healing with barely visible scars, and restoration of full physical function.
Small incisions result in barely visible scars that fade significantly over time, providing excellent cosmetic outcomes compared to large incisions of traditional surgery.
Patients typically return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks compared to 6-8 weeks with open surgery, with reduced pain and shorter hospital stays.
Lower risk of wound infections, hernias, and adhesions due to smaller incisions and less tissue trauma, resulting in improved overall surgical safety.
Successful resolution of gastrointestinal symptoms with minimal disruption to daily life, allowing patients to return to work and activities sooner with enhanced satisfaction.
