What is laparoscopic surgery And why is it preferred?

"You need to get the surgery done!" have you ever heard this dialogue told to you or your loved ones? It's a scary sentence that leads your mind to all the negative thoughts it can imagine. Whether it's a minor surgery or a major surgery, we always want to avoid it at all costs!

There are different conditions in which a patient needs to undergo surgery. It can be due to an accident where surgery is needed right away, or it could be due to an issue that can take time, where the patient gets a chance to decide the place, time, and surgeon to get operated on.

There are two types of surgeries conducted on a patient. One is an "Open surgery," where an incision of 6-12 inches is made and operated on the organs or tissues when there is a need for intervention in the working of the organ or tissue.

The other is a minimally invasive surgery, also known as laparoscopic surgery. A telescope or laparoscope, with a tiny camera, is inserted inside the incision. With the help of the camera, surgeons get real-time images on a high-definition screen, which they can use to perform operations similar to open surgery.

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery:

Procedure: The procedure is minimally invasive. It involves making small incisions, which helps in quick recovery.
Hospital Stay: Hospital stays would be short, and patients could have reduced overall healthcare costs.
Lower Risk: Laparoscopic Surgery has a lower risk in surgical procedures.
After Surgery: Less pain after surgery and quick recovery.
Surgical Precision: Laparoscopic Surgery helps surgeons use a camera and specialized instruments for better visibility, allowing surgeons to address each patient's concerns.

There is a good record of patients being positive towards laparoscopic surgery and the time to recover from surgery.

Laparoscopic is also used to diagnose and explore the source of abdominal or pelvic pain. They can look inside the body with the help of laparoscopic to understand the issue and decide whether surgery is required if other procedures like ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI cannot diagnose the symptoms and problem.

Depending upon the medical condition of a patient, laparoscopic surgery can be performed; some of the common surgeries performed by Dr. Rajesh Sinha are :

Laparoscopic cholesystectomy
Laparoscopic appendicectomy
Laparoscopic hernia repair
Laparoscopic surgery for liver, spleen, pancreas
Advanced laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery
Minimal access surgery for Anorectal diseases
Robotic surgery

Laparoscopic surgeries are getting very popular and advanced with the introduction of robotic-assisted surgeries. Robotic-assisted surgeries are done depending on the patient's condition. With robotic-assisted surgeries, there is a smaller incision, high precision concerning the use of the tools, and a high degree of flexibility.

Dr. Rajesh Sinha's expertise extends to minimally invasive procedures, including robotic surgery, where he holds the esteemed certification of FALS (Fellowship in Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery).
