How Is It Done?

Laparoscopic surgery is done under general anesthesia and it uses a special fiber optic instrument called laparoscope, the abdomen is distended with Co2 by insufflator after which a cannula is inserted to introduce the laparoscope in abdomen through a small incision, attached to a camera. This allows the surgeon to look inside your abdominal and pelvic cavity which is visualized on a video screen, without disturbing the normal anatomical relations inside the body.

Diseases can also be corrected in the same sitting by inserting additional surgical instruments through other tiny incisions. You can have 3-4 tiny incisions while undergoing laparoscopy. Once the procedure is completed, all instruments are removed, incisions are closed and the area is covered with small bandages.

It is possible to record the whole surgery for future references.
