Patient FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is laparoscopy?
The laparoscopic surgeon makes small cuts to perform the operation. It is different from conventional open surgery, where the cut is large. Laparoscopy is minimally invasive and allows a quick recovery.
How is it performed?
A laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen through a small incision. Its camera lets the gynaecologist or surgeon view the inside of the pelvis and abdomen on a monitor. Solutions are offered with advanced equipment through 5 mm cuts.
What are the benefits of laparoscopy?
- Less pain
- Aesthetic scars
- Fast recovery
- Least chance of adhesions and hernia
- Minimal hospital stay
Is it safe?
Laparoscopy is a very safe procedure and has become the patient's preference today.
What can be treated with laparoscopy?
Sunrays provides extensive laparoscopic treatment for:
- Uterine problems
- Hernia
- Appendicitis
- Gallbladder stones
What are the preparations before surgery?
- Do not eat anything from midnight before the day of surgery.
- A bowel-cleansing procedure is suggested for laparoscopic bowel surgery.
- If you have other health issues, consult the concerned specialist before the laparoscopic treatment.
What should I expect after surgery?
As with any operation, you will feel a little tired. You may experience bloating in the abdomen because of the carbon dioxide used in the procedure. The doctor will prescribe medication to ease pain from the cuts, and you will be given post-operative care and advice for a faster recovery.
