Department of General & Laparoscopic Surgery

It is a minimally invasive procedure.

• The surgeon may recommend some invasive procedures such as colonoscopy, endoscopy, or hysteroscopy, or non-invasive imaging tests like complete blood count (CBC), blood liver enzyme tests, blood chemistry tests, electrocardiogram (EKG), and chest X-ray.
• The doctor may advise you to stop taking blood-thinning medications and antihistamines.
• You will be instructed not to eat or drink anything starting from the night before the surgery.
• Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to be taken before the procedure, depending on the type of surgery.

The additional types of minimally invasive surgery are:

• Laparoscopy: A telescope is used for the abdomen, known as laparoscopic surgery.
• Thoracoscopy: A telescope is used for the chest, known as thoracoscopy.
• Arthroscopy: A telescope is used for joints, known as arthroscopy.
• Stapler hemorrhoidectomy: A minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of piles.
• Endoscopic hernia surgery: For the treatment of various types of hernias.

• Anaesthesia: Most minimal access surgeries at ANS Super Speciality Hospital are conducted under general anaesthesia. However, some procedures may be performed using local anaesthesia.
• Incision: A small incision is made to insert a camera, which provides enhanced visibility of the surgical area. Additional incisions may be necessary to accommodate other instruments. A device is used through the incision to inflate the area, improving the surgeon's access to the surgical site.
• Closure: After completing the procedure, the incision is closed using staples and sutures.

The patient might need to schedule a follow-up appointment at the hospital 1-2 weeks after the surgery.
