When a doctor mentions the word “surgery,” the first images that often come to mind are large incisions, weeks of bed rest, and significant pain. However, medical advancement has introduced a game-changer: Laparoscopic Surgery.
“Understanding the difference between traditional methods and modern techniques is the first step toward a stress-free recovery.” — Dr. Shubham Gupta
What Exactly is Laparoscopy? (The “Keyhole” Advantage)
Open Surgery
The traditional way involves a single, large incision (6 to 10 inches). This disrupts more muscle and skin tissue, leading to longer healing times and visible scarring.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Often called “Keyhole Surgery,” using 3 to 4 tiny incisions (half-inch). High-intensity lights and cameras allow for extreme precision.
Why Choose Laparoscopy?
Smaller incisions mean less damage to the abdominal wall, translating to less post-operative pain and less need for heavy medication.
Return home within 24–48 hours. Whether you are a professional or a homemaker, you can get back to your routine much faster.
Magnified views (up to 20x) help avoid damaging surrounding tissues, resulting in less blood loss and lower infection risks.
Say goodbye to large permanent scars. These tiny sites often become nearly invisible once healed.

- Fasting for 6–8 hours.
