Everything you need to know about laparoscopic treatment

Laparoscopy is a type of minimal access surgery that is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in the abdomen and pelvis.

Preparation and Procedure

Before a laparoscopy, you will undergo standard pre-operative testing. The procedure itself is performed under general anesthesia. We inflate the abdomen with a harmless gas to create a working space, allowing for clear visualization of the organs.

Recovery Expectations

Most laparoscopic procedures are done on an outpatient basis or require only a single overnight stay. You may experience mild discomfort in the shoulders (from the gas) and at the incision sites, but this resolves quickly. Full recovery is typically achieved within a few weeks.
