Frequently asked questions
What is keyhole or laparoscopic surgery?
It is a minimally invasive surgical technique where procedures are performed through small incisions using a camera and fine instruments, reducing trauma to the body.
Can major surgeries be done laparoscopically?
Yes. Many abdominal surgeries, and even selected cancer procedures, can be safely performed using laparoscopic techniques.
What are the main benefits compared to open surgery?
Patients experience less pain, smaller wounds, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays.
