Laparoscopic Surgery
A specialized technique for performing surgery is laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure. Laparoscopic surgery in Kolkata is common nowadays for gallbladder surgery, hernia surgery, bariatric surgery and intestinal surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon makes several incisions of 0.5-1 cm in size. A trocar, which is a tubular instrument, is inserted through each port. After that, the surgeon inserts a laparoscope, which is a special tube with a light and camera, and specialized instruments through the trocars. In most cases, the surgeon uses carbon dioxide gas to inflate the abdomen for properly viewing the area. There are high-resolution video monitors in the operating room. The surgeon can view the images sent by the laparoscope on the monitor while performing the procedure.

Laparoscopic surgery has become the method of choice for performing a majority of abdominal surgeries like gall bladder surgery, hernia surgery, weight loss surgery, cancer surgeries for colon & rectum, and other gastrointestinal surgeries. Gone are the days of large incisions of open surgery where the patients used to be bed-ridden for days before recovery.
