Laparoscopic Surgeries
Laparoscopic Surgeries
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, which examines the
internal organs of the abdomen and it is known as diagnostic laparoscopy. In this
procedure, only small incisions are required, and it's low-risk. The abdominal organs are viewed
with the help of a laparoscope during laparoscopy. Laparoscopic instruments are
long, thin tubes with a bright light and a high-definition camera at their
ends. Incisions are made in the abdominal wall to insert the instruments. Video
images are sent to a monitor as the camera moves along.
With laparoscopic surgery, your doctor can see inside your body in real-time without opening it up. The procedure can also enable your doctor to take a biopsy sample. Surgical expertise at BirthRight Hospitals is minimally invasive and laparoscopic. As a leader in laparoscopic procedures, our surgeons adopt the latest technologies so patients have a comfortable, painless, and precise experience. The doctors at birthRight Hospitals with thier multidisciplinary approach determine the cause of the conditions and devise suitable methods ensuring the safety of the patients.
What is the purpose of Laparoscopy?
To identify and treat pelvic or abdominal pathology, laparoscopic procedures are often performed. The procedure is usually used when non-invasive methods fail to diagnose a condition.
During a laparoscopy, very rarely
one may experience risks, such as experiencing bleeding, infection, and damage
to your organs. You should keep an eye out for signs of infection after your
procedure. Call your doctor immediately if you experience:
1.
Fevers
2.
Abdominal
ache
3.
Chills
4.
Redness,
Swelling, Bleeding, Or Drainage where incisions were made
5.
Nausea
6.
Vomiting
7.
Persistent
Cough
8.
Shortness of
Breath
9.
Inability to
Urinate
10. Light-Headedness
While laparoscopy is relatively safe,
it comes with a small chance of organ damage. The puncture of an organ may lead
to the release of blood and other fluids. The damage needs to be repaired by
another surgery.
The following risks are less common:
1. Anaesthesia-related complications.
2.
An
infection of the abdominal wall.
3.
Your
pelvis, legs, or lungs can be affected by a blood clot.
Occasionally, your surgeon may
believe that a minimally invasive technique is not worth the risks associated
with laparoscopy. Prior abdominal procedures are more likely to cause this
problem since adhesions can form between abdominal structures when a patient
has had previous abdominal surgery. It takes much longer and is more
likely to cause organ injury when performing laparoscopy with adhesions.
What is the procedure for
laparoscopy?
Usually, laparoscopic procedures are performed as day- care procedure(It means your surgery will take place the same day, so you
can leave the same day) or inpatient procedure..
For this type of surgery, general anaesthesia is likely to be administered. In other words, you won't feel any pain during the procedure and can sleep through it. A vein in your arm is inserted with an intravenous line to achieve general anaesthesia. In addition to administering fluids and giving medications via the IV, your anaesthesiologist can provide hydration.
A laparoscopic procedure involves a
surgeon making a small incision below your belly button and inserting a small
tube called a cannula. With the help of the cannula, carbon dioxide gas is
inflated in your abdomen. That allows your physician to better examine your
abdomen.
An incision is made through which
the laparoscope is inserted once the abdomen has been inflated. Your organs can
be viewed in real-time on the screen, thanks to the camera attached to the
laparoscope.
According to your surgeon, the
number and size of incisions will depend on the specific disease being
confirmed or ruled out. A typical procedure involves between one and four
incisions, each between 0.5cms -1cms long. Other
instruments are then inserted through this
incision.
The instruments are removed following the procedure. Following that, an incision is usually tapped up or occasionally stitched. If necessary, bandages may be applied.
