Laparoscopic surgery, also known as “Keyhole Surgery” or “Minimally Invasive Surgery”, involves performing surgery through small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments.
It is a surgical technique where a surgeon makes small incisions (less than 1 cm) in the abdomen and inserts a thin, lighted tube called a laparoscope, which contains a camera, to visualize the internal organs.
If you are worried or know anyone who require laparoscopic surgery, consult Dr.Shashank or visit Maa hospitals in Hyderabad.
How It works?
The surgeon uses specialized instruments, passed through the small incisions, to manipulate, cut, and sew tissues, while watching the images transmitted from the laparoscope on a monitor.
What are its benefits?
- Precision: Lasers can make very precise cuts and can be used to remove tissue with high accuracy.
- Reduced Tissue Damage: Laser surgery can cause less damage to surrounding tissues compared to traditional surgical tools.
- Faster Healing: Patients may experience faster healing times and less pain and scarring after laser surgery.
- Outpatient Procedures: Many laser surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients don’t need to stay overnight in the hospital.
Few examples of laser surgeries:
A fistula is an abnormal connection between two body parts, such as organs or blood vessels, often occurring in areas like the anal region (anal fistula). A fissure, on the other hand, is a small tear or crack in the skin or lining of an organ, commonly found in the anal canal (anal fissure), causing pain and bleeding. Laser treatment offers a minimally invasive approach for treating anal fistulas and fissures, using controlled heat energy to target and heal the affected tissues, potentially reducing pain and promoting faster recovery compared to traditional surgery
I. Laser Fistula & Fissure Treatment
Hemorrhoidectomy, or piles surgery, is a surgical procedure to remove hemorrhoids, which are swollen veins in the anus and rectum, and is typically performed when other treatments fail or hemorrhoids are severe. It’s considered when conservative treatments like lifestyle changes or topical medications don’t work, or when hemorrhoids are large, cause significant bleeding, or are prolapsed (protruding from the anus).
II. Hemorrhoidectomy (Piles Surgery)
Laser treatment, specifically Endo Venous Laser Ablation (EVLA), is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to heat and seal varicose veins, causing them to close off and eventually fade, with blood flow rerouted to healthier veins. EVLA involves a small incision and insertion of a thin laser fiber into the affected vein.
