Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery, a modern, less invasive approach to surgery, also called a keyhole surgery, enables a surgeon to make small incisions in the body during complex procedures to maintain the threshold of minimal invasive surgery through the usage of a camera and other dedicated surgical tools. This novel method reduces physical traumatization to the organism leading to quicker healing, the lack of pain after the operation and scars that are smaller than after the standard open surgery.

Our trained and qualified surgeons have the best available technology that will guarantee that every surgery is carried out as accurately as possible without discomfort to the patient.

The Reasons to Go for Laparascopic Surgery

Minimally invasive: Just small incisions are made leaving less pain and requiring recovery to be faster.
Faster healing: By using the surgical procedure, the majority of the patients enter into the normal daily process quickly compared with the conventional open surgery.
Less probability of infection: There is less likelihood of risk of infection because the incisions will be shallow.
Aesthetic: Smaller scars which in many cases are not as apparent as those that result after open surgery.
Same-day discharge: Most of the procedures can be performed on a day-care basis which implies that you will be able to go home on the same day.

Laparoscopic Surgery Process, Metropolis Health Clinics Fepiza

Step 1- Consultation and Exam

When you attend Metropolis Health Clinics | Fapeza on a laparoscopic surgery, the process will start with some consultation by the surgeon. This involves analysis of your health history, physical assessment and where warranted, a selection of diagnostic testing (e.g., blood and imaging tests). Your surgeon will detail the surgery process; its advantages, risks and what you should expect as far as recovery is concerned.

Step 2: Pre- Operative Preparation

As soon as you and your surgeon decide what becomes the most effective course of action, you will be provided with the guidelines as to how to prepare yourself to a surgical intervention.

Fasting: Before your procedure you may be asked not to eat or drink a few hours before the test.
Pre-tests: A day before the surgery, in case of procedure and health conditions, they may require blood tests, an electrocardiogram or similar.
Medications: Your surgeon will evaluate your type of medication that you may possibly take to avoid clashes with anesthesia or surgery.

Step 3: The Procedure

On the day of your surgery, you will be admitted to the clinic where you will meet your anesthesiologist and surgical team. The procedure will be performed under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep throughout the surgery. During the surgery:

Small incisions are made (usually 1-2 cm).
A camera (laparoscope) is inserted to guide the surgeon’s movements.
Specialized instruments are used to perform the surgery through the small incisions.
The entire procedure is minimally invasive and done with great precision.

Step 4: Recovery After an Operation

The healing rate of a laparoscopic surgery is short in comparison with an open one. This requires monitoring during a couple of hours after the operation and then discharge is usually on the same day. But, when your procedure is more complicated you might have to by in over night.

Step 5: Follow up Care

Following the laparoscopic procedure, you will be undertaking follow up sessions to ascertain that healing is taking its normal process. These visits enable your surgeon to monitor your healing process by checking whether there are signs of complications, replacing any sutures (should there be any), talking to you about your recovery and so on. It will also give you guidelines to continue with physical activity and allow returning to work.
