Laparoscopic Surgery in Assam: Benefits & What to Expect
Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery, has revolutionized the way we approach many common surgeries in Assam and across India. Unlike traditional surgery, which requires large incisions, laparoscopic procedures are done through small cuts using a camera and special instruments.
This modern surgical method is now available at Sankaradeva Hospital, helping patients recover faster, with less pain and fewer complications.
Why Laparoscopic Surgery is Gaining Popularity in Assam
-
Less Pain and Faster Recovery
One of the main reasons laparoscopic surgery is preferred is because it causes less pain than traditional surgery. Smaller cuts mean less damage to the skin and muscles, so patients heal quicker and can get back to their normal life sooner.
-
Shorter Hospital Stay
Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery usually stay only 1–2 days in the hospital. This also means lower costs and less chance of infections.
-
Smaller Scars
Traditional surgery can leave large, visible scars. But laparoscopic surgery leaves tiny marks that are barely noticeable, which is important for both physical and emotional healing.
What Surgeries Can Be Done Laparoscopically?
At Sankaradeva Hospital, several surgeries are now done using laparoscopy, such as:
- Gallbladder removal (Cholecystectomy)
- Appendix removal (Appendectomy)
- Hernia repair
- Gastrointestinal surgeries
- Gynecological surgeries
You can visit our General & Laparoscopic Surgery Department to know more about these procedures and the expert team who perform them.
