FAQ
What is minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery?
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, performed by the best general surgeons in Kolkata and many places, involves using a laparoscope (a small camera) and specialized instruments to conduct operations through small incisions. This technique results in less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
What lifestyle adjustments are needed after surgery?
After surgery, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activities, and following your doctor’s instructions are crucial. Specific lifestyle changes may vary based on the type of surgery and your individual health needs.
When can patients typically return home after surgery?
Discharge times vary based on the type of surgery and the patient’s recovery progress. Some minimally invasive procedures allow same-day discharge, while more complex surgeries may require a longer hospital stay. Your surgeon will provide a specific timeline based on your procedure.
What type of anesthesia will I receive during surgery?
The type of anesthesia used depends on the surgery and your health condition. It could be local, regional, or general anesthesia. Your anesthesiologist will discuss the most appropriate option with you before the procedure, often consulting the general surgeon.
How can I prepare for my surgery?
Preparation for surgery involves following your doctor’s pre-surgery instructions, such as fasting, adjusting medications, and arranging post-surgery care. Ensuring you understand the procedure, risks, and recovery process is also important. Your healthcare team, including the general surgeons, will guide you through the necessary steps.
Is laparoscopic surgery better than traditional open surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery often provides advantages over traditional open surgery, such as reduced pain, smaller scars, and shorter recovery times. However, the best approach depends on the specific condition and the patient’s overall health. Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable option for you.
