Frequently Asked Questions
Laparoscopic surgery involves the use of a camera and specialised instruments inserted through small incisions. Open surgery involves a wider incision through which the surgeon can directly see and access the operative site. While laparoscopic surgery usually has a quicker recovery time and less post-operative pain, you may be best suited for one or the other depending on your particular circumstances.
The length of your hospital stay depends on the type of operation you have and your general health. Certain treatments like laparoscopic cholecystectomy may allow discharge within 24 hours, while more complicated surgeries may necessitate a lengthier stay for observation and rehabilitation. Your surgeon will talk with you about when to expect to go home.
Your surgical team will provide you with precise advice on fasting, adjusting medications, and other preparations. We urge you to have someone with you during the first recuperation period. Our experts will provide you with all pre-operative instructions so that you are well prepared.
All surgical procedures entail some risk of infection, bleeding, complications from anaesthesia, and specific risks related to the treatment being performed. Your surgeon will explain the precise risks and advantages of your procedure and answer any concerns you have during the consent process.
Your return to normal activities will depend on the type of surgery and your unique recovery. Light activities can usually be resumed in a few days, while more rigorous activities may take several weeks to recover from.
