What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, uses small incisions and a camera (laparoscope) to perform operations inside the abdomen or pelvis. Dr. Amit Gupta at Rai Umrao Singh District Hospital, Budaun, specializes in this technique for several common conditions.
Benefits
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Less post-operative pain
- Shorter hospital stay (often 1-2 days)
- Faster return to normal activities
- Lower risk of infection
Common Procedures
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
- Appendectomy
- Hernia repair
- Diagnostic laparoscopy
Before Surgery
Patients are asked to fast for 8-12 hours, stop certain medications, and complete pre-operative blood work. Dr. Gupta's team guides you through every step.
After Surgery: Recovery
Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days. Light walking is encouraged from day one. Full recovery takes 1-2 weeks vs 4-6 weeks for open surgery.
When to Call Your Doctor
Contact Dr. Amit Gupta's clinic if you experience fever, severe pain, wound discharge, or persistent nausea after surgery.
