Laparoscopy

Who are Laparoscopic Surgeons?

A laparoscopic surgeon is a specialist who has been performing laparoscopic surgeries for years. This type of surgeon is also known as a general surgeon and uses minimally invasive techniques when performing a laparoscopic procedure. Unlike open surgery, laparoscopy requires precision to operate on sensitive abdominal areas without complete access to the organs.

What to expect during and after a Laparoscopic Surgery?

Depending on the type of laparoscopic procedure, the hospital or surgeon will give pre-surgery instructions to the patient. The patient must not consume any food or fluid eight to nine hours prior to the surgery. Wear loose clothing so that it does not cause discomfort to the surgical site. Here are some things you need to know about laparoscopic surgery:

During the Surgery

• A general or local anaesthetic will be administered to you.

• During the procedure, the surgeon will inflate your abdomen with a gas (usually CO2).

• Laparoscopes are long, thin tubes that are inserted into the abdomen.

• A camera on the other end of the device guides the surgeon during the procedure. It usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes.

• The surgeon controls robotic arms that hold a camera and surgical equipment during the robotic laparoscopy procedure.

• Surgeons can perform complex procedures with increased precision with the robotic system's magnified 3D vision.

After the Surgery

• Anaesthesia may cause the patient to feel dizzy and disoriented after laparoscopic surgery.

• After anaesthesia wears off, mild pain and discomfort can be expected around the incision site.

• The hospital will monitor you for a few hours after the surgery until you are fully awake.

• Pain and discomfort can be reduced with some medications prescribed by the doctor.

Do’s and Don’ts after a Laparoscopic Surgery.

A major surgery like laparoscopic surgery requires sufficient rest and post-surgery restrictions to reduce complications and promote a smooth recovery. Here are some do's and don'ts after laparoscopic surgery:

Do’s

• Keep your body moving by walking to avoid stagnation.

• After surgery, drink as much fluid as you can.

• Consult your physician before returning to work or school two days after surgery.

• Stay active and eat fibre-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables.

• Keep an eye on your recovery by consulting your doctor regularly.

Don’ts

• After a laparoscopy, do not lift heavy weights.

• After surgery, avoid driving a vehicle since anaesthesia can cause drowsiness.

• After your laparoscopy, you should not engage in any sports or physical activities.

• Consult your physician before taking any pain medications.

• For at least one week after surgery, do not go into a swimming pool or river.

• Oranges, tomatoes, and other citrus fruits should be avoided.

After laparoscopic surgery, what should I expect at home?

The recovery time can vary depending on the patient's medical condition and the type of laparoscopic surgery. Patients usually take around one to two weeks to fully recover after laparoscopic surgery.

Within a few days, pain and discomfort around the incisions should subside.

Gas used to inflate the abdomen can sometimes remain inside in small amounts causing bloating, cramps, and shoulder pains. However, these symptoms usually last only one or two days after your body has absorbed the gas.
