What does laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery mean?- Dr. Govind Nandakumar

Patients often ask us what laparoscopy means. Laparoscopy is a new modality in surgery wherein we make small incisions to try and do more complicated operations. Earlier to remove something like colon or gall bladder for various disease causes we had to make a large cut on the patient. Now we have the technology which allows us to do the same operation through very small 5 mm or even smaller incisions. This helps patients recover faster, they can go home faster and it also helps us decrease certain other complications like wound infections and hernias. Laparoscopy is good when it is used for the correct disease process. So it is important to find yourself a specialist in the process and also a surgeon who is able to decide whether laparoscopy is the right modality of treatment for you for a particular disease process.
