Patien Testimonial
Altius Hospital, Rajajinagar is the best hospital for maternity care and services in Bangalore and I really had very good experience throughout! My gynecologist, Dr. Ramesh B is very experienced and was listening to my problems and suggesting what to do and what not. Thanks to Altius.
What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
In Laparoscopic surgery we make 3-4 small incisions for trocars through which we introduce operative instruments. Through the naval port (umbilicus) we put 10 mm & 5 mm laparoscope attached to camera systems and monitor, now the surgeon can see the whole abdomen and pelvis on the screen. All the organs are seen magnified and precisely than in open surgery or Direct Visualization. Laparoscopic surgery is also called minimally invasive surgery. It is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed far from their location through small incisions. Due to improved patient outcomes, in the last two decades, laparoscopic surgery has been adopted by various surgical sub-specialties including gastrointestinal surgery (including bariatric procedures for morbid obesity), gynaecologic surgery and urology.
What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Tubal pregnancy : This occurs when an embryo implants in a fallopian tube. Untreated, the tube can rupture and bleed.
A fibroid(lump of uterine muscle tissue) : This can cause pain and bleeding. These can also be diagnosed with ultrasound.
A blocked or damaged fallopian tube : This can cause trouble in conception.
Endometriosis(growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus) : This can cause pain, bleeding, and trouble getting pregnant.
Adhesions(scar tissue) : These can cause pain and infertility.
An ovarian cyst (fluid-filled sac) or tumor (abnormal growth) : Pain irregular cycles.
Pelvic organ prolapse : This is when the female organs drop into or out of the vagina.
Urinary Incontinence : This is when urine leaks involuntarily.
Why Laparoscopic surgeries have become so popular?
Less pain
Patient recovers faster (24 - 48 hrs.) and can resume to work within few days.
No post operative rest required
No/ small scars on the abdomen
No chances of wound infection
No chances of post operative hernias and adhesions
