Key Hole Surgery
Keyhole or laparoscopic surgery enables surgeons to perform complex procedures through incisions that the size of a keyhole. At Sparsh Hospital we provide the best procedure for Key Hole Surgery.
How is keyhole surgery performed?
In laparoscopic keyhole surgery, a telescope is introduced into the body cavity through a 0.5 cm opening. The area is viewed through a CCD video camera attached to a monitor. Surgeons have a magnified and very close view of the organ(s) under study. The cameras can be used to view not only the operative field, but other organs and spaces as well. Surgeons can then perform any type of surgery by viewing the surgical field on the monitor.
A number of benefits for the patient
- Reduced blood loss reduces the chance of needing a blood transfusion.
- Smaller incisions reduce pain and shorten recovery time.
- Less pain means less pain medication needed.
- The chance for infections is less due to reduced exposure of internal organs to the possible external contaminants.
- Relatively small scars as the incision is very small.
