Laparoscopy is a minimaly invasive surgery in which a few small cuts are made while in the open surgery a large cut is made to access the internal organs.

Yes, Most patients are up and about the next day after laparoscopy surgery. The recovery time is half of the open surgery. As the size of incision is smaller, the recovery is faster and scars are barely noticeable.
There are no side-effects, however some patients feel pain under their right shoulder blade for a few days after the surgery. This is due to the movement of gas induced during the procedure. It settles down within 2-3 days.
Laparoscopic Liver Resection – The Removal of a part of the liver via a minimally invasive procedure, that is laparoscopy is known as laparoscopic liver resection. This procedure is performed to remove any cancerous or benign tumor on the liver. A few small incisions are made on the abdomen of the patient and the laparoscope is inserted along with some other instruments from other incisions. These instruments then help in visualizing the inner organs with a camera attached to them. The diseased part of the liver is removed and taken out through those holes/incisions. The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours depending upon the type of liver resection. The patient is then sent to the recovery room and then to the ward. As the liver tends to regenerate itself, the recovery is faster. Patients may feel weakness or fatigue in the initial weeks which settles down with time. The prognosis is good and the patients heal well and start leading a disease-free normal life after recovery.
Laparoscopic Right/Left Hepatectomy – Hepatectomy is the removal of the liver, it can be partial or complete. In the partial hepatectomy or partial resection of the liver, the portion of either the right or the left side is removed. Right or left hepatectomy is the treatment of choice in case of liver cancer, trauma, infection, parasitic cysts in liver or liver tumors. Most liver cancers arise from colorectal cancers. In these surgeries, the patient’s liver is saved and the diseased part is removed. The removal of the diseased part helps in saving the rest of the organs. The surgery is performed laparoscopically with small incisions so that the patient can recover faster than the open surgery.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy – Removal of gall bladder via laparoscopy is known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. It is the safest and permanent way to treat gall stones and gall bladder cancer etc. It is a minimal invasive simple procedure in which the whole gallbladder is removed by making small incisions on the stomach area. The patient is discharged the next day and walking is advised to ensure a faster recovery. The patients will have no lifestyle or dietary limitations of any kind once the gall bladder is removed. Dr Sandeep Jha is an expert in laparoscopic gall bladder removal in Delhi.
Laparoscopy Choledochal Cyst excision – Choledochal cyst is an anomaly present by birth in babies in which the bile duct (a network of tube-like formation that connects liver, gall bladder, and small intestine) is swollen. This leads to the flow of digestive juices (bile) back to the liver. The choledochal cyst can create inflammation in the liver and pancreas and have a high chance of turning into bile duct cancer if not treated. This cyst-like swelling is removed laparoscopically to ensure the good flow of bile and restore normal health in babies. The patient is discharged after a day or two and will be asked to come for the follow-up to ensure perfect recovery.
Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy – In this surgery, the distal portion of the pancreas that is the body and the tail are removed. This procedure is performed to remove a tumor present in the distal portions of the pancreas. In some cases, the spleen is also removed if the tumor has spread to that as well. This surgery takes about 2 to 3 hours and the pancreas is still able to function. This is one of the best pancreas-saving surgery so that the pancreas can function even after the removal of the distal portions. This distal pancreatectomy is performed in pancreatic tumor or gangrene cases.
Laparoscopic Splenectomy – Spleen is a small fist-sized organ situated in the upper left side of the abdomen. It helps in fighting infections and removes old blood cells from the system. When the spleen gets a severe infection, cancer, trauma, or enlargement then removal of the spleen is the only option. After making small incisions, the spleen is removed via these holes and the incision is closed. The patient is discharged after two to three days post-surgery. None of the body functions will be hampered and the patient is able to eat, sleep and move well without any difficulty.
Laparoscopic IPOM (Incisional Hernia Repair) – An incisional hernia is a protrusion or bulge that forms on the site of a healing scar after surgery. This bulge is quite evident when the patient stands upright or lifts something heavy. Patients who gain weight soon after the abdominal surgery are quite prone to incisional hernia. This type of hernia is repaired only by surgical procedures. In the laparoscopic IPOM, a few small incisions are made on the abdomen so that the laparoscope and other instruments can pass inside. The hernia is pushed back and a wire mesh may or may not be applied to prevent the hernia from coming back. The incision is then closed and the patent can go home after recovering.
Laparoscopic Right/Left Hemicolectomy – As the name suggests, colectomy is the removal of the colon or a part of the bowel/large intestine by laparoscopy. Colectomy is recommended in case of colon cancer, severe constipation, ulcerative colitis, infection and Crohn’s disease, etc. In the right colectomy, the right side of the colon is removed and in the left side of the colectomy, the left part of the colon is removed. Which part of the colon will be removed depends upon the condition and situation of cancer. Dr. Sandeep Jha is an expert in performing right, left, and total colectomy with good quality of life for the patient.
Total Colectomy with IPAA – Subtotal or total colectomy means that the whole colon and rectum are removed. IPPA stands for Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis that means the formation of a J-pouch that allows you to pass stools normally even after the removal of your colon and rectum. This surgery provides a normal life to the patient even after a major large intestine removal surgery. Normal bowel motions are restored and the diseased part is removed. This is performed in severe colon infections, colon cancer, and Crohn’s disease, etc.
Laparoscopic Low/Ultra-low Anterior Resection – AR (Low Anterior Resection) or ULAR (Ultra-low Anterior Resection) are the most common surgeries performed to treat rectal cancer. In the LAR procedure, the diseased part of the rectum is removed and the healthy ends are then attached to each other. The patient is able to poop or defecate normally after recovery. In the case of very low-lying rectal cancers, the ULAR procedure is performed, in which the rectum is removed either partially or fully, and the remaining colon is directly connected to the anus. In some cases, an internal pouch is also created to act as a rectum.
