Some of the most common diseases treated under laparoscopy are Inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, inflammation of the gallbladder(cholecystitis), endometriosis, appendicitis, and hydrocele. 

Max Health offers laparoscopic treatment for hernias, gallbladder stones, appendicitis, and hydrocele at affordable rates and no-cost EMI. 

There are certain factors that determine the overall cost of laparoscopic surgery – 

1. Type of disease
2. Medical condition of the patient
3. Cost of anesthesia used
4. Selection of hospital (government or private)
5. Experience and expertise of the laparoscopic surgeon
6. Cost of medicines and surgical items 
7. Insurance coverage

In laparoscopic surgeries, the surgeon makes minimal incisions similar to the size of a keyhole. The laparoscope assists the surgeon by providing live images on an external monitor. It is an advanced procedure that ensures faster recovery. Open surgery involves a large incision which increases the amount of blood loss and increases the recovery time.

Laparoscopic surgery usually takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the medical condition of the patient and the surgical expertise of the surgeon. The OT time for laparoscopic surgery also varies according to the type of disease. 

No, laparoscopic surgery is not painful since the patient is administered general or local anesthesia. The patient is either sedated or asleep throughout the surgery and does not feel any pain. However, slight numbness around the incision site may be felt after the effects of anesthesia wear off. 

Patients can resume their normal routine within a week after the laparoscopic procedure with certain restrictions around exerting and lifting heavyweights. However, full recovery may take around two weeks, depending on the type of disease. 

Laparoscopic surgeons at Max Health have a minimum experience of 8 to 10 years. Max Health has experienced surgeons with an excellent track record of successful laparoscopic surgeries that ensure a success rate of over 90%. 

Laparoscopic surgery involves small incisions, unlike open surgery. Due to small incisions, there is less blood loss which leads to a faster recovery. Patients can resume their daily work within 7 to 10 days after consulting the doctor. 

Medical tools and instruments used during laparoscopic surgery depend on the type of disease to be treated. However, most of the time, the surgeon uses these standard tools and equipment during laparoscopy –

1. Laparoscope – Used to generate images of the organs and tissues around the abdomen.
2. Needle driver – Used for suturing the wound after the surgery. 
3. Trocar – Assists in draining the fluid from the body. 
4. Bowel grasper – Used to grasp abdomen tissue without having to cut open the abdomen.
5. Surgical mesh – Adds extra strength to the abdominal wall to prevent a recurrence.
