What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed through small incisions using a camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments. This approach offers faster recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced post-operative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.

It is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery in many cases.

Common Laparoscopic Procedures

  • Gallbladder removal (Cholecystectomy)
  • Appendix removal (Appendectomy)
  • Hernia repair
  • Bariatric (weight loss) surgery
  • Colorectal surgery

What is Endoscopic Therapy?

Endoscopic therapy is a non-surgical procedure that uses an endoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera—to diagnose and treat conditions within the gastrointestinal tract and other internal organs. It allows for real-time visualization and treatment without the need for large incisions.

Common Endoscopic Treatments

  • Upper GI endoscopy (for ulcers, bleeding, or tumors)
  • Colonoscopy (for polyps or colorectal cancer screening)
  • Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies or small tumors
  • Endoscopic treatment for gastrointestinal bleeding
