Laparoscopic Surgery in Chennai

At our center, the department of general and laparoscopic treatment is staffed by experienced surgeons who are skilled in non-surgical techniques. We treat conditions like large intestine diseases, ovarian cysts, gall bladder issues, and even complex cases such as Crohn’s disease. When you consult the best at our center, you receive a personalized treatment option that is less invasive and leads to fewer complications like infection.

Some of the most common laparoscopic treatments we perform include the removal of the appendix for appendicitis, laparoscopic hernia repair, and treatments for thyroid conditions involving the thyroid gland. We perform these strategies to treat various conditions with minimal risk and reduce hospital stays, enabling you to return to your daily life sooner. Our postoperative and postsurgical care teams ensure you recover safely and comfortably, minimizing postsurgery discomfort and postoperative complications.

We are proud to be associated with many Hospitals, one of the most trusted names in healthcare. We equip our advanced surgical facility to handle various strategies with the highest standards of patient care.

Before surgery

• Clinical exam and review of reports (blood tests, ultrasound/CT as needed)
• Pre-anesthesia checkup and fasting instructions
• Medicine review (especially blood thinners and diabetes meds)

During surgery

• General anesthesia is used for comfort and safety.
• 3–4 tiny cuts are made; the abdomen is gently filled with CO₂ to create space.
• A camera and slim instruments are used to complete the repair or remove the diseased organ.
• Most procedures take 30–90 minutes, depending on complexity.

After surgery

• You wake up in recovery; pain is usually mild to moderate and controlled with tablets or injections.
• Sips of water are started first; the diet advances as tolerated.
• Many patients go home the same day or within 24–48 hours.
• Clear home-care instructions and a follow-up date are provided.

Benefits of laparoscopy

• Smaller cuts and less pain
• Shorter hospital stay and faster return to work
• Lower wound infection risk and smaller scars

When open surgery may be better

• Very large or complex masses
• Dense adhesions from multiple prior surgeries
• Severe infections or bleeding where quick open access is safer

We choose the approach that gives you the best outcome—laparoscopic when suitable, open when safer.

• Day 0–1: Walk with help, start oral fluids, pass urine normally
• Days 2–3: Light activity at home; shower allowed; keep wounds dry afterward.
• Week 1: Most people manage desk work and short walks; pain is usually much better.
• Weeks 2–4: Gradual return to normal routine; avoid heavy lifting until your doctor clears you.
• Call us immediately for fever, worsening pain, vomiting, swelling, bleeding, or redness at the cut sites.

Diet & activity: Start with soft foods and plenty of water. Increase walking daily. Avoid smoking and alcohol during early recovery.
Wound care: Keep dressings clean and dry; do not scratch the sites. Stitches are usually absorbable; if not, we’ll remove them at follow-up.

All surgeries have risks. With laparoscopy, common minor issues include temporary shoulder tip pain (from CO₂), bloating, or bruising near cuts. Less common risks are bleeding, infection, injury to nearby organs, or the need to convert to open surgery for safety. We discuss your personal risk and get informed consent before the procedure.
