Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Question –  Why is laparoscopic surgery done?

Answer –  Laparoscopy is done to decrease the size of the cut on the abdomen. This results in a smaller scar, less pain and a faster recovery & hence faster return to work. It offers more precision. Because the size of the incision is tiny as compared to a conventional surgery incision (cut), it is also known as keyhole surgery.

Question –  Is laparoscopy a major surgery?

Answer – Yes, laparoscopy is major surgery. It requires more expertise and expensive equipment. The amount of actual surgical procedure remains the same inside the abdomen. The beauty of the procedure is that the cuts on the abdomen are very small and give a cosmetically better look. The instruments used also are different but the amount of dissection inside remains the same. If you are a candidate for laparoscopic surgery, then you must visit the Best Laparoscopic Surgeon in Chandigarh.
