Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery uses a fine camera and specialised instruments passed through a few small incisions instead of one large cut. This gives the surgeon a magnified, clear view of the operating area while significantly reducing trauma to the surrounding muscle and tissue.
At Jekuba Surgical Hospital this approach is used for gallbladder stone removal, appendicitis and hernia repair. Because the incisions are small, patients typically experience less post-operative pain, a lower risk of wound infection and a quicker return to daily activities compared with open surgery.
Every case is evaluated individually with the necessary blood tests and imaging before a treatment plan is finalised, and patients are counselled clearly on preparation, the procedure itself and what to expect during recovery.
