Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, uses small incisions and specialized instruments with a camera to perform operations. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic procedures offer numerous benefits including smaller scars, less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and lower risk of infection. Dr. Praveen Reddy is highly experienced in laparoscopic techniques for gallbladder removal, hernia repair, appendectomy, and other abdominal surgeries.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and individual patient factors. Minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures typically allow patients to return to normal activities within 3-7 days, while more complex open surgeries may require 2-4 weeks. During your consultation, Dr. Praveen will provide a detailed recovery timeline specific to your procedure, along with post-operative care instructions to ensure smooth healing.
