Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgery

In recent years, surgical techniques have seen significant advancements, with endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery emerging as preferred minimally invasive procedures. These innovative approaches offer numerous benefits over traditional open surgery, including faster recovery times, reduced pain, and minimal scarring. Panchsheel Hospital stands at the forefront of providing state-of-the-art endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery services, catering to a wide range of medical needs. Let’s explore these minimally invasive procedures.

Endoscopic Surgery

Endoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, involves the use of specialised instruments and a flexible endoscope to perform procedures through small incisions or natural body openings. This technique allows surgeons to visualise internal organs and structures in real-time, facilitating precise diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopic surgery finds extensive application in various medical specialities.

Gastroenterology: Used for diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the digestive tract, including ulcers, polyps, gastrointestinal bleeding, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Pulmonology: Employed for visualising the airways and lungs to diagnose and treat respiratory conditions such as lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Urology: Utilized for evaluating and treating urinary tract disorders, kidney stones, prostate enlargement, and bladder conditions through procedures like cystoscopy and ureteroscopy.
Gynaecology: Applied for diagnosing and treating gynaecological conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, infertility, and abnormal uterine bleeding through hysteroscopy and laparoscopy.
Otorhinolaryngology (ENT): Used for sinus surgery to treat chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and other sinus disorders, as well as for diagnosing and treating throat and ear conditions.

Neurosurgery: Employed for endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic pituitary surgery and endoscopic third ventriculostomy to treat brain tumours, hydrocephalus, and other intracranial conditions.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, commonly known as keyhole surgery, involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which specialised instruments and a laparoscope are inserted. This technique allows for precise manipulation and visualisation of abdominal organs, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues. The scope of application for laparoscopic surgery includes:
- General Surgery: Utilized for procedures such as cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), appendectomy, hernia repair, and bariatric surgery, offering shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery.
- Orthopaedic Surgery: Employed for arthroscopic procedures to diagnose and treat joint disorders like knee and shoulder injuries, cartilage damage, ligament tears, and meniscal injuries.
- Gynaecological Surgery: Applied for laparoscopic hysterectomy, ovarian cystectomy, myomectomy, and tubal ligation, offering less postoperative pain and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
- Colorectal Surgery: Used for laparoscopic colorectal procedures to treat conditions like colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, and inflammatory bowel disease, resulting in faster recovery and improved cosmetic outcomes.
- Pediatric Surgery: Employed for laparoscopic procedures such as appendectomy, hernia repair, and correction of congenital abnormalities in children, reducing postoperative pain and promoting faster recovery.
Hepatobiliary Surgery: Utilized for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic liver resection to treat gallbladder diseases, liver tumours, and bile duct disorders, with reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
