Know MoreLaparoscopic surgery is suitable for patients who require minimally invasive treatment for various conditions, such as gallstones, hernias, and obesity. Candidates should be generally healthy, though specific conditions may require further assessment.
General surgery covers a wide range of procedures to treat conditions like appendicitis, hernias, gastrointestinal disorders, and traumatic injuries. A consultation with a surgeon will determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
Candidates for weight loss surgery are typically those who have tried conventional methods (diet, exercise, etc.) without success. For laparoscopic weight loss surgery, individuals with a BMI over 40 or over 35 with obesity-related health conditions may be considered.
Colorectal surgery addresses conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and anus, such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and diverticulitis. Surgical procedures may involve minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy for faster recovery.
While laparoscopic surgery is generally safe, it carries risks like any surgery, including infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding organs. Discuss your concerns with the surgeon to understand the specific risks related to your procedure.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery performed. Most patients can return to light activities within a few weeks, but it may take several months to fully recover. Your surgeon will provide personalized aftercare instructions.
Most patients can return to office work within 1-2 weeks after weight loss surgery, depending on their recovery and job demands. Heavy physical activity may require a longer recovery period.
