Hernias
Gallbladder disease
Appendicitis
Abdominal pain diagnosis
Spleen disorders
Esophageal motility disorders

It is safe, effective, and suitable for most patients when evaluated properly.

Your Frequently Asked Questions

Insights from the best Colorectal surgeon in Ahmedabad, India

Yes. Laparoscopic surgery is considered very safe and is widely used because it causes less tissue damage, leads to fewer complications, and offers faster recovery compared to open surgery.

Most patients recover within 7–15 days, depending on the type of surgery. Many can walk within hours and resume light activities in 2–3 days.

Only very small incisions (5–10 mm) are made, so scarring is minimal and often barely noticeable over time.

Most people are good candidates, but the suitability depends on factors like medical history, previous abdominal surgeries, infection level, or complexity of the condition. Your surgeon will evaluate and advise the safest approach.

Patients should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and intense abdominal pressure for a few weeks. Normal walking and routine activities can usually be resumed early under medical guidance.
