FAQs
How much does laparoscopic surgery cost?
Costs differ by procedure, from gallbladder removal to bowel surgery. Insurance covers most medically necessary laparoscopic operations, so ask for an itemised estimate during consultation.
Are the results as good as open surgery?
Keyhole surgery achieves the same internal result as open surgery, with smaller scars, less pain and a quicker discharge for most procedures.
Is keyhole surgery safe?
Laparoscopy is a well-established standard of care. Tiny incisions mean less blood loss and a lower infection risk compared to open surgery.
How fast is the recovery?
Most patients are walking within hours and home in one to three days. Normal routine returns in one to two weeks for common procedures.
What are the disadvantages of laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is not suitable for everyone: previous operations, some complex conditions and overall fitness can make open surgery the safer choice. Shoulder-tip pain and bloating from the gas can last a day or two, and port-site soreness settles within a week. In a few complex cases a keyhole operation may need to be converted to open surgery.
How do I know keyhole surgery is right for me?
Whether keyhole or open surgery suits you depends on the condition, previous operations and overall fitness, decided after scans and a clinical examination.
