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.
Is everything done in one sitting?
Almost all laparoscopic procedures are completed in a single operation. Staged surgery is needed only in select complex cases, which is explained beforehand.
What side effects can occur?
Shoulder-tip pain and bloating from the gas used during surgery can last a day or two. Port-site soreness settles within a week.
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.
