Free Laparoscopic Surgery Camp at Ma Danteshwari Hospital - Dr. Vikram Lotwala

Dr. Vikram Lotwala, laparoscopic and bariatric surgeon from Surat, conducted a free laparoscopic surgery camp at Ma Danteshwari Hospital. The camp gave patients who could not easily afford or travel for surgery access to modern keyhole surgery close to home.

How a free surgery camp works

Screening: Patients are examined in an outpatient session, and tests or scans are done to confirm the diagnosis.
Selection: Patients whose condition can be safely treated at the camp are scheduled for surgery. Complex cases may be referred to a larger centre.
Surgery: Selected patients undergo laparoscopic surgery, with smaller cuts, less pain and faster recovery than open surgery.
Follow-up: Patients receive discharge advice and follow-up care through the local hospital team.
