Laparoscopic Urology

Laparoscopic urologic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at diagnosing and treating urological issues with minimal discomfort for the patient. It utilises a laparoscope equipped with a built-in camera and slender surgical instruments. This approach effectively treats a broad spectrum of benign and malignant urologic conditions.

Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills stands as the best hospital in Hyderabad for urological problems, offering a comprehensive range of advanced laparoscopic procedures.

How Is the Laparoscopic Procedure Conducted?

During the procedure, fluids and medications are administered through an IV line, while a catheter drains your bladder. The laparoscope and surgical instruments are inserted through three to five small incisions made in your abdomen. Your surgeon performs the operation by viewing images from the laparoscope on a video screen.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Urology:

The key benefits of a laparoscopic urology procedure are:

Reduced Bleeding: This lowers the likelihood of needing a blood transfusion.
Smaller Incision: This not only diminishes discomfort but also accelerates recovery time, leading to less scarring and visible marks post-surgery.
Minimal Pain: As it is minimally invasive, patients typically experience less discomfort.
Shorter Hospital Stay: Despite slightly longer surgery duration, patients often have shorter hospital stays, with many being discharged on the same day.
Decreased Infection Risk: The surgery minimises exposure of internal organs to external pathogens, thereby reducing infection risk.

FAQ's

Some factors that may hinder or suggest against laparoscopic surgery include severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, previous surgical history, morbid obesity, and other relevant considerations.

Like any surgical procedure, laparoscopic surgery carries a risk of complications. The doctor will conduct a complete evaluation to determine the most suitable procedure for each patient. However, in a small percentage of cases, it may be necessary to switch from laparoscopic surgery to a traditional open procedure. This decision may be prompted by: ➢ Serious complications occurring during the operation ➢ Unexpected challenges encountered during the procedure. Your surgeon will discuss the potential risks with you in detail prior to the surgery.

Yes, you can sit after the laparoscopic procedure. However, it is advisable to avoid prolonged periods of sitting, as this may elevate the risk of blood clots in your legs. Your doctor may suggest taking short breaks to walk around every hour or so to mitigate the risk of blood clots and facilitate the healing process.
