Frequently Asked Questions

What is laparoscopic surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique where surgery is performed through small incisions (0.5-1 cm) using a camera and specialized instruments. This results in less pain, smaller scars, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

How long is recovery after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery?

Most patients can return home within 24-48 hours after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Full recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, compared to 4-6 weeks for open surgery. You can usually resume normal activities within a week.

Is hernia surgery done laparoscopically at R.K. Hospital?

Yes, we perform laparoscopic hernia repair for most inguinal and incisional hernias. Dr. Rajesh Kanungo has extensive experience in minimally invasive hernia surgery with excellent outcomes.
