Laparoscopic surgery provided at R.K. Hospital
R.K. Hospital provides laparoscopic surgery in Bhopal for patients who need a minimally invasive option for common abdominal surgical problems. Laparoscopic surgery, also called keyhole surgery or laparoscopy, uses small cuts, a camera and fine instruments instead of one large incision.
Dr. Rajesh Kanungo evaluates the diagnosis, reports and patient fitness before recommending laparoscopic or open surgery. The operation is planned case by case.

|---|---|---|
| Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery | Gallstones, gallbladder pain, cholecystitis | Planned after clinical evaluation and required imaging. |
