Laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery) uses small incisions through which a tiny camera and surgical instruments are inserted. Compared to traditional open surgery, it results in less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stay (often 1-2 days), and faster recovery typically within 1-2 weeks for most procedures.

Bariatric surgery is a well-established, safe surgical option for individuals with significant obesity (BMI ≥ 32.5 with comorbidities or BMI ≥ 37.5) who have not achieved adequate results with diet and lifestyle changes. Our surgical team conducts a thorough pre-operative evaluation to determine suitability and design an individualised surgical plan.

Most patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair return to light activities within 5-7 days and resume normal activities within 2-3 weeks. Open hernia repair may require a slightly longer recovery. Your surgeon will provide specific guidance based on your procedure.

In most symptomatic cases, surgical removal of the gallbladder (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is the most effective and definitive treatment for gallstones. Medications may temporarily relieve symptoms but do not eliminate gallstones permanently. Our surgeons will evaluate your case and recommend the most appropriate approach.
