Call today to learn more about laparoscopic surgery or use the online tool to set up a consultation.
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive way to do many procedures that were once only possible using invasive, open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is often preferred because it results in shorter recoveries and hospital stays and a faster return to everyday life.
During a laparoscopic procedure, your surgeon uses a laparoscope, a slender tube affixed with a small camera. The camera fits through tiny incisions to project an image of the surgical area onto a screen in the operating room.
Using the magnified view of the operating site, the surgeon uses tiny instruments to work within these tiny incisions to complete various procedures.
The advantages laparoscopic surgery offers over traditional open surgery include:
The surgical team at One Surgical Specialists offers the latest in laparoscopic technologies to eligible patients. Not all procedures can be done using laparoscopic techniques, however. Your surgeon carefully evaluates your case to determine what surgical approach is best for you.
You can require laparoscopic surgery for many reasons. Your surgeon might recommend it for:
Laparoscopic surgery can also be done as a diagnostic procedure if you have unusual abdominal pain, an abdominal mass, or fluid present in the abdominal cavity.
The providers at One Surgical Specialists provide you with a complete list of pre-surgery instructions. You’ll need to stop taking medications that could interfere with the anesthetic and must not eat or drink after midnight the day before your procedure. If you have questions, reach out to the One Surgical Associates staff for clarification.
After laparoscopic surgery, you are monitored to ensure that your vital signs are normal as you come out of the anesthetic. Depending on how invasive your procedure was, you could spend 1-2 nights in the hospital or go home the same day to recover.
Following your surgery, follow the post-surgical instructions provided by the One Surgical Associates staff. Avoid all strenuous activity, including heavy lifting, until your doctor has cleared you.
