Diagnostic laparoscopy is performed primarily to inspect pelvic organs and confirm a diagnosis. Operative laparoscopy involves using specialized micro-instruments through keyhole incisions to actively treat or remove conditions (such as cysts, fibroids, or adhesions) during the same procedure.

Most patients are discharged either on the same day or within 24 hours. Light activities can usually be resumed within 3 to 5 days, and full recovery is typically achieved within 1 to 2 weeks.

Laparoscopy uses tiny incisions ranging from 0.5 cm to 1 cm, usually hidden near the navel and lower abdomen. These heal into very small, barely noticeable marks that fade significantly over time.

Yes, diagnostic and operative laparoscopy procedures are fully covered under major health insurance policies, as well as government panels like ECHS and CGHS. Our dedicated insurance desk assists with cashless pre-authorizations.

Not every condition or patient is suited to laparoscopy. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, medical history, prior procedures, and other clinical factors. A surgeon can review your reports and discuss the appropriate approach, including alternatives.

Bring relevant imaging and test results, previous operation notes if available, a list of medicines and allergies, and details of your medical history. These help the surgeon assess your situation and discuss next steps.

Preparation is based on the planned procedure and your health. Your care team will explain any required tests, fasting instructions, medicines to adjust, anesthesia assessment, and when to arrive. Follow the specific instructions provided by your team.

The length of stay varies with the procedure, recovery, and individual health needs. Some people may go home the same day, while others may need observation or an overnight stay. Your surgeon can advise what to expect for your planned operation.
