How is Laparoscopy done?

These procedures are carried out under General Anesthesia.
The surgeon inflates the patient's abdomen with a harmless gas so that the pelvic organs are easy to see.
The laparoscope is inserted through a tiny incision in or near the navel. Other instruments may be inserted through one or more other tiny incisions. A video camera is attached to the laparoscope to enlarge and record the view. After the procedure, the gas is released.
The incisions are closed with thin sutures which may be self absorbable.

What are pre Endoscopy Investigations?

A complete pre operative evaluation is carried out to determine whether the patient is fit to undergo the procedure. Depending on the Pathology and Proposed surgery Investigations from following list are carried out.
