Laparoscopy at MEDVOYAGER: Comprehensive Treatments
At MEDVOYAGER, our laparoscopy department offers advanced, minimally invasive procedures to treat various abdominal conditions. Laparoscopy uses small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat conditions with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.
Hernia Treatment
Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or connective tissue. Laparoscopic surgery is a preferred method for hernia repair due to its minimally invasive nature..
Symptoms
Visible bulge, pain or discomfort, especially when lifting or bending
Procedure
Small incisions are made, and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted. The herniated tissue is pushed back, and the muscle wall is reinforced with mesh.
Benefits
Reduced pain, smaller scars, faster recovery, and lower risk of recurrence.
Gallstones Treatment
Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in the gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones.
Symptoms
Sudden and intense pain in the upper right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice.
Diagnosis
The gallbladder is removed through small incisions using a laparoscope. This procedure is called laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Benefits
Minimally invasive, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, and quick return to normal activities.
Appendicitis
Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small organ attached to the large intestine. Laparoscopic appendectomy is the preferred treatment.
Symptoms
Sharp pain in the lower right abdomen, fever, nausea, and vomiting
Procedure
Small incisions are made, and the inflamed appendix is removed using a laparoscope.
Benefits
Reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery period, minimal scarring, and lower infection risk.
Inguinal Hernia Treatment
Inguinal hernias occur when a part of the intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall or groin.
Symptoms
Bulge in the groin area, pain during physical activity, heaviness or discomfort in the groin.
Diagnosis
Similar to general hernia treatment, a laparoscope is used to repair the hernia with minimal invasion and reinforce the muscle wall with mesh.
Benefits
Less pain, quicker return to daily activities, minimal scarring, and reduced risk of recurrence.
Umbilical Hernia Treatment
Umbilical hernias occur when part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall near the navel.
Symptoms
Bulge or swelling near the navel, pain when coughing or lifting, discomfort.
Procedure
Minimally invasive approach, faster healing, reduced postoperative pain, and smaller scars.
Benefits
Reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery period, minimal scarring, and lower infection risk.
