Laparoscopic Surgery Q&A

What is laparoscopic surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure in which your provider uses a special scope with a camera attached to repair tissues. Examples of laparoscopic surgeries from Premier Surgical include:

  • Laparoscopic antireflux surgery
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
  • Laparoscopic colonic resection
  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy
  • Laparoscopic bowel obstruction surgery
  • Laparoscopic ultrasonography
  • Laparoscopic cancer staging 

Experts offer laparoscopic surgery to remove diseased veins, make changes to veins, get rid of hemorrhoids, repair hernias, remove glands or organs, or complete other minor procedures.

What are the benefits of laparoscopic surgery?

Some of the many benefits associated with choosing laparoscopic surgery at Premier Surgical include:

  • Minimal recovery times
  • Smaller incisions
  • Less pain
  • Reduced bleeding
  • Less scarring
  • Optimal precision and accuracy

There are fewer risks associated with laparoscopic surgery compared with traditional open surgery, and the results are highly effective.

Is laparoscopic surgery right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for laparoscopic surgery, your provider reviews your medical history, asks about your symptoms, and completes a physical examination. They may suggest you undergo blood tests, ultrasounds, CT scans, or other imaging procedures to diagnose your condition and develop an effective treatment.

How should I prepare for laparoscopic surgery?

Follow your provider’s instructions prior to undergoing laparoscopic surgery at Premier Surgical. Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward, don’t smoke, and stop taking certain medications if your specialist recommends it.

What happens during laparoscopic surgery?

During laparoscopic surgery at Premier Surgical, your provider numbs the treatment area and offers a sedative or gives you general anesthesia to make you fall asleep. They make tiny incisions and insert a special scope with a camera into targeted tissues. Your surgeon removes, repairs, or replaces affected tissues and closes any incisions.

What should I expect after laparoscopic surgery?

After laparoscopic surgery, follow all post-surgical instructions. Take medications as needed, avoid strenuous activity until your provider says it’s okay, and attend follow-up visits with your specialist. You may have to wear compression stockings after vein surgery. Keep any incision sites clean.

If you need laparoscopic surgery for varicose veins, leg swelling, hemorrhoids, or hernia repair, you can trust Premier Surgical for exceptional care. Call the office to schedule an appointment or book one online today.
