    Advantages of Our Ratchet-on-Demand System

    • This mechanism engages or disengages with a flick of your finger.
    • In effect, you have a ratcheted instrument and a non-ratcheted instrument - all in one.
    • Never again will you have to duplicate jaw patterns to have both handle configurations available.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

     

    Questions frequently asked by PATIENTS that are considering Laparoscopic procedures in the near future

    What is Laparoscopic surgery?

    Laparoscopic surgery is a method by which surgery is done by making small incisions on the abdominal wall and inserting laparoscopic instruments through specially designed ports. The procedure will be visualized with the help of a camera, which will also be introduced through one of these ports. Laparoscopic surgery eliminates the need to make large incisions to operate.

    What procedures can be done by Laparoscopic surgery?

    Almost all surgeries being done in open surgery are nowadays being performed by means of laparoscopic surgery. The most common however are cholecystectomy (removal of the gall bladder), appendicectomy (removal of the appendix), tubal ligation (sterilization), diagnostic laparoscopy, hernia repair, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and other bariatric procedures. 

    Is it more expensive than open surgery?

    The equipment, maintenance and procedure are more expensive but as the hospital stay and the intake of drugs is reduced it is actually the same if not less than open surgery.

    Where can I get it done?

    It has become very common and is being done in almost every reputed hospital with minimal complication rates.

    Will I need anesthesia?

    Diagnostic laparoscopy and hernia repairs can be done under local anesthesia but the other procedures will require general anesthesia.

    How long do I have to stay in the hospital?

    A healthy person without any other medical ailments and complications will come in on the day of surgery or the previous day. Following a laparoscopic procedure for the gall bladder or appendix, they can be discharged on the next day. For more advanced procedures, three to four days in hospital would be the norm.

    *Please consult with your doctor, family physician, or other qualified health care professionals before considering any procedure discussed within this website.
