General & Laparoscopy

At Life Point, the Department of General and Laparoscopic Surgery is equipped with sophisticated instruments to carry complex yet simple Laparoscopic surgeries. The procedure of Laparoscopy uses an instrument called a laparoscope to look at the abdominal organs. A laparoscope is a long, thin tube with a high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera at the front. The instrument is inserted through an incision in the abdominal wall. As it moves along, the camera sends images to a video monitor. It is often used for surgeries occurring in the gallbladder, liver, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine (colon)spleen, stomach, pelvic or reproductive organs.
