Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive technique in which doctors perform surgery by making small incisions in the abdomen to insert tiny cameras, devices, and instruments into the body. The images from the cameras can be projected onto a large screen, and help the doctor guide the cameras, devices, and instruments throughout the region, thus allowing him or her to view different organs up close.This differs from traditional open surgery wich requires large, deep incisions. In some cases, during this procedure, the doctor might take tissue samples to send for examination in the lab. In other cases, the doctor will use the cameras, devices, and instruments to perform operations in the body.

What can an international patient expect from Laparoscopy doctors?

The Laparoscopy doctor typically first sees the results of the diagnostic tests to assess the medical condition and overall health of the patient. Based on the initial assessment, the doctor would prepare a treatment plan tailored according to the individualized needs of each patient. The doctor will also discuss the treatment plan for Laparoscopy, alternative options, the pros and cons associated with each option and the possible risks as well as complications to educate and help the patient make the decision. They provide a comprehensive evaluation report and discuss the treatment in-depth with the patient during their consultation. For internation patients, they offer teleconsultation services to educate them about their condition and treatment options. These consultations help the patients and their families understand the treatment better and provide them a chance to ask questions or clear their doubts. The doctors are involved in the entire treatment process, from the pre-treatment phase to post-treatment care.

Once the patient is ready for the treatment, the Laparoscopy surgeon addresses his team members and shares the details of the case with them. The team members prepare for Laparoscopy and set up a convenient date for the procedure with the patient’s approval. The team will provide the patient a few instructions and guidelines for the pre-treatment phase. Also, the Laparoscopy hospital initiates the formalities and ensures the hospital stay is comfortable. The patient will have to submit documents for any insurance claim approval. They must also apply for a medical visa and arrange their travel and accommodation based on the scheduled date for the procedure.

Are the Laparoscopy surgeons skilled in the latest treatment procedures?
