What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a modern technique that involves performing operations through small incisions using a laparoscope—a thin, lighted tube equipped with a camera. This approach allows surgeons to view internal organs on a monitor and perform precise procedures with minimal trauma to the body.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery in Dubai
-
- Reduced Pain: Smaller incisions result in less postoperative discomfort.
- Faster Recovery: Patients often heal more quickly and enjoy shorter hospital stays.
- Minimal Scarring: Smaller cuts mean less visible scars.
- Lower Risk of Infection: Reduced wound size decreases the likelihood of infection.
Advanced Laparoscopic Techniques in Dubai
Dr. Rohit Kumar employs advanced laparoscopic techniques for a variety of procedures, including:
-
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Removal of the gallbladder.
- Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Removal of the appendix.
- Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: Treatment of hernias such as inguinal, umbilical, and femoral hernias.
- Bariatric Surgery: Weight loss surgeries including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic mini gastric bypass.
- Colon Surgery: Treatment of conditions affecting the colon.
What is Involved in Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery involves making several small incisions in the abdomen through which the laparoscope and other surgical instruments are inserted. The laparoscope provides a magnified view of the internal organs on a monitor, allowing for precise and controlled surgery. After the procedure, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical tape.
Possible Risks and Complications
While laparoscopic surgery is generally safe, it carries some risks, including:
-
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Damage to surrounding organs
- Blood clots
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia
- Hernia at the incision site
Dr. Rohit Kumar takes extensive precautions to minimize these risks and ensure the safety and well-being of his patients

The invention of Laparoscopy Surgeries
In 1895, Georg Kelling performed the first endoscopic examination on humans. He used an endoscope of his design to visualise the interior of the bladder via the urethra. Seven years later, in 1902, Anton Brill and Hans Christian Jacobaeus performed the first pneumoperitoneum for diagnostic purposes. They injected carbon dioxide into the abdomen through a Veress needle and inserted a cystoscope through a small incision to examine the interior of the belly. These pioneers laid the foundation for one of the most significant advances in surgical history: laparoscopic surgery.
The first successful laparoscopic surgery was performed in 1917 by Kussmaul and Schloffer, who used a Laparoscope to remove a kidney ball from a patient with renal tuberculosis. It wasn’t until 1948, however, that Gerhard Buess entirely performed the first successful surgery through abdominal wall punctures (i.e., trocar insertion). He removed an ovarian cyst from a patient using only 2 5-mm incisions: 1 for a telescope and 1 for a dissector. The laparoscopy techniques evolved with time, and today, we are in an era where the surgery is robot-assisted. Artificial intelligence and augmented reality are the way forward in surgeries, and laparoscopy will only improve patients’ experience and recover faster.
NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery)
NOTES is a minimally invasive surgery that has revolutionised the medical industry. This technique allows surgeons to operate through small incisions, which results in less pain and scarring for patients. NOTES was first developed in the early 1900s but did not gain widespread popularity until the late 1990s. Since then, NOTES has undergone significant evolution. The most important advance has been the development of single-port or natural Orifice surgery, a NOTES technique that uses only one small incision. This type of surgery is less invasive and has many benefits for patients. In addition, new robotic surgery techniques have made NOTES more precise and safer. As NOTES continue to evolve, more patients will likely benefit from this minimally invasive technique.
Laparoscopic advanced gastric surgery procedures are usually performed to treat patients who are struggling with obesity. These procedures work by changing the stomach and intestines, reducing the amount of food a person can eat and how much they absorb from what they eat.
Commonly performed surgical procedures are laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hernia mesh repair, and hiatus hernia repair. We also perform bariatric surgeries, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic mini gastric bypass, etc.
The procedure
The laparoscope is a small video camera inserted through a small incision in the abdominal wall. This allows the surgeon to see inside the abdomen on a video monitor. Laparoscopy surgery can be done using standard laparoscopic equipment. Guide wires and catheters may also be used during laparoscopy surgery. These thin tubes help the surgeon navigate the abdominal cavity and organs.
The laparoscopy procedure requires several small incisions in the abdominal area. A laparoscope, a long, thin tube with a light and camera on end, is inserted through one of these incisions. The laparoscope transmits images of the inside of your abdomen to a video screen, where your surgeon can see them. Other ports that we make through 2 or more incisions on the abdomen are used as the surgeon’s hands through which he performs the surgery using various equipment.
Conditions treated
Laparoscopic surgery is often used to treat digestive system conditions like gallstones, inflamed appendix, abdominal wall hernias, hiatus hernias, and weight loss surgeries. The recovery from laparoscopic surgery is typically quicker and less painful than traditional open surgery, with most people being able to return home the same day or the next day. All keyholes are closed using absorbable stitches covered with a water-proof dressing so that the patient does not experience any discomfort.
Recovery in laparoscopy surgery & Aftercare
Most of the laparoscopic procedures performed are done as daycare cases, where the patient leaves the hospital the same day, pain-free.
Following your surgeon’s instructions for care after laparoscopic surgery is important. Your surgeon will allow you to resume daily activities based on the treated condition. For example, if you underwent a hernia procedure via placing a mesh, you need to avoid ensuring a quick and successful recovery.
Immediately after laparoscopy
You are kept under observation post-anesthesia till you are completely awake in the recovery room. After the doctor assesses your stability and alertness, you are moved to the hospital room. You may be allowed to go home after a few hours if it is an outpatient procedure. It is best to have someone assist you as no stress should be induced after the procedure.
Mobilization is one of the tools for quick recovery. The doctor will prescribe you some oral pills, including antibiotics and painkillers, as needed to be safely taken at home.
Diet and Activity
A laparoscopic surgical procedure doesn’t have any dietary restrictions. You can consume light yet solid foods and continue with the same after the process.
Laparoscopic bariatric surgery will have dietary restrictions. You will be asked to be on a clear fluids diet for four weeks or as suggested by the surgeon. You can move to a solid diet, but only as instructed by the doctor. All the dietary instructions in case of bariatric surgery are planned and discussed with the patient well in advance. This allows you to better prepare for the procedure and the recovery both.
Risk stratification
Most of the time, we address high-risk patients who are consulting for a bariatric procedure, wherein we involve our cardiologist, physician, and anesthetist to evaluate them for the particular risk, and they are taken up for surgery after the clearance of all the doctors treating them.
