About Laparoscopy in Chennai
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is performed through a few small cuts using a camera and long, thin instruments. Compared with open surgery it usually means less pain, smaller scars, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal activity. Many laparoscopy procedures are short, planned interventions affecting the abdomen and pelvis. Of the 4 laparoscopy treatments on Go Surgery, 3 usually let you go home the same day or the next.
Common laparoscopic operations include gallbladder removal, appendix removal, hernia repair and diagnostic laparoscopy to find the cause of abdominal pain. The abdomen is gently inflated with carbon dioxide so the surgeon has room to see and work.
Not every patient is suitable for keyhole surgery — previous major abdominal surgery, severe inflammation or certain medical conditions may make open surgery the safer choice. Occasionally a keyhole operation has to be converted to open surgery during the procedure, which your surgeon will discuss with you beforehand.
Conditions
These are common reasons patients in Chennai seek a laparoscopy consultation.
Inguinal Hernia
An inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin where tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It is far more common in men and does not heal without surgery.
Gallstones
Gallstones are hard deposits that form in the gallbladder. Many cause no symptoms, but stones can cause attacks of pain, inflammation of the gallbladder or pancreatitis.
Appendicitis
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It is a surgical emergency because an inflamed appendix can burst.
Treatments
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
The hernia is repaired from inside through small incisions and the weak area reinforced with a mesh. It suits both sides being repaired at once and recurrent hernias.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The gallbladder, along with its stones, is removed through small incisions. People live normally without a gallbladder — bile flows directly from the liver into the intestine.
Laparoscopic Appendectomy
The inflamed appendix is removed through small incisions, usually as an emergency operation.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy
A camera is inserted through a small cut to look directly at the abdominal and pelvic organs when scans haven't found the cause of symptoms. Treatment can often be done in the same sitting.

FAQs
How is laparoscopic surgery different from open surgery?
Open surgery uses one larger incision; laparoscopy uses several small (5–12 mm) incisions and a camera. The operation inside is often the same, but recovery is usually quicker with laparoscopy.
Will I have visible scars?
You will have a few small scars, typically around the navel and lower abdomen, which usually fade considerably over months.
Why do I have shoulder pain after laparoscopy?
The gas used to inflate the abdomen can irritate the diaphragm and cause referred shoulder-tip pain for a day or two. Walking around helps it settle.
How long is the hospital stay?
Many laparoscopic procedures need a same-day or overnight stay; more complex ones may need 2–3 days.
