A laparoscopic surgeon is a specialized surgeon who performs procedures using laparoscopic or minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that involves making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a thin, lighted instrument called a laparoscope, along with other specialized surgical instruments, to perform surgical interventions. This approach offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and smaller scars.

Laparoscopic surgeons are trained to perform a wide range of procedures using laparoscopic techniques. These may include diagnostic procedures, such as laparoscopic exploration or biopsy, as well as therapeutic procedures for conditions like appendectomy, cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), hernia repair, colorectal surgery, gynaecological surgeries, and many others. They evaluate patients to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for their condition. They consider factors such as the patient’s medical history, specific diagnosis, overall health, and potential risks and benefits of the procedure. They also provide
pre-operative and post-operative care, including managing pain, monitoring patient recovery, and addressing any complications that may arise.
