## A word from Dr. Naresh

> Keyhole surgery has changed what recovery looks like. Operations that once meant a long cut and a week in hospital are now done through small cuts, with most people walking the same day.
>
> But I don't recommend keyhole surgery for its own sake. I recommend it when it gives you the same result with less pain, and I'll tell you when open surgery is the safer choice.

**Dr. Naresh Veeranki**General, laparoscopic and laser surgeon

## The complete guide: everything you need to know

Everything you need to know about laparoscopic abdominal surgery, in one place.

1Are you an ideal candidate for laparoscopic abdominal surgery?

Suitability is decided at an in-person examination, with a review of your history and reports.

#### Commonly done by keyhole

- Gallbladder removal
- Appendix removal
- Hernia repair: groin, umbilical and incisional
- Releasing adhesions
- Diagnostic laparoscopy and biopsy

#### !When to wait or plan carefully

- Severe heart or lung disease makes general anaesthesia risky
- Extensive previous abdominal surgery, where open surgery may be safer

2Step-by-step: how it is done

1. 1

   #### Before

   Blood tests, and a scan if needed, plus an anaesthesia check.
2. 2

   #### Fasting

   No food for 6 hours before surgery.
3. 3

   #### The surgery

   Under general anaesthesia, through small cuts of 5 to 10 mm using a camera.
4. 4

   #### After

   Walking the same day; home in 1 to 2 days for most operations.

3Day-by-day recovery timeline and what to expect

| Timeline | What you'll feel | Activity allowed | Care |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Day 1 | Walking and light meals. An ache in the shoulder tip from the gas is common and settles in a day or two. | Walking the same day; rest at home | Walk from day one |
| Week 1 | Most people return to desk work and short drives once off strong painkillers. | Desk work and short drives | Keep cuts dry for 48 hours |
| Weeks 2 to 4 | Gradual return to exercise; heavy lifting as advised for your operation. | Exercise and lifting as advised | Drive once you can brake hard without pain |

Typical timelines. Dr. Naresh will give you one for your own procedure, health and job.

6Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

#### Is keyhole surgery less risky than open surgery?

It usually means less pain, fewer wound infections and a quicker recovery. The operation inside is the same, so its specific risks remain; these are discussed with you individually.

#### Can everyone have keyhole surgery?

Most people can. Severe heart or lung disease, extensive previous surgery or certain emergencies may make open surgery safer.

#### What does 'conversion to open' mean?

If it becomes unsafe to continue through keyholes, the surgeon makes a larger cut to finish the operation. It's a safety decision, and you'll be told beforehand if it's likely.

#### Will I be in a lot of pain?

Most people need regular painkillers for a few days only. Shoulder-tip pain from the gas is common and short-lived.

#### When can I drive?

Once you can brake hard without pain and aren't on strong painkillers, usually about a week.

#### When can I lift things?

Light lifting in 1 to 2 weeks; heavy lifting depends on the operation, typically 4 to 6 weeks for hernia repair.

#### Is it covered by insurance?

Keyhole procedures are covered by most health insurance policies.
