Summary
- Mini-laparoscopic surgery uses smaller ports for less pain.
- Patient recovered quickly, requiring minimal pain medication.
- Hospital is sole provider of this technique in Delhi-NCR.
A 35-year-old woman in Delhi has successfully undergone a groundbreaking mini-laparoscopic procedure for gallstone removal, experiencing significantly less pain and minimal scarring. The surgery, performed at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, employed a 5-5-2-2 technique using very small 2mm and 5mm surgical ports, a stark contrast to conventional methods.
This innovative approach dramatically improves patient outcomes. The woman was able to walk within two hours of the surgery and required minimal pain relief. Doctors highlighted that the reduced tissue trauma leads to faster recovery and excellent cosmetic results, making it a preferred option for suitable patients.
Sir Ganga Ram Hospital is currently the only institution in Delhi-NCR offering this mini-laparoscopic cholecystectomy. While robotic surgery is also available, this technique offers a less invasive and more affordable alternative. Surgeons noted that conventional laparoscopic methods remain essential for complex cases, ensuring patient safety and optimal results.
