Laparoscopic Appendicectomy
Lap appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the appendix through several small incisions, rather than through one large one. Recovery time from the lap appendectomy is short.
Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
Inguinal hernia repairs are one of the most common general surgical operations performed in the world. Diagnosis of inguinal hernias is typical performed using a thorough history, and physical and is typically signified by a bulge in the groin. There are many treatment options for patients with inguinal hernias including watchful waiting, open primary repair, open tension-free repairs with the use of mesh prosthetics, and laparoscopic repairs which are typically performed with mesh prosthetics.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, also known as minimally invasive cholecystectomy, is performed through 4 small incisions with use of a camera to visualize the inside of the abdomen and long tools to remove the gallbladder. Surgery is done under anesthesia, and patients are asleep throughout the entire procedure.
Laparoscopic Incisional Hernia Repair
During the operation, there was less blood loss and less need for a wound drain in the laparoscopic group.
Laparoscopic Hiatus Hernia repair (Acid Reflux Surgery)
A hiatal hernia tends to make the antireflux barrier more open and weaker. Consequently, it allows acid reflux to occur more easily. The hiatal hernia itself usually does not cause symptoms unless it is very large. The procedure can nearly always be done laparoscopically, using very small incisions. Typically, patients will spend the next one to two days in the hospital and 2–4 weeks at home recovering. Ideally, within a few weeks, patients will no longer have heartburn, and no longer need to take heartburn medication.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
Laparoscopic gastric bypass (GBP) surgery is a surgical procedure that involves the creation of a gastric pouch and is performed to yield significant and long-lasting weight loss in patients who are severely obese.
Laparoscopic Gastric Band
Adjustable gastric banding (also known as “Lap Band” or “Realize band”) is considered by many to be the least invasive surgery for weight loss. The procedure involves placing an implant, a soft silicone ring with an expandable balloon in the center, around the top part of the stomach. It effectively creates a two-compartment stomach, with a much smaller top part above the band. A person eats enough food only to fill the top part of the stomach. Over time, after the meal, the food passes through the opening of the band into the remainder of the stomach, and digestion occurs normally.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
During the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), about 75% of the stomach is removed leaving a narrow gastric “tube” or “sleeve”. No intestines are removed or bypassed during the sleeve gastrectomy. The LSG takes one to two hours to complete.
Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy
A colectomy procedure to remove one side of the colon is called hemicolectomy. A right hemicolectomy, involves removing the right side of the colon and attaching the small intestine to the remaining portion of the colon.
Laparoscopic Left Hemicolectomy
Left colectomy is performed under general anesthesia
In this procedure, a surgeon usually removes the descending colon before reattaching the transverse colon.
The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdominal wall and inserts a thin scope. The scope has a lens and light for viewing purposes.
The surgeon then inserts surgical instruments through the small cuts in the abdomen and removes the diseased part of the colon and reattaches the healthy colon.
The instruments are removed and incisions are stitched with absorbable stitches. This type of procedure is also known as keyhole surgery.
Left colectomy usually lasts less than three hours.
Laparoscopic Anterior Resection
Laparoscopic low anterior resection (Lap LAR) is an ideal, minimally invasive surgical procedure for mid- and distal rectal cancer.
Laparoscopic Total Colectomy
A laparoscopic total abdominal colectomy is an operation that removes the large intestine. Doctors use it to treat conditions including:
Inflammatory conditions of the intestine, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
Familial polyposis, an inherited condition in which hundreds to thousands of polyps (small growths) form along all of the large intestine
Laparoscopic Rectopexy
Laparoscopic rectopexy is one of the surgeries that is used to repair a rectal prolapse. In this surgery, the rectum is restored to its normal position in the pelvis, so that it no longer protrudes through the anus. Usually, stitches are used to secure the rectum, often along with mesh.

Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy
Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D1+ dissection is generally prescribed for clinical stage IA cancer that was diagnosed prior to surgery. However, the procedure can also be used for cancers that have progressed to a later stage, if dissection cannot be performed because of a patient's clinical parameters.
Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy
This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed to remove benign \ or malignant (cancerous) tumors in the body or the tail of the pancreas.
