Department of Minimal Access Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery/MAS/ Laparoscopic surgery is the technique where surgeries are performed by inserting a video camera and multiple thin instruments in the body through small holes/incision. The camera or the endovision system, as it is technically called ,visualises the whole abdomen and the surgeon performs the surgery by looking at a monitor/TV screen.

“Thus the camera replaces the surgeon’s eye”.

Dhawan Hospital is excellent centrein the field of minimally invasive surgery. All the surgical procedure whether opens or laparoscopic is being done with state of art equipments and instrument.This is the one of the private hospital of the tri city where the surgical procedure are done using harmonic scalpel / or ligasure as an energy source which is the ultimate tool for the performance of quality surgery. For advance laparoscopic proceduresthese energy sources are essential.

Advantages of MIS with UltacisionHormonic Scalpel System;

• Minimal thermal tissue damage
• Greater precision near vital structure
• Less tissue charring and desiccation
• Fewer instrument changes
• No Electric current is sent through the patient. All of the direct use of electric current are thus avoided.

This approach helps in early recovery of patients as they are usually walking around in a few hours after the surgery and can resume their daily activities in no time. Laparoscopic surgery causes minimal pain and has excellent cosmetic results.

Almost every organ in the human body has become accessible to the surgeon & MIS can applied to the most of the surgical procedure performed. Some of the conditions for which minimally invasive surgeries commonly performed are:

• Abdomen –
  • Gallbladder Stones

  • Ventral Hernias
  • Paraumbilical Hernias
  • Inguinal Hernias
  • Hiatus Hernia
  • Other rare varieties of hernias like Lumber, Spigelian, etc. 

are repaired mostly by Laparoscopy – The Minimal Invasive Technique.

• Weight Loss & Metabolic Surgeries for Morbid Obesity and Diabetes control
  • Gastric Bypass
