Laparoscopy
Keyhole surgery designed for smaller scars, less discomfort and a smoother return to everyday life.
Why minimally invasive
Laparoscopic procedures use a camera and fine instruments through small incisions. For suitable patients this often means less tissue trauma, shorter stays and quicker mobility. Not every case qualifies — suitability is confirmed first.
At consultation we decide whether laparoscopy fits your gallbladder, appendix, hernia or other abdominal problem — prior surgery, scars, weight and complexity all matter. Ultrasound or CT may be reviewed to compare keyhole, open or watchful-waiting routes. Many patients ask about discharge timing and return to work; we discuss realistic timelines for Bangladesh clinic and hospital pathways.
Shoulder-tip pain and mild abdominal soreness from gas usually settle within a few days. Contact us urgently for fever, vomiting, a distended abdomen or increasing bleeding from a port site.

Common questions
How visible are scars?
Usually several small cuts — often less noticeable than open surgery.
Shoulder tip pain?
Gas-related and often settles in a few days.
Return to work?
Often 3–14 days; heavy work later.
Is laparoscopy the same at every hospital?
Equipment and experience vary — we help match your reports to a suitable centre and approach.
What are the advantages over open surgery?
Smaller scars, less pain and often earlier walking and eating; complex cases may still need open access for safety.
