Laparoscopy, also known as diagnostic laparoscopy, is a surgical diagnostic procedure used to examine the organs inside the abdomen. It’s a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure that requires only small incisions.
Alkari Devi Hospital is designed to meet the national and international healthcare standards and is committed to providing quality medical care and excellent patient service.
The facility brings together an expert team of medical and surgical Laparoscopy experts who work together with a compassionate nursing staff to provide patients accurate diagnosis and medical care.
The hospital has high-end technological infrastructure and medical facilities that allow safer, better, and comprehensive medical care.
In many cases, abdominal problems can also be diagnosed with imaging techniques such as:
- ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the body
- CT scan, which is a series of special X-rays that take cross-sectional images of the body
- MRI scan, which uses magnets and radio waves to produce images of the body
Laparoscopy is performed when these tests don’t provide enough information or insight for a diagnosis. The procedure may also be used to take a biopsy, or sample of tissue, from a particular organ in the abdomen.
Alkari Devi Hospital, we recommend laparoscopy to examine the following organs:
- appendix
- gallbladder
- liver
- pancreas
- small intestine and large intestine (colon)
- spleen
- stomach
- pelvic or reproductive organs
By observing these areas with a laparoscope, Alkari Devi’s doctor can detect:
- an abdominal mass or tumor
- fluid in the abdominal cavity
- liver disease
- the effectiveness of certain treatments
- the degree to which a particular cancer has progressed
