Overview

After the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy that happened in the early 1990, Minimally Invasive Surgeryhas made impressive inroads into almost all the domains of abdominal and pelvic surgery; in fact this speciality has become standard of care for many of the common indications. A wide spectrum of these surgeries, more commonly referred to as “Key-hole Surgery” or “laparoscopic surgery” is performed by various departments at our hospital.We follow high level of safety protocols and sterilization techniques for enhancing patient safety and comfort.

Lilavati Hospital has one of the finest groups of consultants well known in the field of advanced Laparoscopic and Thorascopic surgery. All types of major gastrointestinal, bariatric, and pulmonary, urology and gynaecology operations are routinely performed by various consultants’ indifferent departments. Advanced imaging departments systems, energy sources and anaesthesia monitoring system make this surgery extremely safe in our institute. Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery leave the hospital in short time with smiling faces. Our success is extremely high with negligible conversion rate to open surgery.
