Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar, a leading laparoscopic surgeon serving Vatva and surrounding areas from Gastroplus Hospital, Nikol, uses state-of-the-art laparoscopic and robotic technology to perform complex gastrointestinal procedures with minimal trauma to the patient.
In laparoscopic surgery, a thin, lighted telescope called a laparoscope is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen. This allows the surgeon to view the internal organs on a high-definition monitor and perform precise surgical maneuvers using specialized instruments inserted through additional small incisions.
Most patients return to work in 1-2 weeks vs 4-6 weeks with open surgery
Small 5-12mm incisions heal with barely visible scars
Significantly reduced post-operative pain and discomfort
Smaller incisions reduce risk of wound infections
Usually 1-3 days vs 5-7 days for open surgery
Minimal visible scarring for improved appearance
