What is Laparoscopic (Minimal Access) Surgery?
Historically, abdominal surgeries required large incisions—often 6 to 12 inches long—meaning immense post-operative pain, weeks of bed rest, and a high risk of wound infections. Today, as a leading keyhole surgery specialist in Barrackpore, Dr. Abhijit Mukherjee has replaced these outdated methods with Laparoscopy.
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimal access or keyhole surgery, involves making 3 to 4 tiny incisions (each less than half an inch). A laparoscope—a thin tube equipped with a high-definition video camera and powerful light—is inserted into one incision, guiding the surgeon as they operate with micro-instruments through the others. This precise, minimally invasive approach is the global gold standard for treating abdominal and gastrointestinal diseases safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is laparoscopic surgery safer than open surgery?
Yes. By minimizing the size of the incisions, laparoscopic surgery dramatically reduces blood loss, decreases the risk of post-operative wound infections, and lowers the chance of developing incisional hernias later in life.
Will I be awake during keyhole surgery?
No. Laparoscopic surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. You will be completely asleep, monitored by our expert anesthesiologists, and will feel absolutely no pain during the procedure.
Why do they pump gas into the stomach during laparoscopy?
During the procedure, harmless carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is used to gently inflate the abdominal cavity. This creates a safe "dome" or working space, lifting the abdominal wall away from your organs so the best laparoscopic surgeon in Barrackpore has a clear, unobstructed view.
