Here at Echelon Hospital in Kopar Khairane, we know that having to undergo surgery, minor or major, can be intimidating. That's why we're committed to delivering exceptional, empathetic surgical expertise based on the latest technological advances for both general and laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery. Following is what we have to offer and how we guarantee your path to recovery is safe, seamless, and effective.

What is General & Laparoscopic Surgery?

General surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures used to cure conditions involving different organs, especially the abdomen. From gallstones and hernias to thyroid conditions and intestinal conditions, general surgeons are educated to treat an extensive array of surgical conditions.

Laparoscopic surgery, or keyhole or minimally invasive surgery, is a contemporary method in which several procedures can be done via small cuts with the help of a very small camera (laparoscope) and specific devices. It is most popular today because of its many advantages in terms of comfort and recovery.

Typical General Surgery Procedures

Our general surgeons at Echelon Hospital carry out a series of procedures, such as:

• Appendectomy – Appendix removal because of appendicitis.
• Cholecystectomy – Gallbladder removal, usually performed because of gallstones.
• Hernia Repair – Repairing hernias that occur when internal organs protrude through weakened muscle.
• Bowel Resection – Removal of a section of the intestine to address such issues as cancer or Crohn's disease.
• Thyroid Surgery – Removal of part or entire thyroid gland for such issues as goiters or thyroid cancer.
• Breast Surgery – Such as lumpectomy and mastectomy for breast cancer and disease.

Laparoscopic Surgery: A Gentle Healing

Laparoscopic surgery has a number of benefits compared to open surgery:

• Fewer Cuts – Fewer small incisions result in less trauma to the body.
• Reduced Pain and Scarring – Less postoperative pain and less scarring for patients.
• Quicker Recovery – Most patients get back to normal sooner.
• Shorter Hospital Stays – Several procedures can be performed on a day-care basis or with a short stay.
• Less Risk of Infection – Small incisions reduce the risk of infection and complications.

Common Laparoscopic Procedures at Echelon Hospital:

• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of gallbladder)
• Laparoscopic appendectomy
• Laparoscopic hernia repair
• Laparoscopic bowel resection
• Laparoscopic fundoplication (for acid reflux/GERD)
• Laparoscopic weight-loss procedures such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy
