Laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, is a surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various gynecological conditions. During laparoscopy, small incisions are made in the abdomen, through which a thin, flexible tube with a camera (laparoscope) is inserted, allowing the surgeon to visualize the pelvic organs and perform surgical interventions as needed.

The duration of a laparoscopy procedure varies depending on the complexity of the case, but it typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete.
Although laparoscopy is generally considered safe, complications such as infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding organs may occur. Dr. Harshrika Holkar will discuss the risks and benefits of laparoscopy before the procedure.
Most patients can go home the same day after laparoscopy, although some may need to stay overnight for observation, depending on the procedure performed and individual recovery.
Recovery time after laparoscopy varies for each patient, but most can resume normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. Dr. Harshrika Holkar will provide post-operative instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery.
Dr. Harshrika Holkar may recommend avoiding heavy or spicy foods for the first few days after laparoscopy to prevent discomfort or digestive issues. Otherwise, there are no specific dietary restrictions.
