Frequently Asked Questions – General Surgeon

What is laparoscopic surgery and how is it different from open surgery?

Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery uses small incisions and a camera. It results in less pain, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and smaller scars compared to open surgery.

Is general anaesthesia safe?

Modern general anaesthesia is very safe. Anaesthesiologists assess your health before surgery to minimise risks. Side effects are usually mild and temporary.

How long does recovery take after hernia surgery?

For laparoscopic hernia repair, most patients return to light activity in 1–2 weeks. Full recovery takes 4–6 weeks.
