Minimal Access/Laparoscopic Surgery

 Minimal Access Surgery (MAS) refers to the use of techniques that permit access to internal organs without a large incision. It’s a specialized form of surgery that allows surgeons to operate by making a keyhole-sized incision and performing surgeries on internal organs leaving a small scar as against the conventional/open surgeries where surgeons performed large incisions. Our department offers a full spectrum of specialised surgeries – general and minimal access, bariatric surgery and gastrointestinal surgery. As MAS is carried out with the help of tiny incisions, patients have less postoperative pain, spend shorter time in the hospital and recover significantly faster than after open surgery. The department is equipped with top class equipments to perform simple and complex surgeries ideal for improving your health at every stage.When MAS is used for dealing with abdominal diseases it is called Laparoscopic surgery.
