Gastro-laparoscopic surgery refers to minimally invasive procedures performed on the digestive tract using small incisions and advanced laparoscopic instruments. These surgeries offer faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgeries. Our expert surgical team specializes in a wide range of laparoscopic procedures for both cancerous and non-cancerous conditions affecting the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and colorectal region.

Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgeries

Modern laparoscopic techniques have revolutionized how gastrointestinal (GI) conditions are treated — from cancerous growths to non-cancerous disorders.
With smaller incisions, faster recovery, and greater surgical precision, patients experience significantly improved outcomes.

1. Cancer Surgeries on Stomach (Gastric Cancer Surgery)

Stomach (gastric) cancer often requires surgery to remove tumors and affected portions of the stomach.
Laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery allows surgeons to perform the procedure with minimal disruption to nearby organs.

Common Procedures

  • Laparoscopic gastrectomy (partial or total)

  • Lymph node dissection

  • Reconstruction of digestive continuity

Benefits

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Less postoperative pain

  • Faster recovery and return to routine activities

Each surgical plan is personalized based on the cancer stage, tumor location, and overall patient health.

2. Cancer Surgeries on Small Intestine

Though rare, small intestine cancers require precise surgical management.
Laparoscopic surgery provides effective tumor removal with minimal complications.

Surgical Options

  • Laparoscopic segmental resection

  • Bypass surgeries (for advanced stages)

  • Biopsy and staging procedures

A multidisciplinary team ensures complete care — including nutritional support and smooth recovery post-surgery.

3. Cancer Surgeries on Large Intestine (Colon Cancer Surgery)

Colon cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal cancers.
Laparoscopic colectomy enables precise removal of the diseased section with minimal trauma.

Procedures Offered

  • Laparoscopic right or left hemicolectomy

  • Laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy

  • Lymph node removal and pathological analysis

Laparoscopic techniques promote faster healing, lower infection risk, and are especially beneficial for elderly patients.

4. Non-Cancerous Surgeries on Stomach

Certain non-cancerous conditions like ulcers, benign tumors, and gastric outlet obstruction may also require surgery.

Common Procedures

  • Laparoscopic pyloroplasty

  • Removal of benign gastric tumors or polyps

  • Surgery for chronic peptic ulcers

These surgeries help relieve pain, improve digestion, and restore normal stomach function.

5. Non-Cancerous Surgeries on Small Intestine

Conditions such as intestinal strictures, Meckel’s diverticulum, or small bowel obstruction can be treated laparoscopically.

Procedures

  • Laparoscopic bowel resection

  • Adhesiolysis (removal of intestinal adhesions)

  • Meckel’s diverticulectomy

Patients experience reduced pain, fewer complications, and quicker recovery after these minimally invasive procedures.

6. Non-Cancerous Surgeries on Large Intestine

Diseases like diverticulitis, volvulus, polyps, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often need large intestine surgery.

Laparoscopic Procedures

  • Diverticular disease surgery

  • Laparoscopic colectomy for Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis

  • Polypectomy for large benign growths

Minimally invasive surgery helps reduce bleeding, inflammation, and the risk of recurrence in chronic bowel conditions.

7. Colorectal Surgery (Laparoscopic)

Colorectal surgery addresses conditions of the colon, rectum, and anus, such as cancer, prolapse, or fistulas.

Laparoscopic Procedures Include

  • Low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer

  • Abdominoperineal resection (APR)

  • Rectal prolapse repair

  • Sphincter-preserving techniques

These procedures ensure better bowel control, less postoperative pain, and a quicker return to normal life.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Surgery for GI Conditions?

  • Smaller incisions and minimal scarring

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Lower infection risk

  • Faster recovery and return to work

  • Better cosmetic and functional outcomes

Our team utilizes high-definition imaging and advanced laparoscopic tools to ensure precision and safety in every procedure.

When Is Laparoscopic Surgery Recommended?

You may be a candidate for laparoscopic GI surgery if you have:

  • Diagnosed gastrointestinal cancer

  • Recurrent ulcers or obstructions

  • Inflammatory bowel disease not responding to medication

  • Benign tumors or intestinal strictures

  • Chronic symptoms like pain, bleeding, or constipation

Each case undergoes thorough evaluation through endoscopy, imaging, and biopsy to design the most effective surgical plan.

Postoperative Recovery and Support

After laparoscopic GI surgery, most patients can:

  • Start walking within 24 hours

  • Resume oral intake within 2–3 days

  • Return to work in 1–2 weeks (depending on surgery type)

We provide:

  • Personalized recovery plans

  • Dietary guidance

  • Follow-up care to ensure complete healing and long-term wellness
