Gastro-Laparoscopic Surgery: Advanced Care for Digestive Health

Gastro-laparoscopic surgery is a modern, minimally invasive approach to treating a wide range of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. It uses small incisions, a camera (laparoscope), and specialized instruments to access and operate on the digestive organs. Compared to traditional open surgery, this technique offers quicker recovery, less pain, minimal scarring, and fewer complications.

Our experienced surgical team provides comprehensive laparoscopic solutions for both cancerous and non-cancerous conditions affecting the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and colorectal region.

1. Cancer Surgeries on Stomach (Gastric Cancer Surgery)

Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, often necessitates timely surgical intervention to remove cancerous tissues and prevent spread. Laparoscopic surgery is preferred for its precision and minimal impact on surrounding organs.

Types of laparoscopic stomach cancer surgeries:

Laparoscopic Subtotal Gastrectomy: Removal of the lower portion of the stomach.
Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy: Complete removal of the stomach, often followed by reconstruction of the digestive tract.
D2 Lymphadenectomy: Removal of regional lymph nodes to prevent cancer spread.

Advantages of laparoscopic stomach cancer surgery:

Improved visibility and accuracy
Lower risk of wound infection
Shorter ICU and hospital stay
Quicker return to oral intake and nutrition

We ensure thorough pre-operative assessment including endoscopy, biopsy, and imaging (CT or PET scans) to determine the best approach for each patient.

2. Cancer Surgeries on Small Intestine

Small intestine cancers, though rare, can cause significant complications like bleeding, obstruction, or perforation. Early diagnosis followed by surgical resection improves survival rates.

Laparoscopic procedures for small intestine cancer:

Segmental Small Bowel Resection: Removing the cancerous segment with surrounding healthy margins.
Bypass Surgery: Used when tumors block the intestine and resection isn’t possible.
Exploratory Laparoscopy: For staging and biopsy purposes in uncertain cases.

Postoperative recovery is typically swift, and patients resume oral intake within a few days.

3. Cancer Surgeries on Large Intestine (Colon Cancer)

Colon cancer is one of the most common GI cancers. Surgical removal of the affected segment is the standard treatment. Laparoscopic techniques have become the gold standard for early to moderately advanced stages.

Types of laparoscopic colon cancer surgeries:

Right Hemicolectomy: For tumors in the ascending colon
Left Hemicolectomy: For descending colon cancers
Sigmoid Colectomy: For sigmoid colon cancers
Laparoscopic Total Colectomy: For multifocal or genetic colon cancers

Our surgeons ensure complete oncological clearance including:

Clear resection margins
Removal of adequate lymph nodes
Restoration of bowel continuity (anastomosis)

We also offer genetic counseling and follow-up for patients with familial colorectal cancers.

4. Non-Cancerous Surgeries on Stomach

Several benign stomach conditions also require surgical management when conservative treatments fail.

Laparoscopic options for non-cancerous gastric diseases include:

Pyloroplasty: Surgery to widen the opening between the stomach and duodenum (for gastric outlet obstruction)
Vagotomy: Cutting vagus nerves to reduce acid secretion in refractory ulcers
Benign Tumor Resection: Removal of non-malignant growths like GISTs or polyps
Gastrostomy/Gastrojejunostomy: For long-term feeding or bypassing obstructions

Patients benefit from reduced pain, minimal blood loss, and quicker GI function recoery.

5. Non-Cancerous Surgeries on Small Intestine

Benign small bowel conditions can cause pain, vomiting, malnutrition, or recurrent obstruction.

Common laparoscopic procedures include:

Adhesiolysis: Releasing internal scar tissue causing intestinal blockage
Meckel’s Diverticulectomy: Removal of a congenital pouch causing bleeding or infection
Strictureplasty or Segmental Resection: For narrowing due to Crohn’s disease or inflammation

Minimally invasive methods significantly reduce hospital stay and promote early mobilization.

6. Non-Cancerous Surgeries on Large Intestine

Diseases like diverticulitis, polyps, volvulus (twisting of intestine), and inflammatory bowel disease often require partial or total colectomy.

Laparoscopic surgeries include:

Segmental Colectomy: Removing only the affected part
Total Colectomy with Ileorectal Anastomosis: For extensive ulcerative colitis or familial polyposis
Laparoscopic Polypectomy: For large, non-removable colon polyps

These procedures restore digestive function and reduce long-term complications.

7. Colorectal Surgery (Laparoscopic)

Colorectal surgeries target conditions involving the colon, rectum, and anus, such as cancer, rectal prolapse, incontinence, and chronic constipation.

Laparoscopic colorectal procedures offered:
