General & Minimal Access Surgery at Health City Vistaar
Healthcity vistaar | 24 July 2025
General & Minimal Access Surgery represents a modern approach to surgical care, focusing on techniques that reduce incision size and minimize trauma to the body. At Health City Vistaar, our surgical team employs advanced technology to perform a range of procedures with high precision, offering patients quicker recovery and better post-operative outcomes.
What is Minimal Access Surgery?
Minimal Access Surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, uses small incisions and specialized instruments, often guided by a camera (laparoscope), to perform surgical procedures. This contrasts with traditional open surgery, which typically involves larger incisions and longer recovery times.
It is widely used for procedures involving the abdomen, digestive system, gallbladder, hernias, and more.
Benefits of Minimal Access Surgery
Patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures can expect several clinical advantages, including:
- Reduced risk of surgical site infections
- Less post-operative pain
- Smaller scars and better cosmetic outcomes
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster return to daily activities
These benefits make it a preferred option for eligible surgical candidates.
Types of Minimal Access Surgery
Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery involves inserting a small camera through a keyhole incision to guide the surgeon during the procedure. It is commonly used for:
- Gallbladder removal
- Hernia repair
- Appendectomy
- Diagnostic abdominal evaluations
Robotic Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery enables surgeons to perform complex operations with enhanced precision. The surgeon operates robotic arms from a console, allowing greater control and 3D visualization. It is useful for urological, gastrointestinal, and certain gynecological procedures.
Endoscopic Surgery
Endoscopy uses a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and camera to access internal organs through natural openings. This method is commonly used for:
- Colonoscopy
- Upper GI endoscopy
- Polyp removal
- Evaluation of digestive tract disorders
Conditions Treated with General & Minimal Access Surgery
At Health City Vistaar, we offer surgical solutions for a broad range of conditions, including:
- Gallbladder disease (e.g., gallstones)
- Hernias (inguinal, umbilical, incisional)
- Appendicitis
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Colorectal conditions
- Abdominal cysts or tumors
Each case is evaluated individually to determine the most appropriate and least invasive surgical approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is minimal access surgery safe?
Yes. Minimally invasive procedures are safe and widely practiced. They are associated with fewer complications and faster recovery, though individual risk factors will be assessed by your surgeon.
How long is the recovery period?
Recovery time depends on the procedure and your overall health. Most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume normal activities within one to two weeks.
Will there be visible scarring?
Minimal access surgery involves small incisions, typically 0.5 to 1 cm in length. These result in minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
Is robotic surgery better than laparoscopic surgery?
Robotic surgery offers enhanced control and precision for complex procedures. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your condition and medical history.
