*We Also Do Laparoscopic and Bariatric Surgeries*

Laparoscopic and bariatric surgeries are modern advancements in surgical care that offer patients effective and minimally invasive solutions for various conditions.

Laparoscopic Surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is performed using small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments. It is used for procedures like gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), appendectomy, hernia repair, and bowel resection. This technique reduces pain, minimizes scarring, and shortens recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.

Bariatric Surgery is designed to help individuals with obesity achieve significant weight loss and improve their overall health. Common procedures include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding. These surgeries work by limiting food intake, reducing nutrient absorption, or both.

Our expertise in laparoscopic surgery ensures precision, quicker recovery, and better patient outcomes. In bariatric surgery, we aim to not only help patients lose weight but also manage obesity-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
