Ask Our Experts: FAQs

What is laparoscopic surgery, and how is it different from open surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions, a camera (laparoscope), and specialized instruments to perform surgeries with precision. Unlike open surgery, which requires a large incision, laparoscopic procedures result in less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. It is commonly used for gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and appendix surgery

What precautions should I take before surgery?

Before surgery, follow your doctor’s instructions regarding fasting (usually 6-8 hours before surgery). Inform your surgeon about any medications, allergies, or existing health conditions. Stop smoking and alcohol consumption to promote better healing. Stay hydrated, manage stress, and arrange for post-surgery support at home.

What are the risks associated with general surgery?

All surgeries carry some risks, including infection, bleeding, anesthesia reactions, and blood clots. Other complications depend on the specific procedure, such as organ injury or delayed wound healing. At Altrus Healthcare, we follow stringent safety protocols, advanced surgical techniques, and post-operative care measures to minimize risks and ensure the best outcomes.

How long does recovery take after surgery?

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery. Minimally invasive procedures typically allow for a faster recovery (a few days to a week), while major open surgeries may require several weeks.

For minor surgeries, patients can resume normal activities in a few days.
Major surgeries may require a few weeks of rest before resuming strenuous activities.
Your surgeon will provide personalized recovery guidelines.

We offer comprehensive post-surgical care, including wound management, pain control, physiotherapy (if needed), nutritional guidance, and follow-up consultations to monitor recovery.
