What is a Pediatric Laparoscopy ? Dr. Apoorva Makan Explains
Pediatric laparoscopy surgery is also called as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive pediatric surgery or camera-assisted surgery. It is a modern type of surgery in which a tiny camera called as laparoscope and special instrument are inserted from a small opening.
The camera helps the pediatric surgeon to view internal organ on the screen and perform the surgery with greater precision.
The full process begins with consultation and diagnosis with your laparoscopic surgeon. The surgeon might also prescribe few pre-operative tests and perform anesthesia assessment to ensure the child is fit for surgery.
On the day of surgery, the child is admitted and prepared for anesthesia and then the Laparoscopic procedure is performed in a controlled operation theater.
After the surgery, child is closely monitored by your surgeon until he/she becomes stable and able to drink fluids. The discharge from hospital can happen on same day or after a short stay depending on the child’s condition. Your pediatric surgeon will guide on discharge procedures.
Your pediatric laparoscopy surgeon will also guide you with detailed post-op instructions after the surgery including medicines, diet to follow and precautions to take.
