Key hole surgery

What is Keyhole Surgery?

Keyhole surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery or endoscopic/arthroscopic surgery, is a modern surgical technique where procedures are performed through small incisions using a camera (scope) and specialized instruments. This method offers faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.

When is Keyhole Surgery Recommended?

Keyhole surgery is commonly used for:
Joint conditions (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle — e.g., ligament repairs, meniscus surgery, rotator cuff repair)
Spine procedures (e.g., discectomy for slipped disc)
Gallbladder removal (laparoscopic cholecystectomy)
Hernia repair (laparoscopic hernioplasty)
Appendix removal (laparoscopic appendectomy)
Gynecological procedures (laparoscopic hysterectomy, ovarian cyst removal)

Benefits of Keyhole Surgery

✅ Smaller cuts and less scarring
✅ Reduced pain after surgery
✅ Lower risk of infection
✅ Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
✅ Quicker return to daily activities

What to Expect

  • Hospital stay: Often same day or 1-2 days depending on procedure

  • Recovery time: Much shorter than traditional surgery

  • Follow-up: Regular checks and guided physiotherapy if needed
