General & Minimally Invasive Surgery
Overview
Minimally invasive surgery is a medical approach that uses various techniques to perform surgeries with less damage to the body compared to open surgery. This type of surgery is associated with a shorter hospital stay, less pain, and fewer complications. Laparoscopy, which involves making small incisions and using tiny cameras and surgical instruments, was one of the earliest forms of minimally invasive surgery. Another type is robotic surgery, which provides a 3D view of the surgical site and allows the surgeon to operate with greater precision, flexibility, and control.
With ongoing advancements in minimally invasive surgery, it has become a viable option for people with a broad range of medical conditions. If you are facing surgery and believe that you may be a suitable candidate for this approach, it is recommended that you discuss it with your doctor.
Minimally invasive surgery refers to a range of surgical procedures that are performed using specialized techniques and instruments to minimize trauma to the body. Here are some examples of minimally invasive surgeries that are performed on specific parts of the body:
- Adrenalectomy: removal of one or both adrenal glands
- Colectomy: removal of parts of a diseased colon
- Cholecystectomy: removal of the gallbladder to relieve pain caused by gallstones
- Hiatal hernia repair: a surgery to relieve gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Splenectomy: removal of the spleen
In addition to these specific surgeries, minimally invasive techniques can also be used for more general surgeries, including:
- Cancer surgery: removal of tumors
- Colon and rectal surgery
- Gastroenterologic surgery, including gastric bypass
- Thoracic surgery, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)
Why it’s done
The 1980s saw the advent of minimally invasive surgery as a reliable and safe method to fulfill the surgical requirements of numerous patients. Over the past two decades, many surgeons have favored it over traditional (open) surgery, which necessitates larger incisions and typically entails a longer hospital stay.

I got recently diagnosed with multiple gallstones and had bad episode of unbearable pain due to same. I met Dr. Prashant who was very humble and patient with my situation, he advised me to go for Cholecystectomy ( Gall bladder removal surgery).

I have known Dr Prashant Kumar for over a decade as a surgeon as well as a colleague. Medical professionals say that no one else can judge a surgeon better than an anesthesiologist. Being one myself, I cannot vouch for Dr Prashant any further than by asserting the fact that I got myself operated by him 10 days back with full confidence and faith in him. As a personality, he is a gem of a person, very kind, helpful, and caring. As an anesthesiologist and a patient, I totally recommend him for any surgical consultation! 🙂
