TOP MEDICAL SPECIALITIES OFFERED BY FORTIS HOSPITAL, ANANDAPUR, KOLKATA • LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY • TRACHEOSTOMY/ TRACHEOTOMY • TREATMENT OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS • LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY Laparoscopic surgery is a unique technique for performing surgery. In this specialized technique, the surgeon makes two to four tiny incisions called ports. A tube-like instrument known as a trocar is then inserted into each incision. A laparoscope which is a small specialized instrument with a camera, is then passed through the trocars during the procedure. At the start of the laparoscopic procedure, the abdomen is filled with a gas called carbon dioxide to help the surgeon visualize the cavity. The camera in the laparoscope allows the surgeon to watch the abdomen's details on the monitor and perform the surgery. Compared to open surgery, patients who undergo laparoscopic surgery experience less pain, less scarring, and have a shorter recovery time. Various intestinal surgeries can be performed using the laparoscopic technique, including surgery for ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, diverticulitis, cancers, and rectal prolapse. At Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, Kolkata, the laparoscope is inserted through a small incision near the belly button at the beginning of a laparoscopic operation. The surgeon then inspects the abdomen to make sure that the laparoscopic surgery can be performed safely. Once the diseased parts are identified, they are removed by cutting them into small pieces. The instruments are then removed, and the abdomen is closed. You might be asked to stay in the hospital for a few days. Once you are stable, your doctor will discharge you and call you for a follow-up in a few days to check for any complications. • TRACHEOSTOMY/ TRACHEOTOMY Tracheotomy or tracheostomy is the creation of a hole through the front of the neck into the trachea (windpipe), followed by placement of a tracheostomy tube to keep the hole open for breathing.
