FAQs
It depends on the type of surgery. Minor procedures may be done as day care, while more complex surgeries may require a short hospital stay for monitoring and recovery.
Your surgeon will assess your condition and overall health to decide if a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approach is suitable for you.
You will receive detailed pre-operative instructions, which may include fasting, stopping certain medications, and completing necessary tests before the procedure.
Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery, your overall health, and the technique used. Laparoscopic surgeries often allow faster recovery compared to open surgeries.
Patient safety is our top priority. We follow strict sterilization protocols, use advanced equipment, and have trained staff to ensure safe surgical outcomes.
