At present laparoscopy can be used for virtually any procedure in the abdominal cavity: the only constraints concern available technology and the surgeon’s – or operating team’s – experience.
Laparoscopy is a surgical technique that allows the surgeon to access the site of treatment via small incisions (portals) in the abdominal wall. Through these incisions, the surgeon inserts optical and operating instruments into the abdominal cavity. The laparoscopic technique has a number of advantages: it provides a better view of all abdominal organs, enabling the detection of potential incidental findings (medical issues that have not been identified during the preoperative ultrasound or CT examinations). The image of the organs on which the surgery is performed is substantially enlarged, allowing for higher precision and a more tissue-friendly approach. This shortens the period of convalescence after the surgery and lessens postoperative pain. Laparoscopy also minimizes the likelihood of postoperative complications associated with surgical wounds left by traditional procedures. The risk of herniation in the scar tissue is likewise minimal. Moreover, the laparoscopic technique has considerable cosmetic advantages,” says MUDr. Fraško.
GHC Clinic Prague operates as a single-day surgery center: the patients are admitted, prepared for the procedure and operated on all within a single day. They subsequently spend the night in the post-surgical ward, in the care of a nursing professional and a doctor. On the following day, as soon as their postoperative state permits it, they are released into home care.
The surgeon indicates the required procedure after consulting the client during the preoperative examination. They then agree on the date of the procedure: it usually takes place within one week after the consultation. The vast majority of laparoscopic procedures performed at the GHC Clinic Prague are plastic surgeries of inguinal, diaphragmatic or other types of hernia, gallbladder or appendix removals, diagnostic laparoscopies or adhesiectomies.
“Our operating rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology produced by one of the leading global companies specializing in imaging technology and minimum-invasive surgery,” says MUDr. Fraško.
The surgeons who work for GHC Clinic practise in Prague’s largest university hospitals. Their knowledge and experience, together with the traditionally high standard of inpatient care and patient-centered scheduling that minimizes waiting time, guarantee client satisfaction.
