Minimal Access Surgery & Endoscopy at Shridha Hospital & Research Institute
Modern surgical care has transformed significantly with the advancement of minimally invasive techniques. Minimal Access Surgery (MAS) and Endoscopy allow surgeons to diagnose and treat various medical conditions through small incisions or natural body openings, resulting in reduced pain, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and improved patient outcomes.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, the Department of Minimal Access Surgery & Endoscopy provides advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using modern technology and evidence-based surgical techniques. Our experienced surgeons, gastroenterologists, gynecologists, pulmonologists, urologists, pediatric surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and trained support teams work together to deliver safe, precise, and patient-centred care.
From laparoscopic abdominal procedures and hysteroscopy to advanced endoscopic investigations and pediatric minimally invasive surgeries, our aim is to provide effective treatment with minimal discomfort and faster recovery. Every patient undergoes detailed evaluation to determine the most appropriate procedure based on their medical condition and individual requirements.
Minimal Access Surgery – An Overview
Minimal Access Surgery is a modern surgical approach in which procedures are performed through small incisions using specialized instruments and high-definition cameras. Unlike traditional open surgery, minimally invasive techniques reduce tissue damage while allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater precision.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, minimal access procedures are performed using advanced equipment and specialized surgical expertise to ensure optimal safety and outcomes.
Advantages of Minimal Access Surgery include:
- Smaller surgical incisions
- Reduced postoperative pain
- Lower risk of wound complications
- Less blood loss
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to normal activities
- Improved cosmetic results
- Reduced recovery time
Our surgical team carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether a minimally invasive approach is suitable and beneficial.
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is one of the most widely used minimal access surgical techniques. It involves inserting a thin camera-equipped instrument through small abdominal incisions, allowing surgeons to view and operate inside the abdomen with high precision.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, laparoscopic surgery is performed for various abdominal and gynecological conditions, providing patients with effective treatment and faster recovery.
Laparoscopic procedures include:
- Laparoscopic gall bladder surgery (Cholecystectomy)
- Hernia repair
- Appendix surgery
- Diagnostic laparoscopy
- Ovarian cyst surgery
- Endometriosis treatment
- Laparoscopic hysterectomy
- Adhesiolysis
- Management of abdominal conditions
The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include minimal scarring, reduced pain, early mobility, and quicker discharge compared to conventional surgery in suitable cases.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat conditions affecting the uterus. A thin camera called a hysteroscope is inserted through the natural vaginal passage to visualize the inside of the uterine cavity without external surgical cuts.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, hysteroscopy is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in gynecological care.
Hysteroscopy may help diagnose and treat:
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Uterine polyps
- Submucous fibroids
- Infertility-related uterine abnormalities
- Uterine adhesions
- Retained intrauterine tissue
- Endometrial evaluation
As a minimally invasive procedure, hysteroscopy generally offers faster recovery, less discomfort, and improved patient convenience.
Thoracoscopy
Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat conditions affecting the chest cavity, lungs, and pleural space. It involves inserting a small camera through tiny chest openings to provide detailed visualization and allow precise surgical intervention.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, thoracoscopic procedures are performed with careful coordination between surgeons, pulmonologists, anaesthesiologists, and critical care specialists.
Thoracoscopy may be used for:
- Pleural disease evaluation
- Fluid drainage procedures
- Pleural biopsy
- Lung lesion assessment
- Management of chest conditions
- Diagnostic evaluation of unexplained chest problems
Thoracoscopic techniques can reduce postoperative discomfort and support quicker recovery compared to traditional chest surgery.
Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy is an endoscopic procedure used to examine the urinary bladder and urethra using a specialized camera instrument called a cystoscope. It allows direct visualization of the urinary tract and helps diagnose and treat various urological conditions.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, cystoscopy is performed for accurate diagnosis and management of urinary tract disorders.
Cystoscopy services include evaluation of:
- Blood in urine (Hematuria)
- Urinary tract abnormalities
- Bladder stones
- Bladder tumors
- Recurrent urinary infections
- Urethral problems
- Urinary obstruction
Advanced endoscopic techniques help provide accurate diagnosis while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.
Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy is an advanced endoscopic procedure used to examine the airways and lungs. A flexible camera is introduced through the nose or mouth to visualize the respiratory passages and identify abnormalities.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, bronchoscopy is performed by trained specialists using modern equipment and appropriate patient monitoring.
Bronchoscopy may be performed for:
- Evaluation of chronic cough
- Breathing difficulties
- Unexplained lung infections
- Airway obstruction
- Lung lesion evaluation
- Collection of samples for diagnosis
- Foreign body removal
Bronchoscopy helps doctors obtain accurate information about lung conditions and plan effective treatment strategies.
Upper GI Scopy (Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)
Upper GI Scopy, also known as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy or gastroscopy, is a procedure used to examine the upper digestive tract, including the food pipe (esophagus), stomach, and first part of the small intestine.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, Upper GI Scopy helps diagnose and manage various digestive disorders with precision.
Upper GI Endoscopy is useful for:
- Acidity and reflux disease
- Difficulty swallowing
- Stomach ulcers
- Gastritis
- Upper gastrointestinal bleeding
- Unexplained abdominal pain
- Detection of growths or abnormalities
- Biopsy collection
The procedure allows early diagnosis and timely management of gastrointestinal diseases.
Lower GI Scopy (Colonoscopy)
Lower GI Scopy, commonly known as colonoscopy, is an endoscopic procedure used to examine the large intestine and rectum. It plays an important role in diagnosing intestinal disorders and screening for colorectal diseases.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, colonoscopy is performed using advanced equipment and patient-focused care protocols.
Colonoscopy helps evaluate:
- Chronic abdominal pain
- Blood in stool
- Changes in bowel habits
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Colon polyps
- Colorectal cancer screening
- Unexplained anaemia
- Intestinal inflammation
Early detection through colonoscopy can help prevent serious complications and improve treatment outcomes.
Pediatric Surgery Through Minimal Access Techniques
Children require specialized surgical care because their anatomy and physiology differ from adults. Pediatric minimal access surgery provides effective treatment with smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery for young patients.
At Shridha Hospital & Research Institute, pediatric surgeons use advanced techniques whenever appropriate to treat congenital and acquired surgical conditions in children.
Pediatric minimally invasive procedures include:
- Laparoscopic hernia repair
- Appendix surgery
- Congenital anomaly correction
- Diagnostic laparoscopy
