Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery By Dr Lee Kuok Chung

Laparoscopic surgery is also known as “keyhole surgery”. It is minimally invasive as it involves making small incisions through which specialised instruments are used to perform the surgery. This allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with substantially less disruption to surrounding tissues compared to traditional open surgery. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery may be used to treat a variety of colorectal conditions, including colorectal cancer, diverticular disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and bowel obstruction. It is also used for managing benign polyps that cannot be removed via endoscopy.

Laparoscopic colorectal surgery offers numerous benefits. These include reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and minimal scarring.

Candidates for laparoscopic colorectal surgery include patients who want less invasive options, or those who may have underlying conditions that make open surgery riskier.
