Laparoscopic & Minimally Invasive Surgery
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is performed through several small incisions using a camera and long, thin instruments instead of one large incision. It is one form of minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Naser Dib's CV names laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery as a core specialisation, and since 2011 he has taught in minimally invasive colorectal surgery workshops.
Laparoscopic or open surgery: what is the difference?
Both approaches can perform the same operation inside the body; the difference is how the surgeon gains access. For many patients, smaller incisions can mean less pain and a shorter hospital stay, but laparoscopy is not suitable for everyone. During any laparoscopic operation, the surgeon may decide to convert to open surgery for safety.
Enhanced recovery after surgery
Enhanced recovery programmes combine preparation before surgery, careful anaesthesia and pain control, and early eating and walking afterwards. They are designed to support recovery; individual results vary.
