Keyhole surgery, explained

Smaller incisions. A plan made for you.

Laparoscopic surgery, often called keyhole surgery, uses a few small cuts and a camera instead of one larger opening. For many patients it can mean less pain and a quicker return to normal activity.

A few small incisions

Usually several small cuts instead of one long one.

Often a shorter stay

Some patients go home the same day. Recovery varies from person to person.

Suitability decided at assessment

Keyhole surgery is not right for everyone. Dr. Vaccianna will advise you.

Common questions

Calm answers to real worries.

If your question is not here, ask us. There is no such thing as a silly question before surgery.

Do I need a referral to see Dr. Vaccianna?
+

No. You can book a consultation directly. If your doctor has referred you, bring the referral letter and any recent test results or scans.

Will surgery hurt?
+

Surgery is done under anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the operation. Some discomfort afterwards is normal, and you will be given a plan to manage it. Keyhole surgery can often mean less pain than open surgery.

Can I go home the same day?
+

Many keyhole procedures, such as some hernia repairs and gallbladder operations, can allow you to go home the same day or the next day. It depends on the procedure, your health and how you recover. Dr. Vaccianna will discuss this with you.

Is it safe if I have high blood pressure or diabetes?
+

Many people with these conditions have surgery safely. Your conditions will be checked and managed before any operation. Bring a list of your medications to your consultation.

Can I book for a parent or family member?
+

Yes. Many of our patients are booked by a son, daughter or partner. Use the booking form and tell us who the visit is for.
