Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic) GI Surgery

Most gastrointestinal surgeries are now performed using laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques, which involve small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments.

Benefits of Laparoscopic GI Surgery:

Pre-Operative Care Instructions (Before GI Surgery)

Before gastrointestinal surgery, patients are advised to:

Undergo blood tests, ECG, imaging, and anesthesia evaluation
Inform the doctor about existing medical conditions (diabetes, BP, heart disease)
Stop blood thinners if advised
Avoid food and water for 6–8 hours before surgery
Stop smoking and alcohol at least 1–2 weeks prior
Follow bowel preparation instructions if required (especially for colon surgery)

Post-Operative Care Instructions (After GI Surgery)

After surgery, proper care ensures faster healing and fewer complications:

Start with liquids, then soft foods, as advised
Take prescribed pain medications and antibiotics
Keep surgical wounds clean and dry
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for a few weeks
Walk early to prevent blood clots
Follow up regularly with your GI surgeon
Seek medical help if you have fever, severe pain, vomiting, or wound discharge

Most patients recover faster after laparoscopic surgery and can return to normal activities within a few days to weeks.
