Understand your options

Why laparoscopic & robot-assisted, wherever possible

The right approach depends on your specific case — Dr. Avinash Tank will recommend the least-invasive option that is safe and effective for you.

Open surgery

A traditional larger incision. Still sometimes necessary for very complex, recurrent or emergency cases where laparoscopic access isn't safe.

Laparoscopic

Small cuts, a camera and fine instruments — less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal life. Our default approach wherever clinically possible.

Robot-assisted

3D HD vision and wristed instruments for extra precision in complex or narrow-access surgery — available for suitable cases at Dwarika Hospital — Gastro, Bariatric & Laparoscopic Surgery Center.

After your procedure

Recovery, diet & exercise

Exact timelines depend on your specific procedure, health and how it's performed — laparoscopic techniques generally mean less pain and a faster return to normal life. Your surgeon will confirm what to expect for your case during consultation.

Recovery

Most laparoscopic procedures are day-care or short-stay, with a gradual return to light activity within days rather than weeks.

Diet

A staged, doctor-guided diet plan supports healing — specific dietary advice is given after your procedure, tailored to what was done.

Exercise & activity

Light walking is usually encouraged early; more strenuous exercise, driving and office work resume gradually as advised at your follow-up.
