Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery
Adult & Paediatric Laparoscopic Surgical Care, supported by an advanced 4K ultra-HD system.
Keyhole Surgery with 4K Ultra-HD Clarity
Laparoscopic or “keyhole” surgery is carried out through small incisions using a camera and fine instruments, rather than one large opening.
Pratheep Nursing Home operates as the PSR Superspeciality Adult & Paediatric Laparoscopic Surgical Centre, with minimal access surgery as its core focus. The centre uses a 4K ultra-HD laparoscopic camera system paired with a 55-inch surgical grade monitor, giving the surgical team high clarity during procedures.
Dr. Pratheep Samraj holds FIAGES in laparoscopy alongside DNB qualifications in General Surgery and Paediatric & Neonatal Surgery, so both adult and paediatric laparoscopic work is carried out at the centre.
Whether laparoscopic surgery is suitable for a particular patient depends on their medical condition and evaluation by the treating surgeon. It is not appropriate in every case.
