Laparoscopic Procedures
What are Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Procedures?
Laparoscopic Surgery (Keyhole Surgery) represents the pinnacle of modern minimally invasive gynecological surgery. By inserting specialized micro-instruments and a high-definition illuminated camera through miniature incisions (5 to 10 mm), surgeons can treat complex pelvic conditions with microscopic precision while sparing abdominal muscles from large, painful cuts.
At Dr. Deepika Lalwani (Nagwani)'s Clinic in New Kalyani Nagar & Wadgaon Sheri, Pune, we specialize in advanced gynecological laparoscopy. Led by Dr. Deepika Lalwani (MBBS, DGO Mumbai) with over 10+ years of surgical expertise, our keyhole surgical protocols treat ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis with minimal tissue trauma and rapid recovery.
Pre-surgical counseling and comprehensive ultrasound evaluations take place in our private clinic. All surgical procedures are conducted by Dr. Deepika Lalwani personally at premier tertiary hospital operation theaters in Pune equipped with the latest high-definition laparoscopic towers.
Laparoscopic vs. Traditional Open Surgery Comparison
Whenever medically appropriate, Dr. Deepika Lalwani prioritizes keyhole laparoscopy over traditional laparotomy to ensure faster healing, minimal scarring, and lower clinical risks.
Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery
Minimally Invasive • Fast Recovery
Tiny keyhole cuts measuring just 0.5 cm to 1 cm hidden near the navel.
Daycare procedure or brief overnight stay (usually discharged in 24 hours).
Significantly reduced pain; abdominal muscle fibers are gently separated, not cut.
Return to light routines and office work in 3 to 7 days.
Traditional Open Surgery
Invasive Approach • Prolonged Healing
Requires a large 10 cm to 15 cm incision across the abdominal wall.
Requires 3 to 5 days of inpatient hospital admission.
Higher pain levels requiring strong intravenous analgesics and bed rest.
Requires 4 to 6 weeks of resting for muscle layer healing.
Gynecological Conditions Treated via Laparoscopy
Our advanced keyhole surgical techniques address benign uterine and ovarian pathologies while preserving reproductive potential.
Ovarian Cystectomy
Precision microsurgical excision of benign, dermoid, or endometriotic cysts while preserving healthy ovarian cortical tissue to safeguard reproductive reserve.
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Removal of symptomatic subserosal and intramural uterine fibroids causing pelvic pressure or menorrhagia, meticulously reconstructing the uterine myometrium.
Endometriosis Excision & Adhesiolysis
Carefully excising deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis implants and freeing peritoneal adhesions to alleviate chronic menstrual pain and dyspareunia.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy & Dye Test
High-definition visual survey of the pelvic cavity paired with methylene blue chromotubation to definitively assess fallopian tube patency in unexplained infertility.
Our Pre-Surgery Preparation & Recovery Guidelines
Systematic pre-operative assessment ensures surgical safety and promotes rapid postoperative healing.
Pre-Operative Anesthetic Profiling
Mandatory blood profile (CBC, coagulation markers, viral screens), 12-lead ECG, and chest X-ray to establish complete anesthetic fitness.
Fasting & Bowel Preparation
Strict 6 to 8-hour nil-by-mouth protocol prior to general anesthesia, accompanied by gentle bowel cleansing to optimize pelvic visualization.
Post-Op Rest & Early Ambulation
Light walking within 6 to 12 hours post-surgery to disperse residual CO2 gas, followed by 3 to 7 days of restful recovery at home.
The Laparoscopic Surgical Journey Step-by-Step
A structured surgical roadmap from general anesthesia and CO2 insufflation to micro-port repair and cosmetic closure.
Every treatment and procedure at our clinic is performed with the highest standards of safety, compassion, and clinical expertise. Dr. Deepika Lalwani ensures each step of your journey is carefully monitored and optimized for the best possible outcomes.
Expert Guidance
From your initial consultation through recovery, our dedicated team is here to support you with personalized care, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind at every stage.
Step 1: General Anesthesia & Sub-Umbilical Port Entry
Under general anesthesia, a discreet 5 to 10 mm incision is made inside the natural crease of the navel (belly button).
Step 2: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Insufflation
Medical-grade CO2 gas is introduced gently into the abdominal cavity, creating a dome-like workspace that separates the abdominal wall from internal organs.
Step 3: High-Definition Laparoscopic Camera Insertion
A miniature camera rod illuminates and magnifies the pelvic anatomy 10x to 15x on ultra-HD screens, providing unprecedented surgical clarity.
Step 4: Precision Micro-Surgical Intervention & Closure
Using 1 to 2 micro-ports (5mm), cysts or fibroids are dissected and removed. The gas is evacuated and incisions are closed with dissolvable cosmetic sutures.

Frequently Asked Questions
In Pune, diagnostic laparoscopy and chromotubation (for fertility assessment) typically ranges from ₹35,000 to ₹55,000 in daycare. Major operative laparoscopic procedures—such as ovarian cystectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy (fibroid removal), or total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH)—range from ₹55,000 to ₹1,10,000 depending on surgical complexity, hospital room category, and daycare vs. overnight hospital stay. Cashless medical insurance is accepted at all partner hospitals.
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery offers dramatically smaller incisions (5–10 mm vs. 10–15 cm), minimal blood loss, significantly less post-operative pain, lower infection risks, barely visible cosmetic scars, and a rapid recovery time of 3 to 7 days compared to 4 to 6 weeks for open surgery.
Laparoscopy treats ovarian cysts (cystectomy), uterine fibroids (myomectomy), pelvic endometriosis, tubal blockages, ectopic pregnancies, adenomyosis, pelvic adhesions, and complete hysterectomy (TLH).
During keyhole surgery, carbon dioxide (CO2) is used to inflate the abdomen for clear visualization. Small amounts of residual gas can temporarily stimulate the diaphragmatic phrenic nerve, causing mild referred shoulder discomfort that resolves naturally within 24 to 48 hours.
Most diagnostic and minor laparoscopic procedures are performed on a daycare basis, allowing you to return home the same day. For more complex surgeries like myomectomy or total laparoscopic hysterectomy, an overnight stay of 24 hours is standard.
Pre-surgical planning, diagnostics, and post-operative reviews occur at our New Kalyani Nagar clinic. Surgeries are personally performed by Dr. Deepika Lalwani at premier partner tertiary hospital operating suites in Pune equipped with advanced HD laparoscopy towers.
