A minimally invasive surgical option
with your surgeon in control
Home > Robotic Surgery

Are there different kinds of surgery?

Yes. Traditional open surgery, where your surgeon operates through a long incision
(cut), may be the first method that comes to mind. However, you may be a
candidate for minimally invasive surgery, which requires just one or a few small cuts.

Open surgery

Surgeons make incisions large enough to see the entire surgery area and perform the procedure using hand-held tools.

Minimally invasive surgery includes:

Traditional laparoscopic surgery

Surgeons perform laparoscopic surgery using special long-handheld tools while viewing magnified images from the laparoscope (camera) on a video screen.

Robotic-assisted surgery

While the word “robotic” is in the description, a robot doesn’t perform surgery. Your surgeon is the one performing surgery using the Robot and instruments.

Hernia Treatment

Dr. Dutta offers both laparoscopic (keyhole) and open hernia surgeries, depending on the type and severity of the hernia. Laparoscopic repair is minimally invasive and ensures faster recovery. Open mesh repair provides a long-term cure, especially for larger or more complex hernias.

Dr. Ranajoy may also prescribe reconstructive hernia surgery for patients with recurrent or complicated cases. Every treatment is carefully planned to assure safety, long-lasting relief, and the best possible outcome.

If you notice any signs, book an appointment with Dr. Ranajoy Dutta, a trusted Hernia Doctor in Kolkata, for early diagnosis and expert laparoscopy care.

    FAQS

    Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

    How do I know if I have a hernia?

    Look for a bump, discomfort while lifting, or pressure in the abdomen or groin. It often worsens with activity.

    Are hernias dangerous if left untreated?

    Yes. If left untreated, hernias can lead to complications like strangulation, where the blood supply is cut off to vital tissues and require emergency surgery.

    Is hernia surgery the only treatment?

    Yes. Surgery is the only permanent solution. Belts or supports may give temporary relief, but they would not fix the hernia.

    Is laparoscopic hernia surgery safe?

    Absolutely. It’s minimally invasive, with less pain and faster recovery for eligible patients.

    What causes a hernia to form?

    Heavy lifting, chronic coughing, obesity, or muscle weakness from surgery or childbirth can lead to hernias.
