Advanced care with smaller incisions
Minimal access surgery is designed to provide effective treatment while reducing the physical impact of surgery. Smaller incisions can mean less postoperative discomfort, minimal scarring and a quicker recovery for suitable patients.
Your procedure and recovery plan will depend on your condition, medical history and the type of surgery required.
Frequently asked questions
Will there be a big scar?
No. Laparoscopic surgery generally involves only 3–4 small keyhole incisions of around 5–10 mm, which usually fade significantly as they heal.
How soon can I resume work?
Most women can resume light routine work in about a week, depending on the procedure and individual recovery.
How long will I need to stay in the hospital?
Many patients can go home within 24–48 hours, although the exact hospital stay depends on the procedure and your recovery.
