Patient Testimonial for Laparoscopic Removal of Liver Cyst

Liver cysts are noncancerous fluid-filled sacs that occur on the liver. Unless they become large enough to cause symptoms, they are typically asymptomatic.

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny incisions to gain access to the internal organs. This is also known as keyhole surgery.

To access the liver, the surgeon starts the procedure by creating a few tiny incisions in the abdomen. The cyst’s thin wall is then removed, and the fluid is subsequently drained into the abdomen. The cyst’s inside is then cauterised to stop the excessive fluid drainage. The incisions are then sealed.

The patient is monitored in the hospital for another 2 to 3 days and then the dressings are removed. It is recommended that the patient refrain from engaging in any strenuous activities. Due to the surgery’s less invasive nature, recovery is quick. Within a week, the patient can resume his regular activities.
