Advanced Laparoscopic
Procedures in Kolkata
Complex gynecological surgeries performed through tiny incision. Less pain, minimal scarring, and faster return to normal life. Dr. Vinita Khemani is a master of keyhole surgery with over 608+ successful procedures.
Procedures We Perform
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)
Complete removal of the uterus (and cervix) using precision minimally invasive techniques. This is widely considered the gold standard for hysterectomy, offering less pain, minimal blood loss, and a recovery time of just 1-2 weeks compared to 6-8 weeks for open surgery.
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Surgical removal of uterine fibroids while meticulously preserving the uterus. This procedure is crucial for women wishing to retain future fertility or those who simply want to keep their uterus, removing even large or multiple fibroids safely.
Corrective Surgeries
Specialized repair of uterine anomalies (like septum or bicornuate uterus), tubal recanalization for reversal of ligation, or severe adhesiolysis. These procedures aim to restore normal pelvic anatomy and improve natural fertility potential.
Ectopic Pregnancy
Urgent laparoscopic management of tubal pregnancies to prevent rupture and internal bleeding. Dr. Khemani prioritizes 'salpingostomy' (tube preservation) whenever possible, saving the fallopian tube to protect future fertility.
Ovarian Cystectomy
Precise removal of pathological cysts (Dermoid, Endometriotic, Mucinous) while carefully sparing healthy ovarian tissue. This technique preserves ovarian reserve and hormonal function, which is critical for women of reproductive age.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy
The gold-standard investigation for unexplained pelvic pain, infertility, or suspected endometriosis. It allows for direct visualization of pelvic organs and often permits 'see-and-treat' intervention during the same anesthesia.
Standard of Care
From diagnosis to discharge, we ensure a seamless and supportive experience.
Evaluation
Detailed history and ultrasound to plan the surgery.
Preparation
Pre-anesthesia checkup and counseling.
Surgery
Minimally invasive procedure using latest tech.
Recovery
Rapid mobilization and discharge often in 24hrs.
What is
Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, often called "keyhole surgery" or "minimally invasive surgery," is a modern surgical technique where operations are performed through tiny incisions (usually 5-10mm) instead of large open cuts. A thin telescope with a high-definition camera (laparoscope) is inserted through one incision, providing a magnified view of the internal organs on a monitor.
Specialized instruments are then inserted through additional small incisions to perform the surgery with precision. The surgeon operates while watching the magnified images on a screen, allowing for greater accuracy than what is possible with the naked eye during open surgery. Carbon dioxide gas is used to gently inflate the abdomen, creating a working space for the surgeon.
Dr. Vinita Khemani has performed over 608 laparoscopic procedures across multiple hospitals, ranging from routine diagnostic laparoscopies to complex procedures like Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) for large uteri and laparoscopic myomectomy for multiple fibroids. Her expertise ensures that even complex cases that might traditionally require open surgery are safely handled through minimally invasive techniques.
Considering Surgery?
Most gynecological surgeries that were traditionally done through large abdominal incisions can now be performed laparoscopically. Discuss your options with Dr. Khemani today.

Recovery &
Aftercare
One of the biggest advantages of laparoscopic surgery is the dramatically faster recovery compared to open surgery. Dr. Khemani provides detailed post-operative care instructions and close follow-up to ensure a smooth recovery.
First 24 Hours
Mild abdominal discomfort and shoulder tip pain from residual CO2 gas is normal. You will be mobilized early and encouraged to walk within hours of surgery.
Days 2-7
Gradual return to light activities. Incision sites should be kept clean and dry. Mild painkillers are sufficient for most patients.
Week 2-3
Most patients return to desk jobs and light household work. Avoid heavy lifting (over 5kg) and strenuous exercise.
Week 4-6
Full recovery. Resume all activities including exercise and intimacy (as advised). Follow-up appointment to confirm complete healing.

Questions
Common queries about laparoscopic procedures.
Dr. Vinita Khemani is a leading laparoscopic surgeon, known for her expertise in complex minimally invasive procedures like TLH, myomectomy, and endometriosis excision. She operates at top hospitals including Neotia Bhagirathi Woman and Child Care Centre, Charnock Hospital, and Apollo Clinic Chinar Park.
Advanced laparoscopy offers significant benefits: minimal scarring (tiny 5mm incisions), less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stay (often 24 hours), and a much faster return to daily life (1-2 weeks vs 6 weeks). Dr. Khemani specializes in these minimally invasive techniques.
The cost varies depending on the procedure (e.g., diagnostic vs. operative, hysterectomy vs. cystectomy) and the hospital chosen. Dr. Khemani offers surgical options at multiple hospitals to suit different insurance and budget requirements.
Yes. With advanced morcellation techniques, even large fibroids can be safely removed through tiny incisions. Dr. Khemani has extensive experience in handling complex, large-volume uteri laparoscopically.
Previous surgeries can cause adhesions (scar tissue), but they are not a contraindication. Advanced laparoscopic skills allow for safe adhesiolysis (clearing of scars) to proceed with the surgery.
Duration varies by procedure. A diagnostic laparoscopy may take 30 minutes, while a complex TLH or myomectomy could take 1-3 hours depending on severity.
