GENERAL SURGERY
Minimally Invasive Bowel Procedures
Bowel conditions require special care – laparoscopic techniques enable gentle procedures with rapid recovery.
All bowel operations are performed minimally invasively to shorten recovery time and minimize complications.
The Procedure
Minimally invasive procedures on the small and large intestine. The laparoscopic technique enables resection of diseased bowel segments through small incisions, resulting in less pain, shorter recovery time, and better cosmetic outcomes.
Why This Procedure
Results
Laparoscopic resection of diseased bowel segments with significantly shorter recovery than open surgery.
Adhesions from previous surgeries can be gently released.
Adhesions from previous surgeries can also be released laparoscopically in a gentle manner.
Eligibility
“I perform bowel operations as a matter of principle laparoscopically. The benefits for patients are enormous.”Univ.-Prof. Dr. Gerhard Prager
Frequently Asked Questions
Common indications include diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), bowel polyps, tumors, and adhesions from previous surgeries.
Depending on the scope of the procedure, a laparoscopic bowel operation takes 1 to 3 hours. The hospital stay is usually 3 to 7 days.
Thanks to laparoscopic technique, recovery is significantly faster than after open surgery. Light activities are possible after 2-4 weeks. Dietary intake is gradually increased already during the hospital stay.
