Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy

The future of surgery is here, and it is less invasive, more precise, and designed around a faster return to your life. Laparoscopic surgery, often called minimally invasive or “keyhole” surgery, has revolutionized the way we approach a wide range of medical procedures.

At Krown Hospital, our surgical teams are at the forefront of this advanced technique. Instead of a large open incision, laparoscopy uses a few tiny incisions and a specialized high-definition camera to perform complex operations with unparalleled precision. For our patients, this means less pain, minimal scarring, and a significantly quicker recovery.
