Minimally-invasive keyhole surgery for a wide range of colorectal and abdominal conditions.
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery uses small incisions, a camera, and specialised instruments to perform major abdominal operations without a large open cut. Dr. Krishna Pada Saha, trained in advanced laparoscopic technique at the MAX Institute, New Delhi, applies this approach across colorectal and general abdominal surgery wherever it is safe to do so — giving patients less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to daily life.
Not every operation is equally suited to a laparoscopic approach, and forcing keyhole technique onto an unsuitable case can compromise safety. Dr. Saha's training at the MAX Institute, New Delhi — one of the region's leading centres for advanced laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery — means he makes this judgment case-by-case, weighing tumour size and location, prior surgery, and overall fitness, so that the decision to proceed laparoscopically, or to convert to open surgery if needed during the operation, is always made with patient safety as the priority.
Recognising these early can help you seek timely, effective treatment.
Every patient is different — Dr. Saha recommends the safest, least invasive option that will give lasting results.
A clear, step-by-step path from consultation to full recovery.
A detailed history and clinical examination to accurately assess your condition and rule out other anorectal issues.
Based on the severity and your overall health, Dr. Saha recommends the most appropriate — and least invasive — treatment path.
The procedure is performed under local, spinal or general anaesthesia as appropriate, most often on a day-care basis.
Laparoscopic patients typically experience less post-operative pain and a shorter hospital stay compared with equivalent open surgery.

Laparoscopy is offered only when it is genuinely the safer, better option for your specific case.
Smaller incisions translate to less pain and a quicker return to work and daily life.
Willingness to convert to open surgery if needed intraoperatively, always prioritising safety over technique.
Yes — it is now the standard of care for many abdominal operations worldwide, with an excellent safety record in trained hands.
Smaller incisions mean less pain, lower infection risk, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal activity.
Most, but not all — some complex or emergency situations still require conversion to open surgery for safety, which Dr. Saha will discuss beforehand.
Typically 1–4 days depending on the specific procedure, compared to a longer stay with equivalent open surgery.
Most laparoscopic colorectal or abdominal procedures use 3–5 small incisions, usually under 1–1.5 cm each, plus one slightly larger incision to remove the specimen if needed.
It can cost somewhat more than open surgery due to specialised equipment, but this is often balanced by a shorter hospital stay and faster return to work.
