Minimally invasive keyhole surgery for gallstones, hernias, liver conditions, colon surgery, and more — by Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu, laparoscopic and GI surgeon in Yelahanka, North Bangalore. Go home sooner, recover faster.
Laparoscopic surgery, also called keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery, replaces large open incisions with small 5–12mm cuts. A thin camera (laparoscope) and slender instruments are inserted through these ports — allowing the surgeon to operate with full visualisation while the patient benefits from dramatically faster recovery.
At Dhaara Liver Clinic, Yelahanka, Dr. Srinivas offers laparoscopic surgery for a wide range of abdominal conditions — from routine gallstone removal to complex liver and colon procedures. Patients from across North Bangalore — Hebbal, Devanahalli, Jakkur, Bellary Road, and Kempegowda Airport corridor — can access this care locally.
Keyhole gallbladder removal for gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), and biliary colic. Same-day or overnight procedure. The most commonly performed laparoscopic operation in Bangalore — and Dr. Srinivas's team offers it in Yelahanka, North Bangalore.
Recovery: home same day or next day. Back to work in 1 week.
Keyhole repair of inguinal (groin) hernia, umbilical hernia, and incisional hernia using mesh (TEP or TAPP technique). Less pain than open hernia repair, faster return to activity, and lower recurrence rate.
Recovery: home next day. Back to work in 1–2 weeks.
Keyhole removal of the appendix for appendicitis. Faster recovery and lower wound infection rate compared to open appendectomy. Available as emergency surgery in Bangalore.
Recovery: home in 1–2 days. Back to normal in 1–2 weeks.
Minimally invasive liver resection for liver tumours, cysts, and selected liver cancer cases. Smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster recovery compared to open liver surgery. A subspecialty skill offered in North Bangalore.
Recovery: 3–5 days hospital. 2–3 weeks at home.
Keyhole colon surgery for colorectal cancer, diverticular disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. Right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, and sigmoid resection performed laparoscopically — faster recovery and equivalent cancer outcomes to open surgery.

Yes. Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu at Dhaara Liver Clinic, Yelahanka performs laparoscopic surgery for gallstones, hernias, liver conditions, colon surgery, appendectomy, and more. Patients from Hebbal, Devanahalli, Jakkur, Bellary Road, and the Kempegowda Airport corridor can access specialist keyhole surgery locally.
Most patients go home the same day or after 1 night. Pain is minimal — typically only mild shoulder discomfort from gas for 1–2 days. Most patients return to desk work within 5–7 days and full activity within 2 weeks. Compared to open cholecystectomy (5–7 days hospital, 4–6 weeks recovery), laparoscopic surgery is dramatically faster.
Open surgery uses a large incision (10–30cm) to directly access the abdomen. Laparoscopic surgery uses 3–4 small cuts of 5–12mm with a camera and thin instruments. Laparoscopic surgery results in significantly less pain, shorter hospital stay (1–3 days vs. 5–7 days), faster return to normal activity (1–3 weeks vs. 4–8 weeks), and minimal scarring — with equivalent or better surgical outcomes for most procedures.
For inguinal (groin) and incisional hernias, laparoscopic mesh repair (TEP or TAPP technique) is generally preferred — it has less post-operative pain, faster recovery, lower recurrence rates for bilateral hernias, and allows both sides to be repaired through the same small incisions in one procedure.
