<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLaparoscopic Gastrojejunostomy procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The surgeon initiates the procedure by administering a dose of general anesthesia to relax the pain and reduce the pain and discomfort during the procedure. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n During the laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy, the surgeon makes 4 small incisions in the abdomen. A laparoscope <\/a>is inserted through an incision to view enlarged clear images of the internal organs and abdominal cavity. More surgical tools are inserted through more incisions and the passage is rerouted. A main advantage of laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy is that it enables the patient to have shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery from the surgery. The patient experience less pain and discomfort and have minimal scars and low risk for rise of infections. The surgery takes around 2 to 4 hours. After the laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy, the patient has to follow diet instruction provided by the doctor. This includes consuming oral fluids for few days post-surgery. When the gut adapts to the new connection, mild regular meals can be consumed in small quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. R. Padmakumar performs various cancer surgeries.
