Step 1 – Your child will be given general anesthesia. Few slits will be made in the abdomen, each side of the belly and above or below the belly button, depending on the type of surgery.
Step 2 – A tube is put into one of the slits and the abdomen is filled with carbon dioxide to make place for the surgeon to operate.
Step 3 – A small telescope called a laparoscope is put through one of the tubes. A picture of your child’s internal organs is shown on a television screen in the Operating Room.
Step 4 – The surgeon uses the tubes to insert instruments for the surgery.
What happens after Laparoscopy Surgery?
- Your child will wake up in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and he or she may be in the PACU for 1 to 2 hours.
- When your child recovers from the anesthetic, he will be taken back to his room.
- Your child will receive antibiotics and pain medicines, through an IV (intravenous line).
- Your child will be advised to get up and walk around after surgery. This helps to activate the bowels, and help with breathing and blood circulation.
- Your child will be allowed to eat after there are signs that the bowel is working (passing gas, a bowel movement or “growling” sounds in the belly). This is usually a few hours after surgery.
- When allowed to eat, your child will be given clear liquids such as water, fruit punch and broth. If he has no problems drinking liquids, then he will be allowed to have a regular meal.
- Showers are allowed but incision sites should be dried well after the shower. Your child may not go swimming or take tub baths for 2 weeks immediately after surgery.
