LAHORE (APP) - The Department of Urology at Mayo Hospital has formally launched state-of-the-art laparoscopic (camera-assisted) surgery, marking a significant advancement in patient care and treatment facilities.
According to a spokesperson of the hospital on Sunday, the introduction of this modern technique will enable doctors to perform complex kidney and bladder procedures without large incisions. This development is expected to ensure minimal pain for patients, faster recovery, and a significantly reduced hospital stay.
Chairman of the Department of Urology, Professor Dr Fawad Nasrullah, stated that the provision of a modern laparoscopic tower and advanced medical system was made possible through the special interest and continuous support of Vice Chancellor King Edward Medical University, Professor Dr Ayaz Mahmood, and CEO Mayo Hospital, Professor Dr Shoaib Nabi.
He added that due to their support, the hospital is now equipped with urological facilities that meet international standards.
The expert medical team working under Professor Dr Fawad Nasrullah includes Assistant Professor Dr. Muhammad Waqas, Dr. Muhammad Umar, Registrar Dr. Mansoor-ul-Haq, Dr. Shah Zaman, and other professionals.
The team recently achieved a major medical milestone by successfully performing a laparoscopic nephrectomy and varicocelectomy on a patient suffering from severe hydronephrosis, involving more than two liters of fluid accumulation in the kidney.
Despite the complexity of the procedure, the patient was discharged the very next day, demonstrating the effectiveness of the advanced surgical approach.
Professor Dr Fawad Nasrullah highlighted that the availability of laparoscopic surgery is a major relief for patients across the province, as it ensures quicker recovery and allows patients to return to their normal routine in a shorter time.
