Patient Guide on Laparoscopy
Will I need to visit the hospital again after my laparoscopy?
Depending on the findings of the laparoscopy,you may need to attend the hospital at a later date. This will be discussed with you and the doctor prior to discharge and any necessary arrangements will be made.
What happens when I go home?
When you go home you may experience some period like pain. You should not experience severe pain or have a temperature. It is not uncommon to experience pain in the legs and shoulders. This is nothing to worry about and is caused by any air left in your abdomen dispersing.
