30 Years of Surgical Excellence: Why Dr. Radhika Baskar is a Leader in Laparoscopic Care

When you are told you need surgery, the first instinct is often a mix of anxiety and a dozen questions about recovery. "How long will I be away from work?" "Will there be a large scar?" "How much pain should I expect?" In the past, abdominal surgery meant large incisions and weeks of bed rest. However, the medical world has shifted, and at the forefront of this change in South Chennai is Dr. Radhika Baskar.

For those seeking Lap surgery in Adambakkam , the choice of surgeon is the most critical factor in ensuring a smooth recovery. With over 32 years of experience in obstetrics, gynecology, and advanced laparoscopic techniques, Dr. Radhika Baskar has transformed G.R. Hospital & Fertility Centre into a center of excellence for minimally invasive procedures.

The Evolution of the "Keyhole" Approach

Laparoscopy, often called "keyhole surgery," is a modern surgical technique where operations are performed through tiny incisions (usually 5-10mm) rather than the large openings used in traditional surgery. A slender tube with a high-definition camera, known as a laparoscope, allows the surgeon to see the internal organs on a monitor with incredible clarity.

At G.R. Hospital, we have embraced this technology not just as an alternative, but as the primary standard of care. Whether it is removing fibroids, treating endometriosis, or performing a hysterectomy, the goal is always the same: maximum precision with minimum trauma to the body.

Why Experience Matters in Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a highly skill-dependent field. Because the surgeon is operating while looking at a screen rather than directly at the tissue, it requires a refined sense of "hand-eye coordination" and years of tactile experience.

This is where Dr. Radhika Baskar’s legacy shines. Having trained at the prestigious National University of Singapore in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and laparoscopic methods, she brings a global perspective to Lap surgery in Adambakkam . Over the last three decades, she has performed thousands of successful surgeries, ranging from simple diagnostic checks for infertility to complex operative laparoscopies.

When you choose an experienced leader, you aren't just paying for a procedure; you are paying for the thousands of hours of expertise that allow a surgeon to navigate complex anatomy with total confidence.

Patient-First Benefits: Why Go "Lap"?

For patients at G.R. Hospital & Fertility Centre, the benefits of choosing laparoscopic care over open surgery are life-changing:

• Faster Recovery:Most patients undergoing Lap surgery in Adambakkam are back on their feet within 24 to 48 hours. Many procedures are even performed as "Day Care," meaning you can return home the same evening
• Minimal Scarring:Since the incisions are the size of a buttonhole, the resulting scars are almost invisible once healed. This is a significant cosmetic advantage for many women.
• Reduced Post-Op Pain:Smaller incisions mean less damage to the abdominal muscles and skin nerves, leading to a much more comfortable recovery period with fewer painkillers.
• Higher Accuracy:The magnification provided by the laparoscope allows Dr. Radhika to see fine details that might be missed by the naked eye, leading to more thorough treatment of conditions like endometriosis.
