🩺 “As a General & Laparoscopic Surgeon, I often remind my patients that surgery is not just about fixing what is broken — it is about saving lives, preventing complications, and restoring quality of life.

When medical treatment alone is not enough, surgery becomes a vital step towards healing.

It should never be neglected or delayed, because early intervention can make the difference between recovery and long-term illness.

My calling is to provide compassionate surgical care with excellence, so you can live healthier, stronger, and with peace of mind.”

Surgery is not just about the time spent in theatre.

It’s about what happens before — preparing your body and mind — and what happens after, when healing and recovery truly begin.

Dr. M. Nchabeleng, General & Laparoscopic Surgeon, breaks it down with patients in clear and practical terms:

✅ What you should know before surgery
✅ How to manage your recovery
✅ The role of rest, movement, and follow-up care
✅ What to expect during the journey back to health

Because when you understand the process, you can take control of your recovery and make informed decisions with confidence.

Open Surgery vs Laparoscopy
Here’s the difference, side by side:

Scars
Open surgery leaves a larger single scar.
Laparoscopy uses 3–4 small cuts.

Pain
Open surgery may cause more pain during recovery.
Laparoscopy tends to be less painful.

Recovery Time
Open surgery often means a longer hospital stay and time off work.
Laparoscopy usually allows faster healing and return to normal activity.

When Each Is Used
Open surgery is used when visibility or access is limited, or in emergencies.
Laparoscopy is used when the condition allows for a less invasive approach.

Both methods are safe. Both are effective.
But they’re not interchangeable.

We choose based on what gives you the safest, best outcome.

Both have a place.
The right one depends on your body and the condition.

After surgery, many patients say,
“I wish I had asked that earlier.”

Here are questions worth asking before your operation:

• What will recovery at home look like?
• Will I need help after the procedure?
• How long before I can return to work or drive?
• What should I watch for after surgery?
• Who do I contact if something doesn’t feel right?

You don’t need to know everything.
But asking the right questions gives you control.

Write them down. Bring them with you.
This is your body. You’re allowed to understand what’s happening.

Will I be asleep during surgery?

It depends on the type of surgery and your health.

Some procedures need general anaesthesia—you’ll be fully asleep.
Others only need local or spinal anaesthesia—you’ll be awake, but won’t feel pain.

Before any surgery, the anaesthetist and I review your case.
We explain the safest option for you.
You’ll know what to expect before we begin.

You won’t be alone in that room.
We stay with you the whole way.

Common Misunderstanding I Hear Often

Not everyone I see ends up in surgery.

That surprises some people.
Many think seeing a surgeon means you’ll be booked for an operation right away.

Here’s the truth:
My job starts with listening, not cutting.

I look at your symptoms, your scans, your history.
If surgery isn’t needed, I’ll tell you.

If there’s another option, we’ll talk about it.

Sometimes what you need is advice, not a theatre date.

Surgeons don’t only operate.
We guide. We explain. We help you decide what’s best for your body.
