General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, keyhole surgery or laparoscopic surgery is very minimally invasive and recovery times is really quick but at least 24-hour rest before mobilization and then gradual physical exertions are recommended.

However, Sometimes during the procedure if the surgeon feels unavoidable he may need to open it and if so it will add recovery time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
