One of the most common questions we get from patients is, “When can I get back to exercise after surgery?”

At Lap Surgery Australia, we specialise in laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, which generally allows for a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.

If you’ve had keyhole surgery, gentle movement is encouraged as soon as you feel able, following your surgeon’s advice. Most patients can gradually return to their usual exercise routine within 4–6 weeks, depending on their procedure and recovery.

Our physiotherapist can help guide you through a safe return to exercise. Get in touch with our team today to book an appointment!

Could robotic surgery help surgeons perform at their best when procedures become more complex?

A new prospective multicentre study contributed to be our surgeon A/Prof Chrys Hensman comparing robotic and laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery found that while overall performance was similar, robotic assistance was associated with:

• Greater task-specific precision in primary procedures
• Fewer incorrect suture placements and missed knot throws
• Reduced surgeon cognitive workload and frustration
• Particularly significant benefits during complex revisional surgery

The researchers also found that the relationship between increasing cognitive workload and reduced technical performance seen in laparoscopic surgery was neutralised in the robotic group.

The findings suggest robotic technology may act as a “performance stabiliser”, helping surgeons maintain technical precision during demanding reconstructive procedures.

Our surgeons are trained in the latest surgical techniques including robotic surgery, call us to book an appointment.

Today is R U OK? Day, a reminder that a simple conversation can make a real difference.

Sometimes it's easy to assume that the people around us are doing OK. But often, we don't know what someone may be going through behind the scenes.

If someone has been on your mind, trust your instinct and reach out.

Ask the question. Take the time to listen. Check in again.

This year's message is simple: Ask R U OK? Any Day.

Because looking out for each other shouldn't be limited to just one day of the year. đź’›

This Women’s Health Week, we’re celebrating women taking steps towards their health, no matter how small.

The theme for Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week 2026 is “Do it anyway” a reminder that looking after your health doesn't have to mean doing everything perfectly.

Maybe it means booking the appointment you've been putting off.

Asking a question you've been wondering about.

Seeking support for a health concern.

Or simply taking the first step towards feeling better.

At LapSurgery Australia, we're proud to support women at every stage of their health journey. We know that health looks different for everyone, and sometimes the hardest part is simply putting yourself on the list.

This week, we encourage all women to make time for their health.
Do it anyway. đź’—

Troubled by reflux or swallowing difficulties?

Sometimes, further testing is needed to understand exactly what’s happening.

At LapSurgery Australia, we offer specialised oesophageal testing, including:

• High-resolution oesophageal manometry – to assess how your oesophagus and swallowing muscles are working.

• 24-hour pH monitoring – to measure acid reflux over a 24-hour period.

These tests can help investigate symptoms such as persistent reflux, heartburn, regurgitation and difficulty swallowing, and provide valuable information to guide your treatment.

If you're experiencing ongoing symptoms, speak with your GP or specialist about whether oesophageal testing may be appropriate for you.

Can we help with reflux? 🤔

Yes! Reflux can be assessed and treated as part of our upper GI surgical service.

Depending on your symptoms, your assessment may include specialised testing such as oesophageal manometry and a 24-hour pH study to understand how your oesophagus is functioning and whether acid reflux is occurring.

For some patients, surgery may be an appropriate treatment option. Our surgeons can assess your symptoms and test results to determine which treatment is most suitable for you.
