In the case of a diagnostic laparoscopy, you may be able to go home the day of your surgery. Usually, if an operative laparoscopy is anticipated you would be counselled that you may need one night in hospital.
The downtime after laparoscopic surgery will also depend on the amount of surgery performed. It may depend on what activity you need to do after surgery. In general, you may require up to 2 weeks off any work or strenuous exercise following a laparoscopic procedure.
