General Surgery

Overview

The General Surgery Department provides expert care for a wide range of surgical conditions affecting various parts of the body, including the abdomen, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and soft tissues. With a focus on accuracy, safety, and patient comfort, the department handles both elective and emergency surgeries, employing modern diagnostic tools and minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. From simple procedures like removal of cysts to complex operations involving the liver, intestines, or gallbladder, every case is managed with precision and individual attention. Pre-operative evaluation is thorough, and surgical planning is carried out in close collaboration with anesthesiologists and diagnostic specialists to ensure optimal outcomes.

The department is equipped with advanced operation theatres and post-operative care units that meet high standards of sterility and safety. Surgeons here routinely perform laparoscopic (keyhole) surgeries, which reduce hospital stays, minimize pain, and promote faster recovery compared to traditional open surgeries. Conditions such as hernias, appendicitis, gallstones, and abdominal tumors are often treated using minimally invasive techniques. Special emphasis is placed on managing surgical complications and ensuring smooth recovery through vigilant monitoring, infection control, and structured post-operative rehabilitation. The surgical team also includes highly trained nurses and technicians, all dedicated to supporting patients throughout their surgical journey.

In addition to core general surgery procedures, the department works closely with other specialties like gastroenterology, oncology, and endocrinology to address more complex conditions. This collaborative, multidisciplinary approach enables holistic care for patients with conditions like thyroid nodules, breast lumps, gastrointestinal cancers, and metabolic disorders requiring surgical intervention.
