Surgical Specialities

General Surgery

The Department of General Surgery deals with a range of surgical ailments and emergencies. Well trained surgeons in our hospital deal with complex abdominal surgeries and trauma cases. Most abdominal surgeries are performed through laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). Backing this team of highly skilled surgeons are trained nurses and technicians, and state-of-the-art operation theatres equipped with the latest technology. All surgical emergencies are first assessed  in department of emergency and later operated if required. Well equipped HDU (High Dependency Units) and ICUs help in better  post operative management.

Laparoscopic / G I Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is performed through small incisions. A telescope with a video camera inserted through one incision provides visualization of the operation on a TV monitor. Surgical instruments are then passed through additional small incisions, and the entire operation takes place completely within the patient’s body. When the telescope is used to operate on the abdomen, the procedure is called laparoscopy. When used in the chest, the procedure is called thoracoscopy.
