General Surgery

General Surgeries include a wide range of surgical procedures that address various medical conditions.

Recovery times can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the surgery, the patient’s overall health, and adherence to post-operative care guidelines. It is essential for patients to follow their surgeon’s instructions for a successful and timely recovery.

Some common type of surgeries included in the General Surgery Division are:

Appendectomy: Removal of the appendix, often due to inflammation (appendicitis)

Cholecystectomy: Removal of the gallbladder, often performed to treat gallstones.

Hernia Repair: Correction of hernia, which is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weakened muscle or connective tissue.

Thyroidectomy: Removal of part or all of the thyroid gland, commonly performed for thyroid cancer or other thyroid disorders.

Breast Surgery: Various procedures for the treatment of breast conditions, including lumpectomy, mastectomy, and breast reconstruction.

 

Laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery, is a surgical technique that involves making small incisions through which a thin, flexible tube with a camera (laparoscope) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. This approach is commonly used in various general surgical procedures, offering several advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times. Laparoscopic procedures generally result in less pain, reduced scarring, and a quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery. However, individual recovery experiences may vary, and it’s essential for patients to follow post-operative care instructions provided by their healthcare team.

Here are some general laparoscopic surgeries:

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Removal of the gallbladder using small incisions, typically performed for gallstones or gallbladder-related issues.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Removal of the appendix through small incisions, often performed for acute appendicitis.

Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: Repair of hernias using small incisions and a mesh to reinforce the weakened area.
