General Surgery

General surgery is recommended for patients in the case where medication cannot prove to be effective for the treatment of the ailments. The general surgery may include routine and simple procedures performed by a physician or even complicated operative procedures that require skilled medical team in a proper operation theatre. Any disorders affecting the major areas of the body like stomach, liver, intestines, appendix, breasts, thyroid gland, salivary glands, some arteries and veins, and the skin are treated using general surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is also termed as Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), Keyhole surgery, or Pinhole surgery. The surgeries performed in abdominal or pelvic cavities, are carried out using Laparoscope, whereas thoracoscopic surgery is a keyhole surgery performed on the thoracic or chest cavity.

Laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages to the patients as against the traditional surgeries like…

• • Reduced blood loss, diminishing the risk of needing a blood transfusion
  • Smaller incision, lesser pain and faster recovery time
  • Reduced intake of medication to alleviate pain
  • Early discharge from hospital, often on the same day of the procedure
  • Less risk of acquiring infections by controlling the exposure of internal organs to possible external contaminants
