General and Laparoscopic Surgeons
Department of General & Laparoscopic Surgery
General surgery is a medical discipline dedicated to managing a wide range of abdominal surgical conditions, including ailments such as gallbladder stones, appendicitis, hernias, and colorectal issues like hemorrhoids. Additionally, it covers the treatment of thyroid and breast disorders, along with non-cancerous growths such as lipomas and cysts in various body regions. An increasing number of general surgical procedures are now conducted through minimally invasive methods known as laparoscopic surgery.
General Surgery Benefits:
Treatment of a Wide Range of Conditions:
General surgery covers a broad spectrum of medical conditions, including abdominal issues and problems in other parts of the body like the thyroid, breast, and non-cancerous growths.
Life-Saving Procedures:
General surgeons perform surgeries that can be life-saving, such as removing a ruptured appendix or treating cancerous tumours.
Expertise in Surgical Techniques:

Comprehensive Care:
General surgeons often provide comprehensive care, including pre-operative evaluation, surgery, and post-operative follow-up, ensuring continuity of care.
Laparoscopic Surgery Benefits:
Minimally Invasive:
Laparoscopic surgery involves small incisions, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues compared to traditional open surgery.
Faster Recovery:
Patients generally experience shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times, allowing them to return to their normal activities sooner.
Less Pain:
Laparoscopic procedures typically result in less postoperative pain, leading to improved patient comfort.
Reduced Scarring:
Smaller incisions lead to minimal scarring, which is often less noticeable and more cosmetically appealing.
Lower Risk of Infection:
Smaller incisions and reduced tissue exposure can lower the risk of surgical site infections.
Less Blood Loss:
Laparoscopic surgery typically involves less bleeding during the procedure.
Improved Visualization:
Surgeons benefit from high-definition camera systems, providing detailed views of the surgical site.
Quicker Return to Normal Diet:
Patients often resume a regular diet sooner after laparoscopic procedures.
