The department of general surgery believes in innovation as a way to improve surgical care. 

The Best General Surgery Hospital in Nellore

The department of general surgery uses new ways to improve surgical care. In the department, all major procedures for the abdomen, breasts, soft tissues, hernia, thyroid, varicose veins, and haemorrhoids are done.

Services

  • Laparoscopic Surgery: We employ an advanced laparoscopic device for surgical procedures which allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin. Laparoscopic surgery has multiple benefits, such as less postoperative pain, quicker recovery, and a shorter hospital stay.
  • Hernia Surgery: The doctor can remove your hernia in one of two ways, such as open or laparoscopic hernia surgery. A surgical hernia repair involves pushing the bulge back inside the body part that should contain it using mesh and keeping it in the original position. Depending on the size, type, and location of the hernia, surgery will be performed.
  • Gallbladder Surgery: Cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure that is performed to remove the gallbladder. It can be removed in one of two ways, such as laparoscopically or through an open incision. Our surgeon will analyse the condition to plan the best surgery option for you.
  • Intestinal Resections: A bowel resection is a surgical procedure to remove any part of the bowel. This includes the small intestine, large intestine, or rectum. The surgeons perform this surgery to treat diseases and blockages of the large intestine.
  • Appendix Surgery: Our general surgeons perform diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and imaging scans, to learn more about the nature of appendicitis. Appendectomy is the standard surgical procedure for appendicitis, a painful inflammation of the appendix. A ruptured appendix can cause peritonitis, which is a life-threatening complication. Therefore, it must be treated.
  • Splenectomy: A splenectomy is a surgical procedure that partially or completely removes the spleen because of cancer or other diseases. It can be performed laparoscopically or via traditional open surgery.
  • Breast Surgery: A lumpectomy and mastectomy are common surgical procedures performed by our surgeons to remove cancer cells from the breast(s). Lymph node surgery also helps to measure cancer progression. Breast augmentation is also a surgery performed to enhance the appearance, size, and contour of a woman’s breasts.
  • Trauma Surgery: Trauma surgery is a subspecialty of surgery dealing primarily with patients who have undergone a physical injury such as falls, accidents, fractures, or other severe injuries. Our trauma surgeons are highly experienced in treating simple to complex traumatic physical injuries.
  • Thyroid Surgery: Thyroidectomy is the standard surgical treatment to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. This surgery is usually performed by the surgeon to remove goitres and nodules or to treat thyroid cancer.
  • Varicose Vein Surgery: Varicose vein surgery refers to the various surgical procedures for treating varicose veins which are performed under general anaesthesia. Varicose veins most commonly occur in the thighs and calves. The surgery is sometimes done for cosmetic purposes to treat large, visible varicose veins.
  • Stapler Haemorrhoid Surgery: Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is surgery that uses a stapling device to remove hemorrhoidal tissue. During this procedure, the surgeon will open the anus and gently cut out the haemorrhoids.
  • Fissure and Fistula Surgery: The surgeons generally perform a procedure called lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS), which involves cutting a small portion of the anal sphincter muscle to reduce spasm and pain and promote complete healing. During fistulotomy, the surgeon cuts a fistula along its whole length. The surgeon will place a piece of thin surgical thread inside the fistula to help drain any infection and allow it to heal.
  • Endoscopy: The doctor inserts an endoscope directly into the organ to collect tissue samples to diagnose diseases and conditions such as anaemia, pancreatic abnormalities, ulcers, bleeding, inflammation, or cancers of the digestive system.
  • Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that examines the condition of rectum and lower bowel for abnormalities and disease. It allows a physician to see inside the large intestine and other parts of the abdomen.
  • Cystoscopy: A cystoscope is a long, thin optical device that has an eyepiece on one end, a flexible tube in the centre, and a tiny lens and light on the other end. During a cystoscopy, the urologist uses the instrument to examine and get detailed images of the urethra and bladder linings on a computer monitor.
  • Wound Care: Wound care treatments include removing unhealthy tissue, oral medication, as well as topical solutions. We also offer advanced wound care therapies, such as topical wound therapy, growth-factor therapy, tissue therapy, and wound dressing to promote fast healing.
  • Burn Treatment: We employ exposure therapy for second and third-degree burns, which is usually combined with the application of antimicrobial lotions. Occlusive dressings with topical antibacterial agents are used in the treatment of severe burns. An antibacterial ointment or cream can be applied directly to the burnt area to reduce inflammation and infections.
