General & Laprascopic Surgery

General and Laparoscopic Surgery addresses the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive tract, endocrine system, and soft tissues. It leverages traditional open surgical techniques as well as advanced minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approaches to provide comprehensive surgical care. 

Gastrointestinal Tract: Surgeries for conditions affecting the stomach, intestines, colon, rectum, and anus (e.g., appendectomy, colectomy).

Mothercare Chikitsa Hospital, which is specialised for various surgical procedures, uses the latest technology for –

  • Hepatobiliary System: Procedures on the liver, gallbladder (cholecystectomy), bile ducts, and pancreas.
  • Hernias: Repair of various types of hernias, including inguinal, umbilical, and hiatal hernias.
  • Endocrine System: Surgeries involving the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands.
  • Breast, Skin & Soft Tissues: Management of benign and malignant conditions, including biopsies, lumpectomies, and tumor removals.
  • Trauma & Emergency Surgery: Immediate surgical interventions for critical injuries and acute abdominal pain. 
Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery, often called "keyhole surgery," is a modern technique using small incisions (0.5-1.5 cm) through which a camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments are inserted. 

Key Benefits of Laparoscopy:

Less Pain: Smaller incisions result in significantly less post-operative pain.

Faster Recovery: Patients generally have shorter hospital stays and return to normal activities sooner.

Minimal Scarring: The small incisions lead to reduced visible scars and better cosmetic outcomes.

Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced risk of infection and blood loss compared to traditional open surgery.
