General Surgery is often considered the backbone of any multi-specialty hospital, encompassing a broad range of surgical procedures that address conditions in various parts of the body. At Purohit Hospital, the General Surgery department is a pillar of strength, equipped with a modern Operation Theatre and staffed by highly experienced surgeons capable of performing a wide spectrum of surgical interventions, including advanced Laparoscopic (Key Hole) surgeries.

The Scope of General Surgery

Despite its name, “General Surgery” is far from limited. It requires extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, intensive care, wound healing, and oncology, among other disciplines. At Purohit Hospital, our General Surgeons are adept at diagnosing and treating conditions that may require surgery in areas such as:

  1. Abdominal Organs: This is a major focus, dealing with organs like the stomach, intestines, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and appendix. Common procedures include appendectomies, hernia repairs (inguinal, umbilical, incisional), gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), and bowel resections.

  2. Endocrine System: Surgeons often manage conditions related to the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands, such as thyroidectomies.

  3. Breast Surgery: This involves both benign and malignant (cancerous) conditions of the breast, from lump excisions to mastectomies.

  4. Skin and Soft Tissue: Removal of cysts, lipomas, abscesses, and treatment of various skin cancers fall under this category.

  5. Vascular Access: Procedures for creating access for dialysis patients.

Emphasis on Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery

Purohit Hospital places a strong emphasis on leveraging modern surgical techniques to benefit patients. A significant aspect of our General Surgery department is the regular performance of Laparoscopic (Key Hole) Surgeries.

  • What is Laparoscopic Surgery? Instead of a large incision, laparoscopic surgery involves making several small incisions (often just 0.5-1.5 cm). A tiny camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments are inserted through these “keyholes,” allowing the surgeon to view the internal organs on a monitor and perform the operation with precision.

  • Benefits: This minimally invasive approach leads to several advantages for the patient:

    • Reduced Pain: Smaller incisions mean less post-operative pain.

    • Faster Recovery: Patients typically have shorter hospital stays and return to normal activities much quicker.

    • Less Scarring: The small incisions result in minimal scarring.

    • Lower Risk of Complications: Often associated with a reduced risk of infection and blood loss.

The Operation Theatre at Purohit Hospital is equipped with modern equipment necessary to undertake any supra-major surgeries, ensuring that even the most challenging general surgical cases can be managed effectively and safely. Our experienced surgical team is committed to providing an End-to-End Care Solution, from initial diagnosis to post-operative recovery, including access to supportive services like Physiotherapy Treatment when needed.
