Our Comprehensive General Surgery Services
At Anupama Hospitals, we provide a wide range of general surgery services designed to address common and complex surgical needs. Whether it’s an emergency procedure or a planned surgery, our surgeons are equipped to handle it with the highest standards of care.
Acute Appendicitis Surgery (Appendectomy)
Appendicitis is a medical emergency that occurs when the appendix becomes inflamed and infected, often causing severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Untreated appendix rupture could result in potentially fatal consequences.
- Appendectomy is the surgical procedure to remove the appendix. It can be performed using laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery or open surgery, depending on the severity of the condition. Laparoscopic appendectomy typically results in less postoperative pain and a faster recovery time.
Anal Fistula Surgery
An abnormal tunnel that develops between the skin around the anus and the anal canal is called an anal fistula. It can cause pain, swelling, and drainage of pus or blood. This condition often results from an infection in the anal glands.
- Fistulotomy is the most common procedure used to treat anal fistulas. It involves the surgical opening and cleaning of the fistula tract to promote healing. In some cases, additional treatments like antibiotics or drainage may be needed.
Bowel Obstruction Surgery
A bowel obstruction occurs when there is a blockage that prevents food, liquids, and gas from moving through the intestines. This can be caused by hernias, tumors, scar tissue, or impacted feces. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation.
- In cases of bowel obstruction, surgery may be necessary to remove the blockage and relieve symptoms. Our surgeons perform both laparoscopic and open surgeries, depending on the cause of the obstruction.
Bowel Perforation Surgery
A bowel perforation is a hole in the wall of the intestine that allows the contents of the digestive tract to leak into the abdominal cavity, leading to peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal lining). This condition is life-threatening and requires immediate surgery.
- Surgery involves repairing the perforation and cleaning the abdominal cavity to prevent infection. Laparoscopy is often used for smaller perforations, while open surgery is required for larger or more complex cases.
Breast Lump Surgery
A breast lump can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign lumps may include fibrocystic changes, cysts, or fibroadenomas, while malignant lumps can indicate breast cancer. If you notice any abnormal growth in your breasts, it is essential to consult a surgeon for evaluation.
- Breast biopsy and lumpectomy are commonly performed procedures to remove or test the lump. If necessary, a mastectomy (removal of the breast tissue) may be performed for malignant lumps.
Gallbladder Stones Surgery (Cholecystectomy)
Gallstones are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder, causing blockages, pain, nausea, and vomiting. If gallstones become symptomatic, the gallbladder may need to be removed.
- The procedure to remove the gallbladder is called a cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common approach, as it involves smaller incisions, leading to quicker recovery times.
Hernia Surgery
A hernia occurs when part of an organ or tissue pushes through an abnormal opening in the muscle or connective tissue. Inguinal, femoral, umbilical, and incisional hernias are common types of hernias that can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort.
- Hernia repair surgery involves pushing the protruding tissue back into place and reinforcing the area with stitches or mesh. This procedure can be done through open surgery or laparoscopy, depending on the location and size of the hernia.
Diabetic Foot Surgery
Diabetic foot complications result from poor circulation and nerve damage in individuals with diabetes, leading to ulcers, infections, and potential gangrene.
- Treatment involves careful wound care, blood sugar control, and sometimes surgical intervention to remove infected tissue and improve circulation. Amputation may be necessary in severe cases.
Lipoma Removal Surgery
A lipoma is a benign fatty tumor that forms beneath the skin. While usually painless, lipomas can grow and cause discomfort if they press against surrounding tissues.
- Lipoma removal surgery is a simple procedure where the surgeon excises the fatty tissue. It is often done under local anesthesia and requires minimal recovery time.
Sebaceous Cyst Surgery
Sebaceous cysts are non-cancerous, closed sacs filled with a cheesy material under the skin. These cysts are usually harmless, but they can become inflamed or infected, causing pain.
- The cyst is removed surgically through a small incision, and the wound is closed with stitches. In some cases, drainage may be performed before removal.
