Conditions We Treat

Condition	What It Involves	Treatment Approach
Abdominal Pain	Sudden or chronic pain with an underlying cause that needs to be identified	Accurate diagnosis and effective, targeted treatment
Appendix	Inflammation of the appendix, often causing lower right abdominal pain	Laparoscopic appendectomy
Gall Bladder Stones	Stone formation in the gallbladder, often causing pain after meals	Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Piles \| Fissure \| Fistula	Common anorectal conditions causing pain, bleeding, or discomfort	Laser treatment for lasting relief

Tumour	Abnormal growths that need to be characterized before treatment	Accurate diagnosis and surgical removal
Laparoscopic Surgery	A minimally invasive approach applicable across many of the above conditions	Smaller incisions, faster recovery

Laparoscopic surgery replaces one large incision with a few small ones, guided by a camera.

Why Minimally Invasive Surgery Is Preferred

Smaller incisions: Just a few small cuts instead of one large one, meaning less scarring.
Less pain: Reduced tissue trauma generally means a more comfortable recovery.
Shorter hospital stay: Many laparoscopic procedures are done as day-care surgery.
Faster return to routine: Most patients resume light activity within days rather than weeks.
Lower infection risk: Smaller wounds mean less exposure and typically quicker healing.

When to See a General Surgeon

It's easy to put off a consultation, hoping symptoms will pass on their own. Consider booking an evaluation if you notice:

Abdominal pain that is severe, persistent, or comes with fever or vomiting
A visible bulge or swelling in the abdomen or groin that gets bigger with straining
Bleeding, pain, or discomfort during bowel movements
A new lump anywhere in the breast or body that doesn't go away
Pain that worsens after eating, particularly in the upper right abdomen

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions does a general surgeon treat?

General surgeons manage a wide range of abdominal and soft-tissue conditions, including gallbladder stones, hernias, appendicitis, abdominal pain, breast lumps, tumours, and anorectal conditions such as piles, fissures, and fistulas — diagnosing the cause and recommending medical or surgical treatment as needed.

What is laparoscopic surgery and why is it preferred?

Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and a camera-guided instrument instead of one large cut, which generally means less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal activities compared with open surgery.

How do I know if my abdominal pain needs surgical evaluation?

Persistent, severe, or recurring abdominal pain — especially with fever, vomiting, or pain that worsens with movement — should be evaluated by a surgeon to rule out conditions like appendicitis, gallbladder stones, or a hernia.

When should I see a doctor about piles, fissures, or fistulas?

Symptoms such as bleeding during bowel movements, pain, itching, or a persistent lump near the anus are reasons to seek an evaluation. Many of these conditions respond well to laser treatment with minimal downtime.

Are breast lumps always something serious?

No, most breast lumps are benign, but any new or persistent lump or pain should be evaluated by a surgeon to confirm what it is and rule out anything that needs further treatment.
