General Surgery at Bhargava Hospital – Comprehensive Surgical Care

General surgery is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive system, skin, soft tissues and other parts of the body. Surgery may be recommended when medication or other non-surgical treatments are not sufficient.

At Bhargava Hospital, we provide comprehensive surgical evaluation and treatment with a focus on patient safety, accurate diagnosis and personalized care. Our surgical team uses appropriate conventional and minimally invasive techniques depending on the patient's condition and individual requirements.

Conditions Treated with General Surgery

Our surgical services cover a variety of common conditions that may require surgical management, including:

  • Hernia
  • Appendicitis
  • Gallbladder stones and gallbladder disease
  • Piles (Hemorrhoids)
  • Anal fissure and fistula
  • Skin and soft-tissue conditions
  • Lipoma and other benign lumps
  • Abscess and infections requiring surgical drainage
  • Certain abdominal and gastrointestinal conditions
  • Other conditions requiring surgical evaluation

Common General Surgery Procedures

Depending on the diagnosis and overall health of the patient, our surgeons may recommend different surgical procedures, including:

  • Hernia repair surgery
  • Appendectomy for appendicitis
  • Gallbladder removal surgery (Cholecystectomy)
  • Piles and anorectal procedures
  • Abscess drainage
  • Excision of lipoma and other benign lumps
  • Minor skin and soft-tissue procedures
  • Abdominal surgical procedures

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which specialized instruments and a camera are used through small incisions. It can be used for several abdominal procedures, including gallbladder and certain hernia surgeries.

Compared with traditional open surgery, laparoscopic procedures may involve smaller incisions and can offer benefits such as reduced postoperative discomfort and faster recovery in appropriately selected patients. The suitability of laparoscopic surgery depends on the patient's condition and surgical assessment.

Hernia Surgery

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weakened area in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types include inguinal, umbilical and incisional hernias.

Depending on the size, location and symptoms of the hernia, treatment may involve observation or surgical repair. Our surgeons evaluate each patient and recommend the most appropriate approach, including open or laparoscopic repair where suitable.

Gallbladder Surgery

Gallstones and other gallbladder conditions can cause abdominal pain, nausea, indigestion and other symptoms. When surgery is required, removal of the gallbladder, known as cholecystectomy, is a commonly performed procedure.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be considered for suitable patients. Our surgical team evaluates the patient's symptoms, investigations and overall health before deciding on the appropriate treatment approach.

Appendicitis & Appendix Surgery

Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix and may cause pain that commonly begins around the abdomen and may move towards the lower right side. Other symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, fever and loss of appetite.

When appendicitis requires surgery, an appendectomy is performed to remove the inflamed appendix. Depending on the patient's condition, laparoscopic or open surgery may be considered.

Piles, Fissure & Fistula Treatment

Piles, anal fissures and fistulas are common anorectal conditions that can cause pain, bleeding, swelling, itching or discomfort during bowel movements.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the condition. Our surgical team provides evaluation and appropriate medical or surgical management based on individual patient needs.

Diagnosis & Surgical Evaluation

Before recommending surgery, our team performs a detailed evaluation to understand the patient's condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

  • Detailed medical history
  • Physical examination
  • Blood investigations when required
  • Ultrasound and other imaging tests
  • Endoscopic investigations where appropriate
  • Pre-operative fitness assessment
  • Individualized surgical planning

Preparation Before Surgery

Proper preparation can help make surgery safer and support a smooth recovery. Depending on the procedure, patients may be advised to:

  • Complete recommended medical investigations
  • Follow fasting instructions before surgery
  • Inform the doctor about existing medications and allergies
  • Follow instructions regarding medicines before surgery
  • Discuss any existing medical conditions with the surgical team

Post-Surgical Care & Recovery

Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery, the patient's health and the surgical technique used. Our team provides instructions regarding wound care, medications, diet, activity and follow-up visits.

  • Follow prescribed medications
  • Keep surgical wounds clean and protected
  • Follow dietary recommendations
  • Gradually resume normal activities as advised
