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.
Our surgical services cover a variety of common conditions that may require surgical management, including:
Depending on the diagnosis and overall health of the patient, our surgeons may recommend different surgical procedures, including:
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.
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.
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 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, 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.
Before recommending surgery, our team performs a detailed evaluation to understand the patient's condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Proper preparation can help make surgery safer and support a smooth recovery. Depending on the procedure, patients may be advised to:
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.
At Bhargava Hospital, our approach to surgical care combines careful diagnosis, appropriate surgical techniques and personalized patient support. Every treatment plan is developed according to the patient's condition and medical requirements.
