General Surgery

General Surgery

General surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the treatment of injuries, diseases, and deformities through surgical procedures. The surgeons who specialize in this field are known as general surgeons, and they are trained to perform a wide range of surgical procedures, including abdominal surgeries, breast surgeries, colon and rectal surgeries, and endocrine surgeries, among others. At Mehta Hospital, our team of experienced and skilled general surgeons is committed to providing the highest quality of care to our patients.

Abdominal Surgeries

Abdominal surgeries are performed to treat a variety of conditions that affect the organs and tissues in the abdominal cavity. These conditions may include appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder disease, and tumors, among others. Our general surgeons are well-trained in performing laparoscopic surgeries, which involve the use of small incisions and specialized instruments to access the abdominal cavity. This minimally invasive approach results in less pain, less scarring, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional open surgeries.

Breast Surgeries

Breast surgeries are performed to treat a range of conditions, including breast cancer, benign breast lumps, and gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Our general surgeons are experienced in performing both breast-conserving surgeries (lumpectomy) and mastectomy procedures, which involve the removal of the entire breast. We also offer breast reconstruction surgery, which can be performed at the same time as the mastectomy or at a later date.

Colon and Rectal Surgeries

Colon and rectal surgeries are performed to treat conditions that affect the colon, rectum, and anus, including colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and hemorrhoids. Our general surgeons are experienced in performing a range of procedures, including colectomy (removal of part or all of the colon), ileostomy (creation of a stoma to divert waste from the digestive tract), and hemorrhoidectomy (removal of hemorrhoids). We also offer minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries, which result in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.

Endocrine Surgeries

Endocrine surgeries are performed to treat conditions that affect the endocrine glands, including the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. These conditions may include thyroid cancer, hyperparathyroidism, and adrenal tumors, among others. Our general surgeons are experienced in performing a range of endocrine surgeries, including thyroidectomy (removal of part or all of the thyroid gland) and parathyroidectomy (removal of one or more of the parathyroid glands). We also offer minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries, which result in less pain, less scarring, and a faster recovery time compared to traditional open surgeries.

Other Procedures

In addition to the above-mentioned procedures, our general surgeons are also trained to perform a range of other surgical procedures, including:

• Hernia repairs: A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue protrudes through a weakened spot in the abdominal wall. Hernias can be repaired through a range of procedures, including open surgery and laparoscopic surgery.
• Appendectomies: An appendectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the appendix, which is a small pouch attached to the large intestine. This procedure is typically performed to treat appendicitis, which is a condition that occurs when the appendix becomes inflamed or infected.
• Trauma surgeries: Trauma surgeries are performed to treat injuries that result from accidents, falls, or other types of trauma. These surgeries may include procedures to repair broken bones, remove damaged tissue, or stop bleeding.
