General surgery

General surgery encompasses a wide range of surgical procedures aimed at treating a variety of conditions. Our partner hospitals offer a comprehensive range of general surgery procedures, utilizing the latest techniques and technologies to provide safe and effective treatment options for patients.

Abdominal wall and inguinal hernia repair are two common general surgery procedures. These surgeries involve repairing a hernia, which occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall or groin. The procedure typically involves making an incision near the hernia and placing a mesh to reinforce the weakened area.

Colon, rectum, and anal diseases may require surgical intervention as well, such as in the case of inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, or fecal incontinence. Surgical options may include removal of affected tissue, colostomy, or other procedures aimed at restoring normal bowel function.

Liver, pancreas, and biliary duct surgery are complex procedures that may be necessary for conditions such as liver tumors, gallbladder disease, or pancreatic cancer. These surgeries may be performed through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery.

Thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal gland surgery may also be necessary for a range of conditions such as cancer or hormonal imbalances. These surgeries typically involve removing part or all of the gland, and may be performed using minimally invasive techniques such as robotic surgery.

Interventional surgery involves using minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat a range of conditions, such as cancer, vascular disease, or gastrointestinal disorders. These procedures may include endoscopy, laparoscopy, or interventional radiology.

Robotic-assisted surgery has revolutionized the field of general surgery, providing enhanced surgical precision and reduced recovery times for patients. Using advanced robotics technology, surgeons are able to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy and control, resulting in improved patient outcomes.

Robotic-assisted surgery involves the use of a computer-controlled robot to perform surgical procedures. The surgeon sits at a console and operates the robot's arms, which are equipped with surgical instruments and a high-definition camera. The robot's arms mimic the surgeon's movements, but with greater precision and control.

Robotic-assisted surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery or even laparoscopic surgery. One of the biggest advantages is the ability to perform complex surgeries through small incisions. This results in less pain, scarring, and a quicker recovery time for patients. Additionally, the robot's high-definition camera provides the surgeon with a 3D view of the surgical site, allowing for greater accuracy and precision during the procedure.

Robotic-assisted surgery is used in a variety of general surgery procedures, including hernia repair, gallbladder removal, colon resection, and even bariatric surgery. It is particularly useful in procedures that require fine movements, such as in nerve-sparing surgery for prostate cancer.

With a focus on patient safety and quality of care, these hospitals provide a world-class destination for medical tourism, attracting patients from around the world seeking the latest in medical technology and expertise.
