Treatment & Procedures

Laparoscopic appendectomy

This minimally invasive procedure is generally recommended for removing the appendix from the body. The appendix is a small and thin four-inch long tube that is a part of the gastrointestinal tract.

A lipoma is a fatty and non-cancerous lump that generally causes no symptoms or any serious disorders. Lipomas are situated under the skin and move quite easily under the application of pressure.

Paronychia nail infection is a tender fungal or bacterial nail infection of the feet or the hand. It occurs where the skin and nail meet either at the base or side of the toe or finger nail.

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) involves the use of a thin, hollow needle for removing samples of cells from fluid or tissue in a lump or an organ. This is generally performed for identifying the type of cells inside the lump found in a gland (in the neck like the thyroid gland) or the breast.

Sebaceous Cysts

Sebaceous cysts are painless, small, non-cancerous, slow-growing lumps in the skin. They are mainly found on the neck, face or torso and contain liquid or semi-liquid materials.

A subcutaneous abscess refers to a pocket of pus that occurs below or within the surface of the skin. This bump is full of pus or a thick fluid. It can appear on any part of the body and generally occurs because of a bacterial infection.

An ingrown toe nail is a condition that occurs when the corners or edges of the nails grow into the skin located next to the nail. This condition usually occurs in the big toe.

FAQ's

What happens during the first visit?

Typically, you would approach a general surgeon with a diagnosis in hand. The surgeon examines the details of the case and makes a surgical plan based on scans and imaging. Then a date is set for surgery and any preparation or pre-surgical conditions that need to be met, are explained to the patient.

How risky is surgery?

All surgical procedures carry an inherent amount of risk with them. Some surgical procedures are safer than others, and modern operating rooms are well-equipped to deal with even extreme complications. The surgical risk, however, is amplified by certain medical conditions. Get the finest treatment at the best general surgery hospital in Mangalore.

What happens post-operation?

Depending on the type of surgery, and the nature of the underlying condition that made the surgery necessary, a surgeon will prescribe a period of time where the patient must be under observation. Minimally invasive surgeries heal quite quickly and do not cause much discomfort, larger incisions, however, can take much longer to heal.

Is surgery avoidable?

Surgical procedures are generally not recommended by doctors when there is a safer alternative available. However, sometimes surgery is necessary because it is the most effective treatment available.
