General Surgery

Comprehensive Surgical Care with a Patient-First Approach

The General Surgery Department at Cardea Superspeciality Hospital provides a wide range of surgical services, focusing on safe, effective, and compassionate care. Our team manages both emergency and planned surgeries, ensuring patients receive timely intervention with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.

While general surgery often addresses common health problems, it also plays an important role in detecting and managing risk factors that may be connected to cardiac health. Many patients who require surgical evaluation also benefit from a preventive heart check at our Cardiology Department.

Scope of General Surgery

Our department offers surgical management for:

·   Hernias (inguinal, umbilical, incisional)

·   Gall bladder diseases (gallstones, cholecystitis)

·   Appendicitis and gastrointestinal conditions

·   Thyroid and soft tissue swellings

·   Breast lumps and minor tumours

·   Haemorrhoids (piles), fissures, and fistulas

·   Abscesses and minor skin lesions

Services and Facilities

At Cardea Superspeciality Hospital, surgical care is supported by:

·   Modern operating theatres with advanced monitoring equipment

·   Pre-operative and post-operative evaluation units

·   In-house diagnostic and imaging support

·   Access to superspeciality care such as Cardiology, Gastroenterology, and Radiology

·   Minimally invasive surgery options for faster recovery when appropriate

Integrated Care with Cardiology

General Surgery and Cardiology may seem like separate disciplines, but in reality, they often intersect. For example:

·   A patient undergoing elective surgery may need a pre-operative cardiac assessment to ensure the heart is strong enough for anaesthesia.

·   Conditions like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension increase both the need for surgical procedures and the risk of heart disease.

·   Post-surgical recovery can be improved through preventive cardiac evaluation, especially in patients with lifestyle-related diseases.

This is why our General Surgery department is closely integrated with our Cardiology Department, offering patients holistic care that prioritises long-term health.

When Should You Consult General Surgery?

You may require a surgical consultation if you experience:

·   Persistent abdominal pain or digestive issues

·   Sudden severe pain in the right side of the abdomen (possible appendicitis or gall bladder problem)

·   Noticeable lumps, swelling, or growths

·   Painful or bleeding piles, fissures, or fistulas

·   Recurrent hernia symptoms

·   Long-standing infections or abscesses

In each of these cases, timely surgical evaluation can prevent complications and ensure faster recovery.

The Role of General Surgery in Preventive Care

General Surgery is not only about operating. It also contributes to early detection and prevention. For instance:

·   A simple hernia repair, if delayed, may lead to serious complications requiring emergency surgery.

·   A gall bladder stone may silently increase infection risks if not treated in time.

·   Repeated digestive complaints may signal underlying cardiac issues such as angina or vascular disease, which require cardiology support.

Through careful evaluation, our General Surgery team helps patients avoid emergencies and remain healthier in the long term.
