General Surgery
జనరల్ సర్జరీ
General surgery covers operations on the abdomen and many common surgical conditions. A surgeon examines you, explains whether surgery is needed or whether other treatment is enough, and discusses the plan with you and your family. Emergency surgical problems are assessed round the clock through the emergency department.
When to consider a consultation
- Gallstones or repeated pain in the upper right abdomen
- A swelling or lump in the groin or abdomen (hernia)
- Piles, fissure or other problems around the anus
- Pain in the lower right abdomen suggesting appendicitis
- A lump, boil or abscess
- A wound that is not healing
These are common reasons people seek care. They do not diagnose a condition. Your doctor decides what applies to you.
Seek emergency care if
- Sudden severe abdominal pain
- A hernia that becomes painful, hard or cannot be pushed back
- Repeated vomiting with a swollen abdomen
- Heavy rectal bleeding or fainting
- Fever with severe pain in the upper right abdomen

Common questions
Do all gallstones need surgery?
Not always. Stones that cause no symptoms may only need observation. Surgery is usually considered when they cause pain or complications.
Will I have to stay in hospital?
It depends on the operation and your condition. The surgeon will explain the expected stay before your procedure.
Is gallbladder surgery different from ERCP?
Yes. ERCP treats stones in the bile duct, while stones in the gallbladder are treated by assessment and, when advised, gallbladder surgery.
