General Surgery in Chennai

General surgery is a surgical discipline that specialises in diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of conditions that affect the regular functioning of the human body. General surgery exclusively studies all complex facets of the human anatomy, including anatomy, metabolism, physiology, immunology, nutrition, pathology, neoplasia, resuscitation, and intensive care, with a specialised focus on surgically treating abdominal organs.

Under the General Surgery Department at Deepa Hospital, we offer a wide range of services that cater to each aspect of your health. Ranging from immediate emergency services to complex surgical procedures, our expert general surgeons are always ready to work around the clock to assist you in your recovery and well-being.

Conditions treated under general surgery:

Here is a list of common conditions that are treated with general surgery at Deepa Hospital:

Hernia: A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak area of muscle, usually in the abdomen. Our general surgeons can repair hernias by pushing the tissue back into place and reinforcing the muscle weakness.

Gallbladder disease: Gallbladder disease can cause painful and potentially dangerous symptoms, such as gallstones. Our general surgeons can remove the gallbladder to relieve symptoms.

Gastrointestinal disorders: Gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or Crohn’s disease, can cause chronic pain and digestive problems. Our general surgeons perform surgeries to remove damaged or diseased parts of the digestive system.

Cancer: Our general surgeons can perform surgeries to diagnose and treat various types of cancer, such as colon, stomach, liver, pancreatic, or oesophagal cancer.

Thyroid disorders: Overactive or underactive thyroid glands can cause a range of symptoms and health problems. Our general surgeons remove all or part of the thyroid gland to treat these conditions.

Breast problems: Our general surgeons perform a mastectomy (removal of the breast) or a lumpectomy (removal of a portion of the breast) to treat breast cancer.

Obesity: Bariatric surgery is a type of weight-loss surgery performed by our general surgeons. This can help individuals who are severely obese and are unable to lose weight through diet and exercise.

Trauma: Our general surgeons are trained to treat injuries and wounds, such as broken bones or injuries from a car accident. They can also perform surgeries to repair internal injuries, such as damage to organs.

Specialisations of our general surgery:

At Deepa Hospital, our general surgery department specialised in various surgical procedures, which can be classified under the following surgical specialisations:

Trauma surgery: Trauma surgery refers to the emergency or immediate surgery that is performed when it comes to treating a serious blow or an injury that is acute or potentially life-threatening. They are treated immediately, and under our general surgery department, general surgeons take on the responsibility of assisting and performing the emergency procedures and treatments that are required to treat patients who need emergency and critical care.

Laparoscopic surgeries: This is an advanced form of surgery that is performed with a minimally invasive opening in the body. This is often used as an alternative to open-cut surgery on many occasions and is usually opted for by patients as they are more susceptible to quick healing and better recovery.

Colon and rectal surgeries: General surgeons are expertly trained to perform various types of colon and rectal surgeries. These include performing surgery for conditions like inflammatory bowel diseases, surgeries related to cancers in the colon and rectum, and other common conditions like appendicitis, colectomy, and appendicitis.

Endocrine surgeries: Another specialisation of general surgery involves performing various surgeries related to the endocrine glands, which include the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands, among others.

Breast surgeries: General surgeons usually perform breast surgeries for medical or diagnostic purposes. Any form of breast surgery that is not classified as a cosmetic procedure usually falls under the radar of general surgery.

Transplant surgeries: General surgeons are also specialised in performing various kinds of transplant surgeries. These include transplant procedures for both trauma and specialised surgery. They most commonly perform transplant surgeries for the liver, kidney, pancreas, and more.

Surgical oncology: General surgeons tend to perform procedures that are related to the diagnosis, treatment, and removal of oncological tumours.

Cardiothoracic Surgery: This surgery refers to any kind of diagnostic and surgical procedures related to your thoracic cavity, which includes your heart, lungs, or other pleural or mediastinal structures.

Paediatric Surgery: This refers to surgery performed on children. General surgeons are trained to perform paediatric surgery based on the age and condition of the patient.

Common Surgical Procedures: This category includes procedures such as wound repair, hernia repair, and other minor surgeries that are performed on a regular basis.

Be it a minor surgical procedure or major trauma surgery, at Deepa Hospital, our general surgeons are always available around the clock to aid you in your most critical moments. With our team of specialised surgeons and comprehensive range of facilities, we are determined to provide the best medical care that is paralleled with dedicated one-on-one care and support.
