A General Surgeon diagnoses and treats a wide range of conditions affecting the digestive system, abdominal organs, thyroid gland, skin, and soft tissues through surgical and non-surgical approaches.

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed through small incisions using specialized instruments and a camera, resulting in faster recovery and less postoperative pain.

Gallbladder surgery is commonly recommended for symptomatic gallstones, recurrent gallbladder inflammation, or complications affecting digestion and overall health.

A colorectal surgeon manages diseases affecting the colon, rectum, and anus, including colorectal cancer, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, fistulas, diverticular disease, and colon polyps.

A colonoscopy helps diagnose colorectal conditions, investigate symptoms such as bleeding or changes in bowel habits, and screen for colorectal cancer and polyps.

Hernia repair may be recommended when symptoms cause discomfort, the hernia enlarges, or there is a risk of complications such as obstruction or strangulation.
