The General & Laparoscopic Surgery department performs both planned and emergency operations. Wherever it is safe, procedures are done laparoscopically through small key-hole incisions, which generally means less pain after surgery, a smaller scar and an earlier return to work than open surgery.
Operations are carried out in modular theatres with laminar air flow and HEPA filtration, and intensive care is available on site for patients who need closer monitoring afterwards.

Questions patients ask
How soon can I go back to work after laparoscopic surgery?
For a routine key-hole gallbladder or hernia repair, many people manage desk work within one to two weeks and heavier physical work after four to six weeks. Your surgeon will give you a figure for your own operation and job, since it depends on the procedure and how it goes.
Is key-hole surgery always possible?
No. The surgeon may need to convert to an open operation if there is dense scarring from previous surgery, severe inflammation, bleeding, or unclear anatomy. That decision is made for safety during the operation and is discussed with you beforehand as a possibility.
Can emergency surgery be done at night?
Yes. The operation theatres, anaesthesia cover, laboratory, blood investigations and ICU are available 24 hours a day, so emergency abdominal and trauma surgery is not held over until morning.
What tests do I need before a planned operation?
Usually blood counts, blood sugar, kidney and liver function, blood grouping, an ECG, a chest X-ray and an ultrasound relevant to the condition. All of these are done in-house, and the anaesthetist reviews them before fixing a date.
Will a biopsy be examined here?
Yes. Histopathology is available in the hospital, so tissue removed at surgery is processed and reported without being sent to an outside laboratory.
