  • Hiatal Hernia

    Part of the stomach pushing up through the diaphragm, often associated with acid reflux.

Gallbladder & Digestive

  • Gallstones (Cholelithiasis)

    Hardened deposits in the gallbladder that can cause pain, indigestion, and blockage of bile flow.

  • Cholecystitis

    Inflammation of the gallbladder, usually due to gallstones blocking the cystic duct.

Anorectal Conditions

  • Anal Fissure

    A small tear in the lining of the anal canal that causes sharp pain and bleeding during bowel movements.

    An abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin, often following an abscess.

  • Pilonidal Sinus

    A small cavity or tunnel near the tailbone that can become infected and painful.

Skin & Soft Tissue

    A soft, benign fatty lump under the skin that may be removed if it grows or causes discomfort.

    A painful collection of pus caused by infection that often requires surgical drainage.

Is general surgery done laparoscopically?
