What is General & Laparoscopic Surgery?
General surgery is a comprehensive surgical specialty addressing conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive system, breast, endocrine glands, skin, and soft tissues. General surgeons are trained in both traditional open surgery and modern minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, providing comprehensive surgical care for a wide range of conditions.
Laparoscopic surgery, often called "keyhole surgery," represents a revolutionary advancement in surgical care. Instead of large incisions, surgeons make small punctures through which specialized instruments and a camera are inserted, allowing complex procedures to be performed with minimal tissue trauma. This approach translates to less pain, smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery.
When Should You Consult a General Surgeon?
If you're experiencing any of these signs or symptoms, consult our surgical team promptly:
- Symptoms of gallstones (upper right abdominal pain after eating)
- Hernia causing pain, discomfort, or visible bulge
- Persistent symptoms of appendicitis
- Bleeding, pain, or discomfort from hemorrhoids (piles)
- Anal fissure or fistula symptoms
- Breast lumps or changes
- Varicose veins
- Pilonidal sinus with pain or drainage
- Small lumps or cysts in any area of body, requiring removal
- Abscess requiring drainage
- Gastrointestinal cancer, requiring surgical treatment
- Trauma or acute surgical emergency
What Are the Risks of Delaying Surgical Treatment?
Chronic Pain and Reduced Quality of Life
Untreated hemorrhoids, fissures, and hernias cause persistent pain, bleeding, and limitation of daily activities.
Disease Progression and Complications
Conditions like gallstones can progress to acute cholecystitis, pancreatitis, or bile duct obstruction—life-threatening complications requiring emergency surgery with higher risks. Hernias can incarcerate or strangulate, cutting blood supply to trapped intestines. Early elective surgery is safer than emergency surgery for complications.
Cancer Progression
Delaying breast lump and thyroid nodule evaluation or ignoring chronic gastrointestinal symptoms risks should not be ignored, as they may progress into cancer at times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Which is the best general and laparoscopic surgery hospital near me?
Healing Hospital is recognized as a leading center for general and laparoscopic surgery in Chandigarh, serving patients across the tricity and beyond. With over 1,00,000 satisfied patients, fellowship-trained laparoscopic surgeon Dr. Kumar Abhishek, advanced surgical technology, and 24×7 emergency services, we provide comprehensive surgical care from routine procedures to complex cases with excellent outcomes.
What is the difference between a laparoscopic and open surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions (5-10mm) through which a camera and specialized instruments are inserted, allowing surgery to be performed with minimal tissue trauma. Open surgery requires larger incisions for direct visualization. Laparoscopic advantages include less pain, smaller scars, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and quicker return to normal activities compared to open surgery.
How long does recovery take after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery?
Most patients are discharged the day after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. You can typically return to light activities within a few days and resume normal activities including work within one to two weeks. Full recovery usually occurs within two to three weeks, much faster than the six to eight weeks required after open gallbladder surgery.
Is laser treatment for piles (hemorrhoids) painful?
Laser haemorrhoidoplasty causes significantly less pain than traditional hemorrhoid surgery. The laser precisely treats hemorrhoidal tissue with minimal damage to surrounding areas. Most patients experience mild discomfort managed with simple pain medications and can return to normal activities within a few days, unlike conventional surgery which requires weeks of recovery.

How do I prepare for surgery?
