List of Procedures
General surgeons typically handle a wide range of surgical conditions including thyroid disorders, hernias, varicose veins, breast diseases, diabetic foot infections, wounds, soft tissue swellings, piles, fistula etc.
Common procedures include thyroidectomy, breast conservation surgery/mastectomy/oncoplastic surgery, hernia repairs, open and endovenous surgery for varicose veins.
Your primary care physician will typically refer you to a surgeon if surgery is deemed necessary based on your medical condition.
Before surgery, you'll have consultations with the surgeon to discuss the procedure, potential risks and pre-operative preparations. You may also undergo tests and evaluations to ensure you are fit for surgery.
Recovery depends on the type of surgery. Generally, you will have post-operative care instructions, pain management plans, and follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress.
Risks can include infection, bleeding, reactions to anaesthesia, and specific complications related to the type of surgery being performed. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you before the procedure.
Recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery and individual factors. Some surgeries may require only a few days of recovery, while others may take weeks or even months.
Most surgeries result in some degree of scarring, but the extent and visibility of scars depend on factors such as the type of incision and your body's healing process.
Your surgeon and their team are available to address any concerns or questions you may have during your recovery process. Don't hesitate to reach out to them.
Preparing for surgery typically involves following pre-operative instructions provided by your surgeon, which may include dietary restrictions, medication adjustments, and lifestyle modifications.
