Treatments & Procedures
The department offers comprehensive surgical care for gastrointestinal disorders through both open and minimally invasive techniques. Common procedures include laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, hernia repair, appendicectomy, colorectal surgeries, gastrointestinal cancer surgeries, liver and pancreatic procedures, and emergency abdominal surgeries. Advanced laparoscopic techniques are used whenever required to ensure smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay.
Our Approach to Care
At NK Hospital, every patient undergoes a detailed evaluation to identify the root cause of the digestive problem before planning the treatment. The department follows a patient-focused and evidence-based approach where surgical decisions are made after thorough clinical assessment, investigations, and discussion with the patient and family. Complex cases are managed with a multidisciplinary approach involving gastroenterologists, radiologists, anesthetists, critical care specialists, and dieticians.
When Should a Patient Consult?
Patients should consult a Surgical Gastroenterologist if they experience persistent abdominal pain, recurrent acidity or reflux, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, abdominal swelling, rectal bleeding, chronic constipation, or changes in bowel habits. Symptoms such as severe abdominal pain with fever, jaundice, blood in stools, or sudden abdominal distension may indicate serious conditions requiring urgent attention.
