The department of General Surgery at Asarfi Hospital provides its patients with the services employing cutting-edge surgical care. The department also specializes in Laparoscopic surgeries (also known as key-hole surgery or minimally invasive surgery), which helps in providing patients with a variety of treatments in the fields of gynecology, gastroenterology and urology. Surgery is any procedure that alters body tissues to diagnose or treat a medical condition. Our team of general surgeon hasve specialized knowledge of the entire surgical process, from the initial evaluation through preparation, procedure, and post-operative management. A general surgeon understands all nine basic areas of surgery, which are:
- The digestive tract
- The abdomen and its contents
- The skin and soft tissue, including the breasts
- The head and neck
- The blood vessels and heart
- The endocrine system (hormones and glands)
- Surgical treatment of cancer
- Surgical management of traumatic injuries
- Care of critically ill patients with surgical needs
The ASARFI’s general surgeon Dr. Pankaj Kumar are familiar with minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy. Laparoscopic surgeries involve much smaller tools, including tiny cameras that let the surgeon see what’s going on inside your body. These specialized instruments mean that the surgeon can make much smaller cuts than they would with traditional procedures.
Dr. Pankaj Kumar have a broad knowledge of many different diseases and conditions. He will recommend whether you need surgery and what kind of surgery would be appropriate like:
- The body’s healthy structure and function
- How wounds heal
- How blood flows and clots
- How the immune system functions
