Led by a FACS-certified laparoscopic surgeon, most procedures are day care with discharge within 24 hours.
Iswarya Hospital's General & Laparoscopic Surgery department on OMR, Chennai treats the full range of abdominal, hernia, gallbladder, anorectal and soft-tissue conditions, with most operations performed by keyhole (laparoscopic) or laser techniques. Smaller incisions mean less pain, a shorter hospital stay, quicker return to work and minimal scarring. The department is led by a FACS-certified laparoscopic surgeon with over 15 years of experience in advanced minimally invasive surgery.
Common operations include laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder for gallstones, laparoscopic appendectomy, mesh repair of inguinal, umbilical and incisional hernias, diagnostic laparoscopy for unexplained abdominal pain, and laparoscopic bowel surgery. Most patients go home within 24 hours and resume normal activity within a week.
The department runs a dedicated laser proctology service for piles, anal fissure and fistula. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty, laser fissure treatment and laser fistula closure are day-care procedures with far less pain than conventional cutting operations and no damage to the sphincter muscle. Stapler and conventional haemorrhoidectomy are offered for large or prolapsed piles. Circumcision, including the ten-minute stapler technique, is available for children and adults.
Thyroid and neck swellings, breast lumps, varicose veins, hydrocele, lipomas and cysts, diabetic foot wounds and abdominal emergencies such as perforation and obstruction are also managed here, with 24×7 emergency surgical cover. Cashless treatment is available under Ayushman Bharat, CGHS, ECHS and most private insurers. Call 044 2025 2025 to book a consultation.
