General Laparoscopic Surgery in Chandigarh

What is General & Laparoscopic Surgery?

General surgery is the surgical specialty focused on the diagnosis and operative management of conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, soft tissues, and endocrine glands. Laparoscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery, uses small incisions, a camera, and specialised instruments to perform surgical procedures with significantly less trauma to surrounding tissue compared to open surgery. At Healing Hospital, Chandigarh, the majority of elective general surgical procedures are performed laparoscopically, offering patients reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to daily activities.

Conditions Treated by Our General & Laparoscopic Surgery Team

Our general surgery team in Chandigarh manages a comprehensive range of surgical conditions using minimally invasive and open techniques, providing coordinated care from pre-operative assessment through surgery and post-operative recovery.

Gallbladder Stones (Cholelithiasis)

Gallbladder stones form when bile components crystallise in the gallbladder, causing upper right abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, and discomfort — particularly after fatty meals. Symptomatic gallstones are best treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive procedure to remove the gallbladder through small incisions with a short hospital stay and rapid recovery.

Hernia

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue wall. Common types include inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, incisional hernia, and hiatal hernia. Surgical repair using laparoscopic or open mesh techniques restores the abdominal wall and prevents complications such as strangulation.

Appendicitis

Acute appendicitis causes severe right lower abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting requiring prompt surgical removal of the inflamed appendix. Laparoscopic appendicectomy is the preferred approach at Healing Hospital, offering faster recovery and reduced risk of wound complications compared to open surgery.

Haemorrhoids (Piles)

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus causing bleeding, pain, itching, and discomfort. Treatment depends on the grade and severity and may include dietary modification, rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or surgical haemorrhoidectomy for advanced cases.

Anal Fissure and Fistula

Anal fissures are small tears in the anal lining causing pain and bleeding during bowel movements. Anal fistulas are abnormal tunnels connecting the anal canal to the skin. Both conditions may require surgical treatment when conservative measures fail to provide relief.

Thyroid Surgery

Thyroid surgery, or thyroidectomy, is recommended for thyroid nodules, goitre causing compressive symptoms, thyroid cancer, or hyperthyroidism not responding to medical management. Partial or total thyroidectomy is performed depending on the underlying condition.

Breast Lump Excision

Breast lumps identified as suspicious on clinical examination or imaging require surgical excision and histopathological analysis to confirm whether they are benign or malignant. Excision biopsy provides definitive diagnosis and treatment in a single procedure for appropriate cases.

Skin and Soft Tissue Procedures

Lipomas, sebaceous cysts, skin tags, ingrown toenails, and other benign skin and soft tissue conditions are managed with minor surgical excision under local or general anaesthesia depending on the size and location.

Laparoscopic Surgery — What to Expect

Laparoscopic surgery at Healing Hospital is performed under general anaesthesia through two to four small incisions, each less than one centimetre in size. A camera and specialised instruments are inserted through these incisions allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure with full visualisation on a monitor. Benefits include significantly reduced post-operative pain, minimal scarring, lower risk of wound infection, shorter hospital stay, and faster return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery. Most laparoscopic procedures allow discharge within one to two days.
