General GI surgery

As GI surgery is a development of the last decade in the majority of places in India, some of the basic GI surgery procedures used to be done by experienced general surgeon before the field of GI surgery came into the vogue. These procedures can be done by an experienced general surgeon or a GI surgeon. They include;

  • Surgery for hernias (laparoscopic surgery)
  • Surgery for appendicitis (laparoscopic surgery)
  • Surgery for piles, fissure, fistula
  • Surgeries for peptic perforation and intestinal perforation (some of the cases can be done using laparoscopic technique)
