General and Minimal Access Surgery

Minimally Invasive Surgery: The MAS component of the department focuses on performing surgeries using minimally invasive techniques. These procedures, also known as laparoscopic or keyhole surgeries, involve making small incisions instead of large ones. Surgeons use specialized instruments and a camera (laparoscope) to perform the procedure with enhanced precision and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. Minimally invasive surgery offers benefits such as reduced pain, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and improved cosmetic outcomes.Laparoscopic Procedures: The General and MAS department commonly performs various laparoscopic procedures, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), laparoscopic appendectomy (appendix removal), laparoscopic hernia repair, laparoscopic colectomy (removal of part of the colon), and laparoscopic gastric procedures for weight loss, among others.

Endoscopic Procedures: Endoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic technique used to visualize and treat conditions within the body’s hollow organs or cavities. Surgeons in the General and MAS department may perform endoscopic procedures such as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, bronchoscopy, and cystoscopy, depending on the specific requirements of the patient.

Biopsies and Tumor Excisions: Surgeons in this department may perform biopsies to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic purposes. They may also carry out tumor excisions, removing both benign and malignant tumors using appropriate surgical techniques.

Emergency Surgery: The General and MAS department is often involved in emergency surgical interventions. Surgeons are available around the clock to address acute surgical emergencies such as appendicitis, perforated organs, traumatic injuries, and other urgent surgical conditions.

Consultations and Preoperative Evaluations: Surgeons in the General and MAS department provide consultations and preoperative evaluations for patients requiring surgical interventions. They assess patients’ medical history, perform physical examinations, order diagnostic tests, discuss surgical options, and address any concerns or questions the patient may have.

Postoperative Care and Follow-up: After surgery, the General and MAS department ensures proper postoperative care, monitoring patients’ recovery, managing pain, and addressing any complications that may arise. They also schedule follow-up appointments to assess the healing process and provide further guidance regarding wound care, activity levels, and any necessary lifestyle modifications.

Collaboration with Multidisciplinary Teams: Surgeons in the General and MAS department collaborate with other medical specialists, including anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, and oncologists, among others, to provide comprehensive care to patients. They work together to develop treatment plans, discuss surgical interventions, and coordinate patient care across different disciplines.

Training and Education: The General and MAS department is actively involved in medical education and training. Surgeons often participate in teaching programs, mentoring surgical residents and fellows, and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements and techniques in general and minimal access surgery.
