Surgery

The Surgery Department at our hospital is committed to delivering exceptional surgical care through a team of highly skilled surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and support staff.

Our General Surgery department comprises a dedicated team of highly skilled and experienced doctors and nurses prepared to execute a wide range of surgical procedures. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, we are equipped to handle minor, major, and complex surgeries within our facility.

Advancements in anesthesia and pain control have facilitated the transition of many less invasive surgical procedures to an outpatient or ambulatory setting. Now, routine outpatient procedures include tonsillectomies, hernia repairs, gallbladder removals, selected cosmetic surgeries, and cataract surgeries.

This progress not only underscores our commitment to providing comprehensive surgical care but also emphasizes our adaptability to evolving medical practices. We remain dedicated to delivering high-quality healthcare with a focus on patient comfort and convenience.
