General Surgery Hospital in Kurla, Mumbai
General surgery deals with problems of the abdomen, the abdominal wall, and certain soft tissues that need a surgeon's opinion, sometimes within hours. CritiCare Asia Hospitals in Kurla is a general surgery hospital in Mumbai that sees patients with appendicitis, hernia, gallbladder disease, and surgical emergencies. The operation may be planned weeks ahead or decided the same day. Many of these conditions begin as ordinary-looking discomfort. A dull ache near the navel or a small groin lump is easy to put off. Wherever it is safe, operations are done through small incisions, and laparoscopic surgery is the usual route for appendix, hernia and gallbladder problems.
Open surgery is kept for cases where keyhole is not suitable, and the surgeon explains the reason beforehand. Patients also get a plain account of the likely course of treatment, the hospital stay, billing and the insurance process, so paperwork does not become a second worry.
Conditions We Treat
Some problems arrive suddenly, and others build over months. For appendicitis treatment, hernia care, gallbladder disease and urgent abdominal conditions, patients are seen for:
Appendicitis
inflammation of the appendix, often starting as pain around the navel that shifts to the lower right abdomen, with nausea, fever or loss of appetite. Waiting raises the risk of rupture.Hernia
a bulge where intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, commonly in the groin, at the navel, or along an old scar. A hernia that turns hard, painful, and will not go back in needs emergency care.Gallstones and gallbladder disease
pain under the right ribs, often after a fatty meal, sometimes with nausea, fever, or yellowing of the eyes.Emergency conditions
a perforated bowel, internal bleeding after injury, a strangulated hernia or a spreading abscess. Patients are assessed on arrival and operated on without delay when the findings call for it.
Treatments & Procedures
Treatment begins with a diagnosis, using blood tests, ultrasound and, where needed, CT scanning or endoscopy. Surgery follows only when it is the right option. For hernia surgery in Kurla, Mumbai, gallbladder surgery and appendix removal, the procedures available are:
Appendicectomy
removal of the inflamed appendix, by keyhole surgery in most cases and by the open route when infection is advanced.Hernia repair
the weak area is closed and usually reinforced with mesh, either laparoscopically or by open repair depending on the type and size.Gallbladder removal
mostly laparoscopic. Open surgery is reserved for complicated cases, and stones in the bile duct or an infected gallbladder may need other approaches.Drainage and excision of abscesses, cysts and lipomas.
Emergency laparotomy for perforation, obstruction or internal bleeding.
Smaller cuts generally mean less pain and an easier recovery, but keyhole surgery does not suit everyone. Widespread infection, earlier abdominal operations or general health can change the plan, and the surgeon may move to open surgery during the operation if safety requires it.
