Department

The department of General Surgery at Annapurna Neurological Institute & Allied Sciences focuses on performing surgical procedures on various parts of the body, excluding those that fall under the purview of specific surgical specialties like neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, or cardiothoracic surgery. The primary objective of our General Surgery department is to provide surgical care for a broad spectrum of conditions that require surgical intervention to manage a wide range of surgical diseases and emergencies affecting the abdomen, gastrointestinal tract, breast, skin, soft tissues, endocrine system, and other anatomical regions.

Our general surgery department perform both elective and emergency surgeries, and our expertise extends to surgical procedures such as:

1. Abdominal surgeries: These include appendectomy (removal of the appendix), cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), hernia repair, bowel resection, and surgeries for gastrointestinal disorders, such as diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastric ulcers.

2. Breast surgeries: General surgeons may perform breast biopsies, lumpectomies (removal of a breast lump), and mastectomies (removal of breast tissue), including reconstructive procedures for breast cancer patients.

3. Soft tissue surgeries: This involves the removal of tumors, cysts, or abscesses from various parts of the body, such as the skin, subcutaneous tissues, or muscles.

4. Endocrine surgeries: General surgeons may perform surgeries involving the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, and other endocrine organs.

5. Trauma surgeries: General surgeons play a critical role in managing surgical emergencies resulting from accidents, injuries, or trauma. They may perform emergency surgeries to control bleeding, repair organ damage, or stabilize critically injured patients.

6. Vascular access procedures: General surgeons may create vascular access points for dialysis or chemotherapy treatments, such as inserting arteriovenous fistulas or implanting vascular access devices.

7. Emergency surgeries: General surgeons are often involved in emergency situations that require immediate surgical intervention, such as appendicitis, bowel obstruction, perforated ulcers, or abdominal trauma.

Our Department work closely with other healthcare professionals, including anesthesiologists, nurses, radiologists, pathologists, and oncologists, to ensure comprehensive patient care throughout the surgical process. We collaborate with surgical subspecialists if a patient's condition requires specialized expertise. Besides performing surgical procedures, we also provide preoperative and postoperative care, including patient evaluation, surgical consultations, and follow-up visits to monitor healing and recovery focusing  on providing high-quality surgical care, emphasizing patient safety, optimal outcomes, and effective management of surgical diseases.
