The Department of General Surgery provides surgical interventions that focus on the endocrine system, gastrointestinal tract, liver, colon, and other major parts of the human body. Some of the common procedures include appendix, gallbladder removals, colonoscopies, thyroidectomise, hernia and bariatric surgeries.

Laparoscopic Surgery is known as Key Hole Surgery. It is a surgical procedure done to either diagnose or to repair the damage of the organs mostly in the abdomen and pelvic region.

A thin long tube with a high-resolution camera and high-intensity light is used. This instrument is called a Laparoscope. The Laparoscope is sent into the abdominal wall with the help of a small incision. As it passes inside the abdomen, it takes images with the help of the camera and sends them to the video monitor. Samples for biopsy can also be obtained during this process. The reasons why Laparoscopic Surgery is preferred more are because of less recovery time, small incision hence less scaring, lesser hospital stay hence the cost of staying is reduced.
