Department of General Surgery.
Human Care.
Where advanced surgical science meets genuine human care — six specialised departments, laparoscopic keyhole expertise, modern operation theatres and a team that walks with you from the first consultation to full recovery.
Six Departments. One Standard: Excellence.
Surgery today is a science of precision — smaller incisions, sharper imaging, safer anaesthesia and faster recovery. At JS Global Hospital, that science is matched with something equally important: doctors who listen, explain and stand by you. Explore our six surgical departments below, each built on advanced technology, experienced specialists and a patient-first philosophy.
General Surgery — Trusted Hands for Every Surgical Need
The General Surgery department is the backbone of our surgical services. Our consultants manage the complete spectrum of surgical conditions — hernia, gallbladder disease, appendicitis, piles, thyroid and breast disorders, skin and soft-tissue problems, and acute abdominal emergencies. Every case begins with careful evaluation: your symptoms, pain pattern and medical history are captured before any procedure is advised, and every treatment plan is explained in plain language.
- Hernia Repair (Mesh)
- Gallbladder Removal
- Appendix Surgery
- Piles / Fissure / Fistula
- Thyroid & Endocrine Surgery
- Breast Lump Surgery
- Skin & Soft Tissue
- Abdominal Emergencies
Gastroenterology Surgery — Science of the Digestive System
Surgical Gastroenterology treats diseases of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, colon and rectum using open, laparoscopic and minimally invasive techniques. Diagnosis always comes before treatment: our endoscopy unit performs upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy and ERCP under sedation, so surgeons operate with complete clarity — and many conditions are resolved without surgery at all.
- Laparoscopic gastrointestinal & colorectal surgery
- Liver, pancreatic & hepatobiliary surgery
- Fatty liver (NAFLD/NASH), hepatitis B & C, cirrhosis and jaundice care
- IBD, Crohn's & ulcerative colitis — including biologic therapy
- GERD, peptic ulcers, GI bleeding & intestinal obstruction
- Screening & surgery for gastric, colorectal and other GI tumours
Laparoscopic Surgery — Tiny Incisions. Big Difference.
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is where surgical science shines brightest. Instead of one large cut, the surgeon operates through 3–4 incisions of just a few millimetres, guided by a high-definition camera inside the abdomen. The result: dramatically less pain, minimal scarring, lower infection risk, shorter hospital stay — and a much faster return to work and family. Our laparoscopic specialists have performed thousands of keyhole procedures with excellent outcomes.
- Lap. Hernia Repair
- Lap. Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder)
- Lap. Appendicectomy
- Lap. Colorectal Surgery
- Lap. Abdominal Surgery
- Diagnostic Laparoscopy
- Advanced laparoscopic surgical systems with HD visualisation
- Trained OT teams following hospital-grade safety protocols
- Suitable for hernia, gallstones, appendicitis & many colorectal conditions
Surgical Oncology — Precision Against Cancer
Cancer treatment is strongest when it is a team effort. Our Surgical Oncology department works hand-in-hand with Medical and Radiation Oncology in a multidisciplinary approach — every case is reviewed collectively, and a personalised plan is built around the patient's cancer type, stage, overall health and personal goals. Surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are sequenced scientifically for the best possible outcome, with compassionate counselling at every stage.
- Breast & Gynecologic Oncology — breast-conserving where possible
- Gastrointestinal Oncology — stomach, colorectal, liver & pancreatic cancers
- Head and Neck Oncology & Uro-oncology
- Neuro-Oncology & Orthopaedic Oncology
- Systemic therapy support: chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy & immunotherapy
Vascular Surgery — Restoring the Body's Lifelines
Your arteries and veins are the body's lifelines — and vascular disease often progresses silently. Our vascular team diagnoses and treats the full range of circulatory disorders, from painful varicose veins and leg swelling to limb-threatening arterial blockages, using Doppler and advanced vascular imaging to plan each treatment. Wherever possible we choose minimally invasive endovascular and laser techniques — no large cuts, quicker recovery — reserving open surgery for complex cases.
- Varicose Veins (Laser)
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Peripheral Arterial Disease
- Diabetic Foot Care
- AV Fistula for Dialysis
- Aneurysm Management
- Carotid Artery Disease
- Leg Ulcer & Wound Care
Warning signs to never ignore: leg pain while walking that eases with rest, non-healing foot wounds (especially with diabetes), sudden leg swelling, or visible bulging veins with skin changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery safe?
Yes. Laparoscopic surgery is considered safe and offers smaller incisions, less pain, lower infection risk, quicker recovery and a shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery. Our specialists have performed thousands of keyhole procedures.
How soon can I go home after gallbladder or hernia surgery?
Laparoscopic gallbladder removal typically takes 30–45 minutes and most patients are discharged within 24 hours. After laparoscopic hernia repair, most patients go home the same day or next morning and return to work within 5–7 days.
When should I see a gastroenterology surgeon?
Consult a specialist if you have persistent abdominal pain, acidity or reflux that doesn't settle, difficulty swallowing, blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, gallbladder pain or a hernia swelling. Early diagnosis prevents complications and improves recovery.
How is a cancer treatment plan decided?
Every case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary team combining surgical, medical and radiation oncology. The plan is personalised to your cancer type, stage and overall health — surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are sequenced for the best outcome.
Can varicose veins be treated without open surgery?
In most cases, yes. Minimally invasive laser and endovascular techniques treat varicose veins through tiny punctures — usually as a day-care procedure with walking resumed the same day. Your vascular surgeon will confirm suitability after a Doppler scan.
Do you accept health insurance?
Yes. Cashless treatment is available under all major insurance and TPA plans for surgical procedures. Our insurance desk will guide you through pre-authorisation before admission.
