From routine hernia repairs to complex oncological resections and emergency abdominal surgery — KG Hospital's general surgery department combines decades of open surgical expertise with state-of-the-art minimally invasive techniques.
Same-day and next-day slots available for surgical consultations.
KG Hospital's Department of General Surgery handles the full spectrum of elective and emergency surgical conditions affecting the abdomen, alimentary tract, breast, endocrine glands and soft tissues. Our surgeons are trained at leading institutions across India and abroad, bringing sub-specialist expertise to every procedure.

Explore →Inguinal, umbilical, incisional and hiatus hernia
Explore →Haemorrhoids, fistula-in-ano, fissure and rectal prolapse
Explore →Appendicitis, perforation, obstruction, trauma — 24/7
Explore →Over 98% of our elective general surgical procedures are performed laparoscopically — through small keyhole incisions using a camera and specialised instruments. Patients benefit from significantly less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster return to normal activity compared with open surgery.
Laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder is the gold-standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones. At KG Hospital, most patients are discharged the same day or within 24 hours. We perform over 600 cholecystectomies annually with a complication rate well below the national average.
Laparoscopic appendectomy is performed for both acute and chronic appendicitis. The laparoscopic approach offers faster recovery, lower wound infection rates and the ability to inspect the entire abdominal cavity — important when the diagnosis is uncertain, particularly in young women.
Laparoscopic colorectal resection for cancer and benign disease offers equivalent oncological outcomes to open surgery with the added benefits of reduced blood loss, faster bowel recovery and shorter hospital stay. Our colorectal team follows enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols.
Nissen fundoplication wraps the upper stomach around the lower oesophagus to recreate the anti-reflux valve. Performed laparoscopically, it offers long-term freedom from GERD symptoms in over 90% of carefully selected patients — eliminating lifelong dependency on proton-pump inhibitors.
Hernias are one of the most common surgical conditions we treat. KG Hospital offers all hernia repair techniques — from day-case laparoscopic repairs to complex incisional hernia reconstructions — using modern mesh materials that provide durable, long-lasting results.
Laparoscopic TAPP, TEP, ETEP repair is our standard — mesh placed in the preperitoneal space. Day surgery in most cases.
Laparoscopic or open repair with mesh reinforcement. Day-care surgery for smaller defects. Recurrence rate <1% with mesh repair. Common surgeries we perform for umbilical hernia include ETEP, TPOM, and TARM.
Component separation technique and biological mesh for large abdominal wall defects. Complex reconstructions managed by our specialist team.
Laparoscopic repair of stomach herniation through the diaphragm, combined with fundoplication for reflux symptoms.
Emergency surgery for hernias with compromised blood supply. 24/7 availability with expedited theatre access to prevent bowel ischaemia.
Laparoscopic TAPP or TEP repair preferred. Higher strangulation risk than inguinal — early repair advised for all femoral hernias.
Anorectal conditions such as haemorrhoids, fissures and fistulas are extremely common yet often undertreated due to patient embarrassment. At KG Hospital, our dedicated proctology clinic offers sensitive, confidential and effective surgical treatment.
Stapled haemorrhoidopexy (PPH) is our preferred technique for Grade III–IV haemorrhoids — less painful than conventional haemorrhoidectomy with faster recovery. Grade II haemorrhoids are managed with rubber band ligation in the outpatient clinic. Conventional Milligan–Morgan haemorrhoidectomy performed for Grade IV disease where appropriate.
KG Hospital offers the full range of fistula-in-ano treatments including Video-Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment (VAAFT), Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT) and conventional fistulotomy — selecting the technique based on fistula type and proximity to the sphincter to preserve continence.
Lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) is the definitive surgical treatment for chronic anal fissure unresponsive to medical management. The procedure takes under 30 minutes, is performed as a day case and has a success rate exceeding 95%. Botulinum toxin injection is offered as a non-surgical alternative.
KG Hospital uses the Karydakis flap and Bascom cleft lift techniques for pilonidal sinus — significantly reducing recurrence rates compared to simple excision and open healing. Minimally invasive sinusectomy (EPSIT) is available for primary and recurrent cases.
KG Hospital provides round-the-clock emergency surgical cover with a consultant surgeon always available for immediate assessment and theatre access within 60 minutes for life-threatening conditions. Our emergency surgical team handles all acute abdominal emergencies.
Laparoscopic appendectomy within 6 hours of diagnosis. Paediatric and adult cases managed. Perforated appendix with peritonitis — immediate theatre.
Emergency laparoscopic or open repair for perforated peptic ulcer, Hartmann's procedure for perforated diverticulitis.
Non-operative decompression where appropriate; early surgical intervention for strangulation, volvulus or failed conservative management.
Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 72 hours of symptom onset — the evidence-based standard, reducing morbidity and hospital length of stay.
Urgent repair for hernias with compromised blood supply. Bowel resection performed if strangulated segment is not viable.
Damage control surgery for solid organ and bowel injuries. Multi-disciplinary trauma team activation including interventional radiology.
