What does general surgery cover?

General surgery is a versatile specialty focusing on core abdominal organs—including the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts—as well as thyroid conditions, complex hernias, and soft tissue anomalies. Dr. Maitra employs advanced surgical solutions for these areas.

We provide detailed clinical assessments for diagnostic concerns such as gallbladder disease (stones or polyps), all forms of hernias (inguinal, femoral, umbilical, incisional), persistent appendicitis, severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and benign skin lesions.

Laparoscopic or 'keyhole' surgery is a minimally invasive technique where abdominal procedures are performed through tiny incisions (typically 0.5–1.2 cm). Using high-definition cameras and precision instruments, this approach results in significantly minimized pain, smaller scars, and a much faster recovery timeline.

An assessment is highly recommended if you experience recurrent abdominal discomfort, visible or painful hernias, chronic acid reflux resistant to medication, or if your general practitioner recommends a specialist clinical evaluation for surgical clarity.

Not necessarily. Dr. Maitra prioritizes evidence-based, conservative management plans first. Surgical intervention is proposed only when clinical outcomes are clearly superior to non-surgical therapies, ensuring a fully informed decision process.

Your consultation is a thorough process involving a detailed medical history review, physical examination, and examination of prior scans. Dr. Maitra will explain diagnostic findings, outline all management pathways, and tailor a custom treatment timeline.
