The Department of General Surgery at UMH Hospital is at the forefront of providing advanced surgical care with a focus on Laparoscopic and Minimal Access techniques. Our team of highly skilled surgeons is dedicated to offering patient-centric, evidence-based surgical solutions for a wide spectrum of conditions. By utilizing state-of-the-art technology and minimally invasive approaches, we aim to reduce patient discomfort, minimize scarring, and promote faster recovery times. The department is equipped to perform a comprehensive range of procedures, from routine surgeries to complex interventions, ensuring the highest standards of safety and surgical excellence.
Our department is led by a team of expert general surgeons who specialize in laparoscopic and minimal access surgery. With extensive training and experience in advanced surgical techniques, our surgeons are committed to providing precise, effective, and compassionate care tailored to each patient's unique needs.
We specialize in a wide array of laparoscopic (keyhole) surgeries, which offer significant benefits over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to daily activities. Our capabilities include laparoscopic appendectomy, cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), hernia repairs, and diagnostic laparoscopies.
Our focus on minimal access techniques extends to various day-care surgical procedures. We perform numerous surgeries that allow patients to return home on the same day, reducing the psychological and physical stress associated with hospital stays. This approach is ideal for procedures like hemorrhoidectomy, pilonidal sinus surgery, and excision of lumps and bumps.
Beyond laparoscopy, our department provides comprehensive management for all general surgical conditions. This includes the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders (such as peptic ulcers, appendicitis, and intestinal obstructions), breast diseases, thyroid and parathyroid disorders, and surgical oncology for cancers of the digestive system, breast, and skin.
We believe in a holistic approach to patient care. Our surgeons work in close collaboration with specialists from medical gastroenterology, oncology, radiology, anesthesia, and critical care to develop integrated treatment plans. This ensures that every aspect of a patient's health is considered, leading to optimal surgical outcomes and overall well-being.
At UMH Hospital, the patient is at the heart of everything we do. We ensure clear communication, involving patients and their families in every step of the decision-making process. Our team provides thorough pre-operative counseling and dedicated post-operative follow-up to support a smooth and successful recovery journey.
