Frequently Asked Questions
General Surgery at Dr. Narang’s Hospital, Jaipur
What types of surgeries are performed at Dr. Narang’s Hospital?
Our General Surgery unit manages conditions of the digestive and abdominal organs, including gallbladder (laparoscopic cholecystectomy), hernias (laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair), appendix (laparoscopic appendectomy), intestinal obstruction, hemorrhoids (hemorrhoidectomy), fistulas (fistula repair), and chronic fissures (fissurectomy).
What are the benefits of laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery?
Laparoscopic procedures use small incisions, which typically lead to less pain, minimal scarring, lower infection risk, shorter hospital stay, and faster return to normal activities compared to open surgery.
When is laparoscopic cholecystectomy recommended?
It’s advised for symptomatic gallstones causing pain, infection, or inflammation. Most patients go home the same day and recover quickly with proper aftercare.
How do you decide between open and laparoscopic hernia repair?
The choice depends on hernia size/type, symptoms, previous surgeries, overall health, and surgeon’s assessment. Many groin hernias are safely repaired laparoscopically using mesh for durable results.
What is intestinal obstruction surgery and when is it needed?
Surgery is required when the bowel is blocked and conservative treatment is not effective or safe. The operation removes the blockage and repairs or removes damaged sections to restore bowel function.
What is the usual recovery after laparoscopic appendectomy?
Recovery is generally rapid. Many patients resume light activity within a few days, with full recovery typically within 1–2 weeks, as advised by the surgeon.
Are hemorrhoidectomy and fissurectomy painful procedures?
Some discomfort is expected afterward, especially during the first 1–2 weeks. Pain is managed with medications, sitz baths, stool softeners, and detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and comfort.
How should I prepare for surgery and what aftercare is provided?
Before surgery, follow fasting and medication instructions and arrange an escort for discharge. After surgery, patients receive written diet, wound, and activity guidance, follow-up appointments, and a contact number for any urgent concerns.
