General surgery encompasses a broad range of surgical procedures that deal with various parts of the body, including the abdomen, digestive tract, endocrine system, breast, skin, and soft tissues. Some common surgeries performed by general surgeons include:

Appendectomy: If you're experiencing pain in your lower right abdomen due to appendicitis. Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, usually caused by a blockage in the appendix, often by stool, a foreign body, or a tumour. When the appendix becomes inflamed, it can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite. If left untreated, appendicitis can lead to complications like a burst appendix, which can result in serious infection and even be life-threatening. If you suspect you have appendicitis, it's important to seek medical attention promptly to receive appropriate treatment.

The treatment for appendicitis typically involves surgical removal of the inflamed appendix, a procedure known as an appendectomy.

Don't let appendicitis hold you back from living your best life. At Aspen Clinic, we offer advanced appendectomy procedures tailored to your individual needs, providing swift relief and a path to wellness.

Discover Your Treatment Options:

Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Experience rapid recovery and minimal scarring with our minimally invasive approach. Dr. Hina Khan's expertise in laparoscopic surgery guarantees precision and efficiency, allowing you to resume your daily activities with confidence.

Open Appendectomy: In cases where laparoscopic surgery may not be suitable, rest assured that Dr. Hina Khan provides traditional open appendectomy with unmatched proficiency and empathy. Our priority is your comfort and well-being every step of the way.

Cholecystectomy: Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, often caused by gallstones blocking the flow of bile. The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. Cholecystitis typically occurs when bile flow is obstructed, leading to the buildup of bile within the gallbladder and causing irritation and inflammation. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and tenderness in the abdomen. 

Cholecystitis requires medical evaluation and treatment to prevent complications and alleviate symptoms. It's important to seek prompt medical attention for proper diagnosis and management.

Treatment may involve pain management, antibiotics for infection, fasting or a low-fat diet, and in severe cases, surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy).

Are you ready to bid farewell to the discomfort of gallbladder disease and embrace a life of vitality? At Aspen Clinic Pune, we offer cutting-edge cholecystectomy procedures to provide you with lasting relief and a renewed sense of well-being.

Hernia : A hernia is a condition characterized by the protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weakened area in the muscle or connective tissue that usually contains it. This can result in a visible bulge or lump under the skin, often accompanied by discomfort or pain, especially during activities like lifting or straining. 

There are several types of hernias, including: 

Inguinal Hernia: An inguinal hernia is a condition where tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot or tear in the abdominal wall, specifically in the groin area. This can result in a visible bulge or lump in the groin or scrotum. Inguinal hernias are more common in men than in women and can cause discomfort or pain, especially when lifting heavy objects or straining. Treatment usually involves surgical repair to strengthen the abdominal wall and prevent the hernia from recurring. This is the most common type, occurring when a part of the intestine or fatty tissue protrudes through the abdominal wall or into the inguinal canal in the groin area.

Surgical Repair (Hernioplasty): Surgery is the most common and effective treatment for inguinal hernias. Surgical repair involves pushing the protruding tissue back into place and reinforcing the weakened area of the abdominal wall with stitches and  synthetic mesh is implanted. Surgery can be performed using open surgery techniques or minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic surgery.
The choice of surgical option depends on factors such as the size and type of hernia, patient's medical history, surgeon's expertise, and patient preferences.

With us, you're not just undergoing surgery; you're embarking on a journey to reclaim your vitality and confidence. Trust in our expertise to guide you toward a future where hernias are a thing of the past. Step into a world of seamless living, where every moment is a testament to your resilience and well-being.

Umbilical Hernia: An umbilical hernia is a type of hernia that occurs when fatty tissue or a part of the intestine protrudes through a weakened area near the belly button (umbilicus). This results in a visible bulge or lump in the abdomen.

Umbilical hernias are most commonly seen in infants, but they can also occur in adults, particularly in women who have been pregnant or individuals who are overweight. Treatment may involve observation, especially in infants, or surgical repair to strengthen the weakened area and prevent complications.
The treatment for an umbilical hernia typically depends on its size, symptoms, and the individual's overall health.

Observation: Small umbilical hernias in infants are often left alone as they may close on their own by age 1 to 2.

Surgical Repair: For umbilical hernias that persist beyond infancy, enlarge over time, or cause discomfort, surgical repair may be necessary. This procedure involves closing the hole in the abdominal wall through which the hernia protrudes, typically using stitches or a synthetic mesh to reinforce the area. Surgical repair is often recommended for adults or children with symptomatic or large hernias that are unlikely to resolve on their own.

Hiatal Hernia: A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. The diaphragm is a large muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen and helps control breathing.

There are two main types of hiatal hernias:

Sliding Hiatal Hernia: This is the most common type, where the junction of the esophagus and stomach (called the gastroesophageal junction) and a portion of the stomach slide up into the chest through the opening in the diaphragm (called the hiatus). It may cause gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms.

Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia: In this less common type, a portion of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm and lies beside the esophagus. While it's usually asymptomatic, it can lead to complications like obstruction or strangulation of the stomach, which may require surgery.
Hiatal hernias can cause symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and sometimes nausea or vomiting. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and medication for managing symptoms to surgical repair in severe cases or when complications arise.

The choice of surgical option depends on factors such as the type and size of the hiatal hernia, severity of symptoms, patient's overall health, and surgeon's expertise. It's essential to discuss the available options with a surgeon to determine the most suitable approach for each individual case.

Ventral Hernia: A ventral hernia occurs when abdominal tissue or organs protrude through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Unlike inguinal or hiatal hernias, which typically occur in specific areas (groin or diaphragm), ventral hernias can develop anywhere on the abdominal wall. They can result from previous surgical incisions, weakened abdominal muscles, or other factors such as obesity, pregnancy, or heavy lifting. Experience freedom from ventral hernia with our advanced surgical treatments tailored to your needs. 

Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair: This minimally invasive approach involves making several small incisions in the abdomen. A camera and specialized surgical instruments are inserted through the incisions to repair the hernia. Laparoscopic repair offers advantages such as smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

Open Ventral Hernia Repair: In cases where laparoscopic repair is not feasible or appropriate, open surgery may be performed. This involves making a larger incision directly over the hernia site to access and repair the hernia. Open surgery may be necessary for complex hernias or when additional procedures are required.

The choice of surgical technique depends on factors such as the size and location of the hernia, patient's overall health, surgeon's expertise, and patient preferences

Incisional hernia: An incisional hernia occurs when tissue or organs protrude through a weakened area of the abdominal wall at the site of a previous surgical incision or scar. This condition can lead to a visible bulge or lump and may cause discomfort or pain. Treatment typically involves surgical repair to strengthen the abdominal wall and close the hernia defect.
