Each patient is evaluated and counseled in detail by the faculty.
In-patient department:
The patients requiring admission will be admitted to the shared pool beds as per the Institute policy.
Services (Diagnostic and Therapeutic) offered by the department:
The department offers treatment for various diseases related to the gastrointestinal tract. Whenever indicated, surgeries are performed by laparoscopic techniques to expedite the patient's recovery and minimize post-operative discomfort. The department conducts complex Open/ laparoscopic surgeries. Surgeries are performed with state-of-the-art medical equipment like HD laparoscopic system, advanced vessel sealing devices (Harmonic, Ligasure), and ultrasonic liver dissection system. This advanced equipment promotes shorter surgical times, less blood loss and helps achieve the ultimate goal of 'safe surgery.' In addition, a clinical audit is conducted monthly to maintain a standard level of care and constantly improve the system.
Following conditions are dealt with/procedures are performed in the department. The surgery technique (open/ laparoscopic) is individualized according to the indication for surgery and medical and social factors.
