Breast cancer is still one of the most common types of cancer in the India, and mastectomy is still one of the most reliable methods for treatment. If you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer, our team of surgeons in MGDM will work closely with you to create a personalized plan of attack to remove and treat your cancer.

Should you choose to pursue breast reconstruction surgery, our plastic surgeons will help you decide which breast reconstruction surgery is right for you.

The Most Common Types of Breast Reconstruction Surgery

• Silicone Gel Implant Reconstruction
• Saline-Filled Implant Reconstruction
• Diep Flap Reconstruction
• Tram Flap Reconstruction

Medically referred to as colectomy or colon re-sectioning, focuses on removing either part or all of your colon in order to prevent or address harmful medical conditions. Our general surgeons typically perform colon re-sectioning for patients who are at risk for, or who experience one of the following medical concerns:

• Bowel Obstructions
• Colon Cancer
• Colorectal Cancer
• Crohn’s Disease
• Diverticulitis
• Ulcerative Colitis

Colon re-sectioning can also be used to remove entire sections of the colon where several precancerous colon polyps have developed. Re-sectioning can be performed in either open surgery or laparoscopic surgery.

The most common procedures our general surgeons perform involving the upper digestive tract are gallbladder removal and GERD/acid reflux surgery.

The gallbladder, most often, becomes blocked or inflamed due to the formation of gallstones that are too large for the gallbladder to pass naturally. As the amount of gallstones increases, the patient will begin to experience greater pain, and increasingly aggravated symptoms until the stones are broken up, or the gallbladder is removed. Our general surgeons perform both open gallbladder removal surgery and minimally invasive laparoscopic gallbladder surgery in MGDM Hospital

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a condition that causes chronic acid reflux or heartburn. Typically this is due to a malfunction of the lower oesophageal sphincter When the lower oesophageal sphincter functions properly, it prevents stomach contents from overflowing into the lower oesophagus. However, when it does not function properly, stomach acid will backwash up into the oesophagus and cause heartburn. Our team of MGDM general surgeons are practiced at several surgical procedures that will restore function to the lower oesophageal sphincter and provide relief for GERD symptoms.

Conditions such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Graves’ disease, and other endocrine conditions can be treated with endocrine surgery. Our general surgeons in MGDM Hospital offer both traditional and innovative endocrine surgery.

At MGDM Hospital, we offer minimally invasive robotic thyroid and parathyroid surgery. These Our surgeons at MGDM Hospital also perform cutting-edge transoral thyroid surgery and transoral parathyroid surgery. These procedures are essentially scarless thyroid and parathyroid procedures. They are performed by making a small incision inside of the patient’s mouth and then using a laparoscopic instrument to remove the thyroid, either partially or completely, or the parathyroid glands. A small scar will be left on the inside of the mouth under the bottom lip, but there will be no visible external scarring on the neck as with traditional thyroid surgery.

Surgery on the oesophagus is used to triage acid reflux, GERD, high-grade dysplasia, and oesophageal cancer. Generally speaking, these procedures are performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical tools to minimize the patient’s recovery time.

Most oesophageal surgeries focus on removing the damaged or diseased portions of the oesophagus and then reconnecting the upper section of the stomach (fundus) to the remaining oesophagus.

Patients are carefully evaluated before undergoing any type of oesophageal surgery due to their classification as a major operation.

When patients have abdominal pain, but there is no immediate cause, a general surgeon can perform an exploratory laparotomy to investigate the source of pain. This procedure is performed by making an incision in the middle of the abdomen so the surgeon can clearly and directly inspect the patient’s organs. The incision for a laparotomy is usually the length of the belly, but there will only be one incision made.

Alternatively, a surgeon can perform an exploratory laparoscopy. This minimally invasive procedure uses tiny incisions and a laparoscope to inspect the internal organs. Healing from this procedure usually takes much less time than a laparotomy.

A hernia occurs when the lining that protects internal organs and keeps them in place develops a tiny hole. The organ next to the fascial hole will then be squeezed through the tissue and cause a slight bulging which is visible through the skin. Overtime, hernias become more and more painful and cause more problems the longer they go without being addressed.

Hernias can be resolved through several surgical techniques. Traditional hernia repair involves suturing the abdominal wall to secure the internal organs. Laparoscopic groin hernia repair uses a procedure called transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) surgery. This procedure uses a laparoscope inserted in the abdomen and through the peritoneum to access and repair the hernia.

Another type of groin hernia repair is totally extraperitoneal (TEP) surgery. This means the hernia repair is performed without puncturing the lining that encases the internal organs, called the peritoneum.

Most Haemorrhoids are treatable with topical medications, pain relievers, dietary supplements, and self-care. However, some Haemorrhoids will not go away on their own. Depending on the nature and severity of the Haemorrhoids, a surgeon will recommend surgery to either remove or repair the Haemorrhoids.

Our general surgeons use minimally invasive surgical procedures to remove internal and external Haemorrhoids through the following:

Types of Haemorrhoid Surgery

• Banding
• Infrared Coagulation
• Sclerotherapy
• Surgical Suturing
• Surgical Staples

A lipoma is a lump of fat cells that forms under the skin and causes a visual bulge on the exterior of the skin. Lipomas can be mistaken for cancerous growths, but they are not cancerous nor harmful. Some may cause pain if they form above a nerve. If you want a lipoma removed it can be done through excision surgery from a general surgeon.

At MGDM Hospital, we treat liver cancer and liver disease through liver re-sectioning surgery. The earlier the disease is detected, the better the patient’s chances for successful treatment and recovery. The liver is a vital organ, but it can still function if the diseased sections are removed and the rest of the liver is healthy.

General surgeons can treat conditions like pancreatitis, pancreas cancer, and benign pancreas tumors with pancreas surgery. There are several forms of pancreas surgery including the Whipple procedure, laparoscopic pancreas surgery, pancreatectomy, distal pancreatectomy, segmental pancreatectomy, and total pancreatectomy. Your surgeon will recommend which procedure will best treat your conditions during the testing and consultation period of your treatment

Our plastic surgeons provide all types of plastic and reconstructive surgeries for patients. Most commonly, our plastic surgeons perform breast surgery and breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy. Additionally, our surgeons can perform facial surgery, nose surgery, and skin grafts to improve a patient’s appearance after traumatic injuries.

While not as involved as internal surgery, our podiatry doctors and surgeons often perform procedures such as ingrown toenail removal, toenail fungus cleanings, and overgrown toenails (Ram’s horn nails).

Precancerous moles are easy to detect and easy to remove through excision. Our general surgeons are trained and experienced at identifying precancerous moles before they develop into full tumors. The earlier these types of moles are detected, the better. We recommend annual skin cancer screenings for anyone over the age of 50 in order to successfully prevent more cases of skin cancer.

The spleen, like the appendix, carries a general reputation as a useless organ, but it is anything but useless. This important organ actually supports the body’s immune system and helps purify blood. However, the spleen can become damaged or diseased. If non-surgical treatment is not successful, the spleen will have to be removed through splenectomy.

Orthopaedic surgery, also known as orthopaedics, is a branch of surgery that focuses on, treats, and cares for conditions involving the musculoskeletal system and its interconnected parts. These parts include the following:

• Bones
• Muscles
• Joints
• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Nerves

Top common orthopaedic surgeries at MGDM Hospital

• ACL Reconstruction
• Knee Replacement
• Hip Replacement
• Knee Arthroscopy
• Shoulder Arthroscopy
• Ankle & Ligaments Reconstruction Surgery
• Spinal Surgery
• Joint

Anterior Cruciate Ligament surgery, also known as ACL surgery, is a procedure that involves the repair or reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, which is located in the middle of the knee. An ACL is a vital soft tissue structure that connects the femur (a thigh or upper hindlimb bone that articulates at the hip and knee) to the tibia (the inner and typically larger of the two bones between the knee and the ankle).

These types of injuries, whether partial or complete, are most common among athletes. Sports medicine physicians and orthopaedic surgeons typically perform ACL reconstruction surgery, replacing the torn ligament with a tissue graft to mimic or replicate the natural ACL and it is done arthroscopically and hence it becomes a minimally invasive surgery

At MGDM Hospital we bring the best of technology and expertise of dedicated team of Orthopedicians to deliver the best results.

Knee replacement surgery is a surgical procedure used to resurface an arthritic or damaged knee. People with severe arthritis or knee injuries are typically considered for this surgery, in which metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the knee bones and the kneecap. Surgery to replace a knee joint is also called knee arthroplasty or total knee replacement.

The knee joint is affected by various types of arthritis. For example, osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects middle-aged and older adults, causing the breakdown of joint cartilage and adjacent knee bones. Rheumatoid arthritis causes synovial membrane inflammation, which increases synovial fluid and causes pain and stiffness in the knee joint. Traumatic arthritis develops as a result of an injury to the knee cartilage. The primary goal of knee replacement surgery is to resurface damaged knee parts and relieve pain that other methods cannot reduce.

Hip replacement surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a procedure used to relieve hip pain. It uses artificial implants to replace parts of the hip joint. The hip joints are made up of a ball at the top of the femur, known as the thigh bone, and a socket in the pelvis, known as the hip bone. The surgery involves the replacement of one or both parts. The surgery's primary goal is for you to be able to resume your daily activities and have a painless range of motion or movements at the hip joint with a stable and painless hip joint. We at MGDM Hospital strive to do our best to for easing of the pain and try help the patient to move more comfortably.

It is a procedure in which an orthopaedic surgeon uses a small piece of equipment called an arthroscope to investigate, evaluate and treat knee problems. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube connected to a fibre-optic video camera through a buttonhole-sized incision. A high-definition video monitor receives the view from inside your joint. It is a less invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems.

Most of the knee ligament injuries like ACL, PCL and meniscal tears are treated with this minimally invasive procedure.

Arthroscopy of the shoulder is a minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and treating shoulder disorders. Shoulder arthroscopy may be performed if a person has rotator cuff tears or a swimmer's shoulders, which is a pain caused by connective tissue rubbing on a shoulder blade. Small incisions and a few stitches are required for these procedures.

Ankle ligament reconstruction or repair is a surgical procedure performed if the joint still feels unstable after a fracture. During this procedure, the ankle bones are repositioned to their proper positions and held together with implants or suture anchors. Following the procedure, the patient must wear a cast or a boot for some time until they recover. When the patient's ankle bones have healed, they can put pressure on their foot and participate in physical therapy to regain entire ankle movement.

When you have frequent back pains time, and again, you may have to investigate and consider having spinal surgery. The good news is that you can recover from most of these back pains through non-surgical procedures. However, if you have severe back pain, experience abnormalities, or don’t respond to conservative treatment, it is best to have it evaluated and treated. Specialists will clarify and recommend the type of treatment or surgery based on the pain patterns, MRI REPORTS or issues you are experiencing. And it may range from minimal invasive procedures like a caudal epidural block to minimally invasive surgeries like microdiscectomy or spinal decompression and stabilisation procedures

Joint fusion, also known as Arthrodesis, is a surgical procedure that joins two bones in a joint. Surgery is usually used to straighten the damaged joint by removing the cartilage and stabilising the bone to heal together. Earlier it used to be a procedure for pain relief, but now it is commonly done as a salvage procedure following failed knee replacement surgeries.
