General Surgery

General surgery covers a broad range of essential procedures that address conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive system, endocrine system, and more. At CITI Hospital, our General Surgery team, led by Dr. Naaz Jahan Shaikh, specializes in both traditional and minimally invasive techniques to ensure safe, effective treatments with a focus on quick recovery and comfort.

What is General Surgery?

General surgery involves surgical interventions to diagnose, treat, or prevent various medical conditions. Our experienced surgical team handles common procedures such as:

• Appendectomy (removal of the appendix)
• Hernia repairs (to fix weakened areas in the abdominal wall)
• Gallbladder removal for gallstones or inflammation
• Bowel surgeries to treat blockages, infections, or inflammatory diseases

Each procedure is carefully tailored to the patient’s needs, and Dr. Shaikh prioritizes laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques whenever possible. This approach reduces the size of incisions, meaning patients experience less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery times.

What to Expect During and After Surgery

General surgery is performed under anesthesia, and depending on the procedure, you may be able to go home the same day. Our team will provide you with clear instructions to prepare for surgery and support you during recovery, ensuring you feel informed and confident at each step. After your surgery, follow-up care is essential to monitor healing, manage pain, and ensure a smooth return to your routine.
