General and Laparoscopic Surgery at Shri Ram Hospital, Vikaspuri
The Department of General Surgery at Shri Ram Hospital provides modern surgical care for a wide range of conditions. Our experienced surgeons use laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques wherever they are suitable, and traditional open surgery when it is the safer choice for you.
The goal is simple: treat the problem effectively, keep pain and scarring low, and help you return home and to normal life as soon as it is safe to do so.
We are in Vikaspuri, West Delhi, and treat patients from Janakpuri, Uttam Nagar, Dwarka, Tilak Nagar, Paschim Vihar, Rajouri Garden, Punjabi Bagh and across Delhi NCR.
What Is General Surgery?
General surgery covers operations on the abdomen and its organs, along with the breast, thyroid and other soft tissues. A general surgeon diagnoses the problem, decides whether surgery is needed, performs the operation and looks after your recovery.
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive method. The surgeon makes a few small cuts and uses a thin camera and fine instruments, instead of one large incision. It is commonly used for hernia, gallbladder and appendix surgery.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery
Compared with traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery can offer clear advantages when it is suitable for your condition.
Why Many Patients Prefer Keyhole Surgery
- Small incisions: Smaller cuts mean less tissue damage and smaller scars.
- Less pain: Most patients need fewer pain medicines after surgery.
- Shorter hospital stay: Many patients go home sooner than after open surgery.
- Quicker recovery: Daily activities and work can usually be resumed earlier.
- Lower infection risk: Smaller wounds help reduce the chance of wound infection.
- Better view for the surgeon: A magnified camera view helps the surgeon work precisely.
Laparoscopic surgery is not right for everyone. In some cases, such as complicated or previously operated abdomens, open surgery may be safer, and your surgeon will explain why.
Common Conditions That May Need Surgery
Many surgical problems start with symptoms that are easy to ignore. See a surgeon if you notice any of these.
When to Consult a General Surgeon
- Hernia: A bulge in the groin, belly button or an old scar, often worse when coughing or lifting.
- Gallstones: Repeated pain in the upper right abdomen, often after fatty food, with nausea.
- Appendicitis: Pain that starts near the navel and moves to the lower right abdomen, with fever or vomiting. This is an emergency.
- Piles, fissure or fistula: Bleeding, pain or discharge around the anus.
- Breast lump: Any new lump, change in shape or nipple discharge should be checked promptly.
- Thyroid swelling: A lump or swelling in the front of the neck, with or without hormone problems.
Severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, a hernia that is hard and painful, or fever with abdominal pain needs urgent medical attention. Call +91 62623 04050.
