General & Gastrointestinal Surgery at Eternal Hospital
At Eternal Hospital, the General and Gastrointestinal Surgery Department offers advanced treatment options for the full spectrum of digestive and abdominal problems, using traditional methods, laparoscopic techniques, and the latest robot-assisted surgeries with the da Vinci Xi surgical system. Robot-assisted minimally invasive techniques are routinely used to enhance surgical precision, minimize tissue trauma, and support faster recovery. Even complex gastrointestinal and general surgical conditions are managed with consistently high success rates, guided by evidence-based practices and the expertise of an experienced surgical team.
Overview
General and gastrointestinal surgeries are procedures used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the digestive system and abdominal organs. General and GI surgeons may operate on organs such as the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, appendix, and abdominal wall. These surgeries address a wide range of functional, inflammatory, and structural disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
There are many reasons a person may require general or gastrointestinal surgery, including gallstones, hernias, appendicitis, gastrointestinal tumors, bowel obstruction, reflux disease, or other digestive conditions that do not respond to medical treatment. General and GI surgeons care for patients of all ages. At Eternal Hospital, our surgical team offers a wide range of The surgeon evaluates various surgical options, including robotic-assisted procedures, and selects the most appropriate approach based on the patient's condition, safety considerations, and expected outcomes.
The state-of-the-art da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system at Eternal Hospital significantly enhances surgical control and precision during robotic general and gastrointestinal surgeries. Its advanced features and reliable success rates make it particularly useful for complicated gastrointestinal surgeries and for patients who are at greater risk.
Types
Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Removal Surgery)
Gallbladder Removal Surgery is done to remove the gallbladder in patients with symptomatic gallstones or gallbladder disease. At Eternal Hospital, this surgery can be performed using minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic and robot-assisted cholecystectomy. However, if required, doctors can plan an open surgery for it. The robotic approach supported by da Vinci Xi allows precise dissection with smaller incisions, resulting in reduced pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery.
Hernia Repair
Hernia repair is a surgical procedure to correct a bulge where an organ protrudes through a weakened area in muscle or tissue, commonly in the abdomen or groin. The operation may be performed with a traditional approach (with a single large incision), laparoscopic or advanced robot-assisted hernia repair (small incisions with minimally invasive techniques), or primary closure (with just surgical stitches). Surgeons reposition the tissue and support the area with stitches and a surgical mesh. The recovery duration varies but typically requires complete rest for weeks. With robot-assisted hernia repair, the patient recovers sooner.
Fundoplication
Fundoplication is a common surgical procedure for managing acid reflux issues. This type of surgery involves wrapping the stomach's upper portion (fundus) around the lower esophagus to reinforce the valve, thereby preventing the backflow of stomach acid (reflux) into the food pipe (esophagus). Fundoplication is typically indicated for severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or hiatal hernias. At Eternal, surgeons often choose robot-assisted fundoplication or laparoscopic surgery, which are minimally invasive techniques that allow faster recovery. However, if required, the traditional open approach can be adopted depending upon the circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What conditions require general or gastrointestinal surgery?
A: Conditions like inflammation of the gallbladder, appendicitis, acid reflux, intestinal blockage, gastrointestinal tumors, hernias, and certain diseases of the gut can sometimes only be managed with surgery when non-surgical therapy options have failed to provide relief.
Q2: How much time does it take to recover from general or GI surgery?
A: At Eternal Hospital, minimally invasive (laparoscopic and robot-assisted) and traditional gastrointestinal and general surgeries tend to provide faster recovery than conventional open procedures. Depending on the method, these time frames could be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Q3: Is general/GI surgery painful?
A: General and gastrointestinal surgeries are performed under anesthesia, so pain is not felt during the procedure. After surgery, mild to moderate discomfort may occur, which is effectively managed with medications and supportive care.
Q4: How long does general/GI surgery take?
A: The duration of surgery depends on the type of procedure and the severity of the condition. Most general and GI surgeries take one to three hours, while more complex procedures may require additional time.
Q5: Is general/GI surgery considered major surgery?
A: Some general and gastrointestinal surgeries are considered major, while others are minor or minimally invasive. Advances such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery have improved safety and reduced hospital stays for many procedures.
Q6: Can general/GI surgery be performed using minimally invasive or robotic techniques?
A: Yes. Many general and gastrointestinal surgeries can be performed using minimally invasive or robotic-assisted techniques, offering greater precision, less discomfort, and faster recovery for suitable patients.
Q7: Is general/GI surgery safe for older adults or children?
A: When medically necessary, general and gastrointestinal surgery can be safely performed in both elderly patients and children. The surgical approach is carefully selected based on the patient’s age, overall health, and specific condition.
