General Surgery Hospital in Malad, Mumbai
When a family member needs an operation, the questions usually come from everyone at home, not just the patient. CritiCare Asia Hospitals in Malad is a general surgery hospital in Mumbai that looks after adults and older family members facing abdominal and soft-tissue problems, from appendicitis and hernia to gallbladder disease and urgent surgery. Some cases are planned, and some are not. That is why the same department handles both. Where it is safe, surgeons use laparoscopic surgery, which means small incisions and, for most patients, a gentler recovery.
Open surgery remains the choice when keyhole is not suitable, and the surgeon says why before the operation, to the patient and to the relatives who are with them. The department stays involved after discharge too, through follow-up visits that check healing and reports.
Conditions We Treat
The conditions below bring most patients to general surgery. Some come with one bad night, others after months of putting up with a symptom. Early assessment for appendicitis treatment, hernia, and gallbladder problems usually makes the plan simpler.
Appendicitis
pain beginning near the navel and moving to the lower right abdomen, often with nausea, fever, or no appetite. It can affect any age, and a ruptured appendix is far harder to treat.Hernia
a soft bulge in the groin, near the navel or at an earlier surgical scar. Some only ache when coughing or lifting. If one turns hard and painful and cannot be pushed back, come in at once.Gallbladder disease
stones or inflammation causing pain under the right ribs, usually after rich meals, sometimes with fever or jaundice.Emergencies
bowel perforation, bleeding inside the abdomen after an injury, a strangulated hernia or a spreading abscess, treated without waiting for a planned admission.
Treatments & Procedures
Blood tests, ultrasound and, if needed, CT or endoscopy come first, and surgery is advised only when it will help. The department performs:
Appendicectomy, laparoscopic where possible and open when infection has spread.
Hernia repair, closing the weak area and usually placing mesh for support, by keyhole or open methods according to the hernia.
Gallbladder surgery, most often by keyhole, with open surgery for complicated cases and other methods when the bile duct holds stones or the gallbladder is infected.
Drainage of abscesses and removal of cysts and lipomas.
Emergency laparotomy when there is perforation, obstruction or internal bleeding.
Anyone considering hernia surgery in Malad, Mumbai will usually hear that keyhole and open repair both have a place. Extensive infection, previous abdominal operations, or other illnesses can rule keyhole out, and the surgeon may convert to open surgery mid-operation if safety demands it.
