Conditions & procedures

The conditions, in plain language

Every page linked below is written the same way Dr. Khanna talks in the OPD — what the condition is, when surgery genuinely helps, when it can wait, and what recovery honestly looks like. Start with the condition closest to your symptoms; each page links onward to the deeper guides.

Hernia — groin, navel, or old scar

A bulge that appears on standing or straining and flattens when you lie down is the classic sign. Hernia surgery in Surat covers inguinal, umbilical and incisional repair with laparoscopic mesh technique; hernia treatment summarises the repair options, and the hernia decision guide explains — with published evidence — when surgeons advise watching, repairing now, or repairing later.

Gallbladder stones

Often silent, until a stone blocks the outlet and triggers severe upper-abdominal pain. Gallbladder stone surgery explains symptoms, keyhole removal and recovery; laparoscopic cholecystectomy covers the operation itself, and this article answers whether stones can simply be left alone.

Appendicitis

Pain that starts around the navel and settles low on the right, worsening over hours — an emergency, not a wait-and-see problem. Appendix surgery in Surat covers recognition, laparoscopic appendectomy, and what happens in complicated or ruptured cases.

Piles, fissure & fistula

Bleeding, pain, or swelling around the back passage — extremely common, heavily under-reported, and treated discreetly. Piles & fistula treatment covers conservative care through stapler and laser options; compare approaches honestly in surgery vs non-surgical treatment.

Hydrocele

A painless fluid swelling around the testis, corrected by straightforward day surgery when it bothers you. See hydrocele surgery for the procedure and hydrocele treatment for honest guidance on when an operation is — and isn't — needed.

Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery

The approach behind most of the operations above: a camera and fine instruments through small incisions, meaning less pain and an earlier discharge. Laparoscopic surgery in Surat explains how it works and when open surgery is still the wiser choice — compared in detail in laparoscopic vs open surgery.

Revision & complex GI surgery

Recurrent hernias, complications from earlier operations, and difficult abdomens — the second operation is always harder than the first. Revision & complex GI surgery explains how three decades of open and laparoscopic experience are applied to these cases.

Before you decide

Two guides are worth reading whichever condition brings you here: what actually determines the cost of surgery in Surat — anaesthesia, stay length, technique, insurance and Ayushman Bharat — and how to choose a laparoscopic surgeon, a no-rankings checklist of qualifications, case experience and hospital infrastructure. The patient FAQ answers the questions most people ask before a first visit, and all patient education articles are free to read. Several guides are also available in Gujarati and Hindi: પિત્તાશયની પથરી · પાઈલ્સ અને ફિસ્ટુલા · સર્જન કેવી રીતે પસંદ કરવા · पित्ताशय की पथरी · पाइल्स और फिस्टुला · हर्निया सर्जरी · सर्जन कैसे चुनें.
