When to Consult Our Gastrointestinal Surgery Team

Early evaluation leads to better outcomes. Speak to our team if you notice any of these:

Symptomatic gallstones are usually best treated with laparoscopic removal.

Hernia (groin, umbilical, incisional)

Hernias can often be repaired with minimally invasive techniques.

Reflux, hiatus hernia, or swallowing difficulty

Structured evaluation guides whether medical or surgical treatment is right for you.

Piles, fissure, or fistula

Most anorectal problems are treatable — often with simple, minimally invasive options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laparoscopic surgery better than open surgery?

For most common GI procedures, laparoscopy offers less pain, smaller scars, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay. Open surgery is reserved for cases where it is clinically safer.

How urgent is gallstone surgery?

Gallstones without symptoms often do not need surgery. Symptomatic gallstones — or complications like pancreatitis or jaundice — usually need planned removal to prevent worse attacks.

Can hernias be managed without surgery?

Small, painless hernias in selected patients may be monitored. Most symptomatic hernias are best repaired surgically — usually with a planned, short operation.

What are the treatment options for piles?

Most piles respond to dietary and medical measures. Persistent or severe cases may benefit from minimally invasive procedures like laser or stapler techniques, or — rarely — traditional surgery.

Will THANC give me a written estimate for GI surgery?

Yes. After clinical evaluation and imaging, our team shares a clear, itemised estimate. THANC's rates are consistently below prevailing Chennai market rates.
