GI Surgery & Gallbladder Surgery

About Our Gastrointestinal Surgery Department

Persistent acid reflux that medication doesn't fully control, recurring upper abdominal pain after meals, unexplained weight loss with stomach symptoms, blood in stools that needs proper investigation, a colon polyp found on screening colonoscopy, or a liver/pancreas mass picked up on a scan — gastrointestinal problems range from common nuisances to serious cancers, and the right surgeon makes a real difference. The Gastrointestinal Surgery Department at THANC Hospital in Kilpauk, Chennai treats GERD and reflux that fails medical therapy, hiatus hernia, oesophageal disorders and tumours, gastric ulcers and stomach cancer, gallstones with complications like pancreatitis or jaundice, liver tumours and cysts, pancreatic cysts and tumours (including the Whipple operation when indicated), inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), colorectal cancer screening and surgery, colon polyps and rectal bleeding investigation, piles, fissure and complex anal fistula, and gastrointestinal trauma. We work closely with medical gastroenterology so you don't bounce between teams.

Laparoscopy is the default — most upper-GI, gallbladder, intestinal, and many colorectal procedures are done through 3–5 small ports rather than a large open cut, which means less pain, faster mobilisation, and shorter hospital stays. For cancers, every case is reviewed by a tumour board (surgery, gastroenterology, oncology, radiology, pathology together) before we recommend a treatment plan. Liver, pancreatic, and biliary surgery is handled by specifically trained HPB surgeons in this team. Please consult our team if reflux or stomach pain isn't responding to medication, you have gallstones with episodes of pain or jaundice, blood in your stool needs investigation, you have a known polyp or family history of colon cancer, you've been told a Whipple or major liver/pancreas operation is needed and want a second opinion, or you have IBD that's losing response to medical therapy. Located in central Chennai with easy access from across Tamil Nadu, we offer dependable, transparent, and affordable GI surgical care — all under one roof.
