General Surgery & Hernia Treatment

About Our General Surgery Department

A bulge in the groin that gets bigger when you cough, gallbladder pain after every oily meal, sudden right-side stomach pain that won't settle, a lipoma or cyst your friends keep asking about, a non-healing wound after diabetes — these are the everyday surgical problems most adults will face at some point. The General Surgery Department at THANC Hospital in Kilpauk, Chennai treats inguinal/umbilical/incisional hernias (laparoscopic mesh repair, day-care for many cases), gallstone disease and gallbladder removal (laparoscopic cholecystectomy with same-day or next-day discharge), acute and chronic appendicitis, lipomas, sebaceous cysts and other soft-tissue lumps, breast lumps and biopsy procedures, perianal conditions like piles, fistula and fissure, abscess drainage, intestinal obstruction and acute abdomen emergencies, post-trauma abdominal surgery, and chronic wound care including diabetic foot. Most procedures are minimally invasive — fewer cuts, less pain, faster return to work.

We operate as day-care wherever it's safe to do so — many hernias and gallbladder surgeries let patients go home the same evening or the next morning, with clear written aftercare and a phone number for any concerns. For emergencies, our 24/7 surgical and anaesthesia cover means appendicitis, complicated hernias, abscesses, and trauma can be handled at any hour. We see patients of all adult ages, with senior consultant-led surgery (no independent trainees), structured pre-op anaesthesia review, and transparent estimates that include surgery, anaesthesia, and hospital stay — no surprise add-ons. Please consult our team if you have a hernia bulge, recurring upper-abdomen pain after meals, severe right lower abdominal pain (urgent), a lump under the skin you'd like removed, piles or perianal symptoms, a non-healing wound, or you've been told you need surgery and want a second opinion. Located in central Chennai with easy access from across Tamil Nadu, we offer dependable, transparent, and affordable general surgical care — all under one roof.
