FAQs – General, Laparoscopic & Breast Surgeon
When should I consult a general surgeon?
If you have persistent abdominal pain, hernias, gallstones, breast lumps, or require surgical evaluation for any swelling or infection, consulting a general surgeon is advised.
Is laparoscopic surgery safe?
Yes. Laparoscopic surgery is safe and widely used, offering benefits like smaller incisions, less pain, quicker recovery, and reduced hospital stay.
Does every breast lump require surgery?
No. Many breast lumps are benign. A thorough evaluation is done first, and surgery is recommended only if necessary.
How long is recovery after laparoscopic surgery?
Most patients recover faster compared to open surgery and can resume normal activities within a few days to weeks, depending on the procedure.
Are hernias treated without surgery?
Hernias usually require surgical repair for long-term treatment. Early intervention prevents complications.
Is surgery required for gallstones?
Surgery is recommended if gallstones cause pain, infection, or digestive issues. Asymptomatic stones may only need monitoring.
Is post-surgical follow-up important?
Yes. Follow-up ensures proper healing, early detection of complications, and guidance on activity and diet.
