Cholecystectomy
A cholecystectomy is a laparoscopic surgery to treat gallbladder stones and related complications. This relatively safe procedure involves removing the gallbladder but has a small risk of complications, including infection and bleeding.
AppendectomyÂ
An appendectomy is emergency surgery to remove an infected appendix. It can be performed as an open surgery or laparoscopy, depending on the situation. Laparoscopic surgery is less complicated, with shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery.
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
Laparoscopic hernia surgery is performed to treat inguinal hernias. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, wherein the surgeon inserts a laparoscope into the abdomen to identify the defect and perform the surgery.
Splenectomy
This is a surgical procedure to remove a diseased or damaged spleen. Physicians recommend splenectomy to treat ruptured or enlarged spleens, blood disorders, cancer, or remove a cyst inside the spleen.
Laparoscopic Surgery For GERD
Acid Reflux or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease refers to heartburn that does not go away with medication or lifestyle changes. It is caused by severe inflammation of the oesophagus, narrowing of the oesophagus, and a change in the cells because of acid reflux. Laparoscopic surgery or fundoplication is performed to tighten the oesophagus, thereby preventing the stomach acids from backing up into the oesophagus.

Breast Surgery
We are one of the few general surgery hospitals in Nagercoil offering different breast surgeries, including breast-conserving surgery and vacuum-assisted needle biopsy. Breast-conserving surgery, lumpectomy, or partial mastectomy, involves removing part of the breast with cancer, viz., the cancer lump and some breast tissues around the lump. Similarly, a vacuum-assisted needle biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that helps predict the degree of disease in malignant tumours.
Colorectal Surgery
Colorectal surgery refers to various procedures that fix bowel, colon, rectum, and anus problems. It can treat IBS, colon and rectal cancer, and bowel blockage and may be necessary after an injury or wound. Most colorectal surgeries are high-risk procedures and could take around 1-3 hours.
GI/Endocrine Surgery
Endocrine surgeries treat various conditions, including Goitre, Graves’ Disease, Adrenal cancer, thyroid cancer, thyroid cyst, and obesity. Consult our surgical specialist in Nagercoil to take on complex endocrine problems that require experience and expertise.
Hernia Surgery
Hernia surgery is performed to treat an internal organ that protrudes through the muscle wall that usually contains it. There are different types of hernia, viz. open surgery, laparoscopic hernia, and robotic repair. Calwin Hospitals offers laparoscopic hernia repair surgery to ensure a quick recovery and less pain.
Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgery refers to procedures that treat diseases of the vascular system. Consult the best general surgeon in Nagercoil to successfully treat conditions like hyperlipidemia, stroke, and other vascular infections.
