Frequently Asked Questions
Abdominal surgery may be required for problems like appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder stones, intestinal obstruction, ulcers, tumors, or abdominal trauma. At Diwan Hospital, surgeries are performed using both laparoscopic (keyhole) and open techniques depending on the case. Laparoscopic surgery is often preferred because it allows faster healing, smaller scars, and less pain, while open surgery may be necessary for complicated or emergency cases. Patients receive thorough pre-operative evaluation, advanced imaging, and post-operative care to ensure safety and long-term results.
Advanced urosurgery covers surgical treatment for kidney stones, prostate enlargement, bladder disorders, and urinary tract blockages. Some patients may also require surgery for kidney tumors or congenital urinary conditions. If you experience symptoms such as painful urination, frequent infections, blood in urine, difficulty passing urine, or severe kidney stone pain, it is important to consult a urosurgeon immediately. Diwan Hospital uses modern techniques like endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures that shorten recovery time and provide effective relief.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique where a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint through tiny incisions. It helps doctors see inside the joint and treat problems like ligament tears, meniscus injuries, arthritis, or shoulder dislocations. Since it uses small cuts, arthroscopy causes less tissue damage, minimal scarring, and quicker rehabilitation compared to open surgery. It is commonly performed for knee, shoulder, ankle, and wrist issues. At Diwan Hospital, patients also receive physiotherapy support to regain full mobility after surgery.
Breast diseases can range from common issues like infections and benign lumps to more serious problems such as breast cancer. Early detection is very important, so evaluation may include ultrasound, mammography, or biopsy. Treatment depends on the diagnosis—antibiotics for infections, surgery to remove lumps or cysts, or cancer surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiation when needed. Diwan Hospital ensures women receive compassionate, safe, and complete breast care, from screening to surgery and post-treatment follow-up.
Cancer surgery involves removing cancerous tumors or tissues from organs like the breast, colon, thyroid, stomach, or soft tissues. It is usually recommended when cancer is localized and has not spread widely, as surgery can completely remove the disease. In some cases, it is combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeted therapy to prevent recurrence. At Diwan Hospital, specialized cancer surgeons carefully evaluate the stage of cancer and recommend the safest and most effective surgical approach.
People with diabetes are at risk of foot problems due to poor blood circulation and nerve damage. Diabetic foot complications may include ulcers, slow-healing wounds, skin infections, or in severe cases, gangrene. Diwan Hospital offers comprehensive diabetic foot care including wound cleaning, infection control, vascular assessment, and advanced dressings. Surgical treatments may include removal of dead tissue, reconstructive surgery, or bypass to improve blood flow. Early treatment helps avoid amputations and improves quality of life for diabetic patients.
Endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure where a flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the digestive tract. It helps detect ulcers, gastritis, stomach bleeding, cancers, and polyps. The procedure is usually quick, safe, and performed under mild sedation to ensure patient comfort. Endoscopy not only helps in early diagnosis but also allows for therapeutic procedures like removing small growths or stopping bleeding. At Diwan Hospital, endoscopy is performed with advanced equipment to ensure accurate results and timely treatment.
Joint replacement surgery is recommended when severe arthritis, trauma, or deformity causes intense pain and loss of mobility that does not improve with medicines or physiotherapy. The damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis) made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. Hip and knee replacements are most common, but shoulder and elbow replacements are also available. At Diwan Hospital, joint replacement surgeries are planned with advanced imaging and carried out using modern techniques to maximize long-term results and help patients return to normal life.
A hernia occurs when internal organs push through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Laparoscopic hernia repair uses small cuts, a camera, and mesh reinforcement to strengthen the weak area. Compared to open surgery, it involves less pain, minimal blood loss, quicker discharge (often within 1–2 days), and smaller scars. It is suitable for inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias. At Diwan Hospital, surgeons evaluate each patient carefully to choose the best approach, ensuring safety and faster recovery.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the minimally invasive removal of the gallbladder, usually performed for gallstones. It involves small cuts in the abdomen instead of a large open incision. Patients benefit from less post-surgery pain, shorter hospital stay, faster healing, and tiny scars. The risk of complications is very low in experienced hands. At Diwan Hospital, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is performed routinely with excellent outcomes, making it the preferred option for most patients.
Varicose veins occur when veins in the legs become enlarged and painful due to poor blood flow. Laser surgery is a modern treatment where a laser fiber is inserted into the vein to seal it shut, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. It is a daycare procedure with almost no cuts, less pain, and very short recovery time. Patients can often resume work the next day. Diwan Hospital offers this advanced therapy to provide long-term relief from swelling, pain, and cosmetic issues of varicose veins.
Thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) is performed when patients have large thyroid nodules, goiter causing breathing/swallowing difficulty, thyroid cancer, or an overactive thyroid that does not respond to medication. Surgery may involve removing part of the thyroid (lobectomy) or the entire gland (total thyroidectomy). At Diwan Hospital, surgery is performed with utmost care to avoid complications and ensure smooth recovery. Patients are guided with follow-up care including hormone replacement if needed.
Trauma surgery is a specialized branch dealing with injuries caused by accidents, falls, or violence. It includes emergency operations to stop bleeding, repair internal organ injuries, fix fractures, and stabilize patients. At Diwan Hospital, trauma cases are managed with a multidisciplinary team involving surgeons, orthopaedicians, and critical care experts. Quick intervention within the “golden hour” saves lives and prevents long-term complications.
Plastic surgery includes both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Reconstructive surgery restores function and appearance after accidents, burns, or congenital deformities like cleft lip. Cosmetic procedures may include scar correction, body contouring, or aesthetic improvements. At Diwan Hospital, plastic surgeons use modern techniques to ensure natural results, faster recovery, and improved confidence for patients.
General surgery covers a wide range of routine and emergency procedures such as appendectomy, hernia repair, piles, fissure, fistula treatment, abscess drainage, and removal of cysts or tumors. Depending on the case, both laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and open surgery options are available. The hospital ensures safe anesthesia, careful monitoring, and post-operative care to support smooth recovery for all patients.
