Dr. Gagan Saboo, Consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon, has documented expertise in advanced laparoscopic surgery and minimally invasive surgical techniques.

When clinically appropriate, minimally invasive approaches may help reduce postoperative discomfort and support faster recovery compared with some conventional surgical approaches. The choice of procedure and surgical technique depends on the patient's condition, medical history and clinical assessment. The department's approach emphasizes accurate diagnosis, discussion of treatment options, appropriate surgical planning and postoperative follow-up. Patients can seek consultation for general surgical concerns, planned procedures and conditions that may require timely surgical assessment. The goal is to provide safe, evidence-based and individualized care throughout the surgical journey.

General surgery addresses conditions that may require medical assessment, minor surgical intervention or an operation. These include abdominal and gastrointestinal conditions, gallbladder disease, hernias, appendicitis, colorectal disorders, breast and thyroid conditions, and lumps involving the skin or soft tissues. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach used for selected procedures, including gallbladder removal and certain hernia operations. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, severity of the condition, previous surgical history and the surgeon's assessment. Open surgery may be recommended when it is clinically more appropriate. Colorectal and proctological care includes assessment and management of piles, anal fissures and fistulas. General surgical consultation may also cover diabetic foot concerns, surgical infections, skin lumps and conditions requiring urgent surgical evaluation. Assessment typically involves a clinical history, physical examination and investigations selected according to the patient's symptoms. Treatment planning may include medication, observation, a minor procedure or surgery. Postoperative instructions and follow-up form part of ongoing care. Specific investigations, surgical techniques and emergency services should be confirmed with the hospital before being advertised as available onsite.
