The Institution has one of the finest surgical departments in the city. It has not only experienced and competent surgeons but also has adequate and modern equipments within the operation theatres. Dr. M.N.Subramanya, MBBS, MS, is the Chief of Surgery. The other senior Surgeons in the department are Dr.B.T.Sampath Kumar, MBBS, MS, Mch, Dr.K.R.Srimurthy, MBBS, FRCS, (London) who also perform general surgery while at the same time catering to the needs of Urology and Pediatric and Laproscopic surgery of the patients. They have wide experience in both the fields. Dr. K.S.Shekar. MBBS, MS, Mch, FICS, FAIS, Plastic Surgeon and Dr.M.Madaiah, MBBS, MS, FRCS, D.Uro (London), FICS, Urologist add-up to the team. There are 2 Senior Residents / Senior Registrars with M.S. qualifications and 7 Junior Residents.
 
From simple surgeries to the most complicated and time consuming surgeries are being done on routine basis. The surgical team is assisted by a team of Anesthetists headed by Dr.A.Sreenivasa Babu, M.D. not only during surgery but also in the post operative care of the patients. There is a well-equipped postoperative care unit, which is no less than a step down ICU to take care of the patients post operatively.

The training in surgery for Residents, Junior Doctors and Postgraduate Students within the hospital is truly integrated, since patients receive multi-speciality cover with free exchange of knowledge between the consultants. Care of Trauma and orthopaedic surgery is also part of general surgery training programme, as the residents in surgery cover the responsibilities of that department as well.


The hospital has four major operation theatres, one minor operation theatre and one C Arm theatre located in the 5th floor. The theatre Suite has been constructed after paying special attention to the needs of the surgical team working with us, providing cool and filtered air, illumination and central supply of gases. The equipments are a blend of Indian and imported ones, the latter based on the need for sophistication. A fully equipped Central Sterilization Section with Autoclaving machinery is located near the theatre complex to cater to the sterile things for operations.

 
 
 
LAPAROSCOPY & ENDO SURGERY :
Laparoscopic surgery has come into prominence with the availability of latest generation Laparoscopic Equipments with video camera attachments. Newer operative procedures are being performed with the help of Laparoscopic Equipment. Example, Splenectomy, Adrenalectomy, Colectomy, Partial Gastrectomy, Hysterectomy, Hernia repair. Laparoscopic Surgery is minimal invasive, safe in majority of cases and conducted only under general anesthesia. Although the new technique may appear to be expensive, the extra cost incurred is counter balanced by savings on duration of hospital stay, less number of loss of working days, less medication and least operative scars.
 
Commonly performed Laparoscopic procedures are Cholecystectomy, Appendicectomy, Repair of Hernia, Ovarian cysts, Hysterectomy, Tubectomy, Release of adhesions, Liver biopsy, Nephrectomy. Laparscopy is also performed for Peptic Ulcer, Perforation, Meckels diverticulum, Colectomy, Rectal prolapse, AP resection.
 
We have well-trained and experienced Laparoscopic Surgeons in Dr.M.N.Subramanya, M.B.B.S., M.S. and Dr.K.R.Srimurthy, M.B.B.S. FRCS. The gastro intestinal endoscopy, both investigative and therapeutic, is under Dr.Naresh Bhat, Gastroenterologist with adequate training and experience in the speciality. The department has state-of-the-art equipments and provides good support to general surgical departments.

The Department of Surgery in the Hospital has been recognized by the National Board of Examinations in General Surgery [DNB IN GENERAL SURGERY]
