The General Surgery Department of Medicana Hospitals provides a wide range of services for evaluating and managing various disorders. Our team of skilled surgeons is prepared to offer the most excellent standard of care, utilizing the most recent methods and tools to produce the best results for our patients.

Our offerings consist of:

Abdominal Surgery: At Medicana Hospitals, abdominal surgery entails the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and appendix. Our team of skilled surgeons is prepared to offer the most excellent standard of care, utilizing the most recent methods and tools to produce the best results for our patients.

The following are a few of the frequent procedures the abdominal surgery department performs:

Surgery to strengthen a weak spot in the abdominal wall that causes organs or tissues to protrude through is known as hernia repair.

  • Gallbladder surgery: Gallbladder removal may be required if the patient has gallstones or other issues relating to the gallbladder.
  • Diverticulitis surgery:If a patient has a chronic ailment, diverticulitis, surgery removes a portion of the colon.
  • Surgery for gastrointestinal cancer:Removal of tumors or malignant growths in the intestines or stomach.
  • Bariatric surgery: Patients who need to lose weight may benefit from procedures like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.


Our surgeons have a proven track record of success and a wealth of experience performing these operations. We also offer a multidisciplinary approach to guarantee that patients receive the finest care possible—specialists, including anesthesiologists, nurses, and dietitians.

  • Endocrine Surgery : Endocrine surgery is used at Medicana Hospitals to identify and treat diseases that affect the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pancreatic endocrine glands. Hormones produced by these glands control various body processes, including metabolism, growth, and development.
     Our team of skilled surgeons is prepared to offer the most excellent standard of care, utilizing the most recent methods and tools to produce the best results for our patients. The following are some of the frequent procedures our Endocrine Surgery Department regularly performs:


  • Thyroid surgery : Located at the front of the neck, the thyroid gland creates hormones that control metabolism. A thyroidectomy is surgery to remove all or a portion of the thyroid gland. It can be required if the patient has a thyroid nodule, thyroid cancer, or other thyroid-related issues.


  • Parathyroid surgery : The parathyroid glands, situated in the neck next to the thyroid gland and responsible for producing hormones that control blood calcium levels, must be removed. The removal of one or more parathyroid glands is accomplished through parathyroid surgery, commonly referred to as a parathyroidectomy. This can be required if the patient has a parathyroid tumor or hyperparathyroidism.


  • Adrenal surgery:The adrenal glands, situated above each kidney, are responsible for producing hormones that control the body's reaction to stress, blood pressure, and other processes. Surgery to remove all or a portion of the adrenal gland is referred to as an adrenalectomy. This might be required if the patient has an adrenal tumor or other issues relating to the adrenals.


  • Pancreatic surgery:The pancreas is a vital organ situated behind the stomach. It produces enzymes that aid food digestion and hormones controlling blood sugar levels. A pancreatectomy, sometimes called pancreatic surgery, removes all or part of the pancreas. This can be required if the patient has a pancreatic tumor or other issues relating to the pancreas. 


  • Breast Surgery: Medicana Hospitals' Breast Surgery Department provides a wide range of treatments to diagnose and treat breast illnesses. Breast cancer surgery, including breast-conserving surgery, mastectomy, and reconstruction options such as breast implants and flap reconstruction, is a specialty of our team of highly skilled and experienced doctors.

Our department uses the newest tools and methods to achieve the most outstanding results for our patients. We also offer thorough pre-and postoperative care, counseling, and support services. Patients can take advantage of our 30 years of knowledge, extensive hospital network, and international accreditations by choosing Medicana Hospitals for breast surgery. Patients and our professionals collaborate to ensure they get the best possible care.

The department provides a variety of choices for bariatric surgery, including :

  • Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy : In this treatment, a significant section of the stomach is removed, leaving a stomach in the shape of a sleeve. As a result, the amount of food that may be consumed is decreased, and ghrelin production is constrained.


  • Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding : This operation involves encircling the upper stomach with an adjustable band to form a little stomach pouch. To lose the necessary amount of weight, the band can be changed.


  • Bariatric revision surgery : Patients who have previously undergone weight reduction surgery and are now experiencing weight return or other issues undergo this treatment.
