Overview
General & Laparoscopic Surgery at Surgery Wallah
General surgery covers many of the most common reasons people need an operation, from hernias and gallbladder stones to appendicitis, lumps and abscesses. Most of these problems can today be treated with laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon works through a few small cuts using a camera and fine instruments. Compared with open surgery, this usually means less pain, smaller scars, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to work. Our surgeons assess each patient carefully and recommend surgery only when it is truly needed.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Have another question? Call or WhatsApp us and our team will help.
Ask on WhatsAppIs laparoscopic surgery safe?
For most common conditions it is a well-established, safe technique. Your surgeon will tell you whether it suits your case.
How long is the hospital stay?
After keyhole hernia or gallbladder surgery, many patients go home within one to two days.
Will a hernia go away without surgery?
A hernia does not heal on its own. Surgery is the definitive treatment, and your surgeon will advise on the right time.
When can I return to work?
Many people return to desk work within one to two weeks. Heavy lifting usually needs to wait longer.
Will I have a big scar after laparoscopic surgery?
No. Keyhole surgery uses three or four small cuts of about 5–10 mm, which usually heal to small, faint marks.
Is a mesh safe for hernia repair?
Mesh repair is the standard treatment for most hernias and lowers the chance of the hernia coming back. Your surgeon will explain the type used.
