General Surgery Hospital in Andheri East, Mumbai

Surgical problems rarely wait for a convenient week. CritiCare Asia Hospitals in Andheri East is a general surgery hospital in Mumbai where appendicitis, hernia, gallbladder disease and abdominal emergencies are assessed quickly and managed by one surgical team. Patients are asked to leave less to chance: the diagnosis, the options and the likely timeline are laid out early. Where the condition allows, laparoscopic surgery through small incisions keeps the hospital stay and the time away from routine shorter than it would be with a large cut. Not every case suits keyhole surgery. When open surgery is the safer route, the surgeon explains the reason before the operation. Tests are arranged so that results are ready for the consultation wherever possible.

Conditions We Treat

Busy people tend to ignore the first signs. These are the conditions that most often bring patients in, and the point at which delay starts to cost something.

  • Appendicitis
    pain around the navel moving to the lower right abdomen, with nausea, fever, or a poor appetite. Rupture becomes more likely the longer it goes untreated, which is why appendicitis treatment should not be postponed.

  • Hernia
    a bulge in the groin, at the navel or on an old scar. A hernia that is hard, painful and will not reduce is an emergency.

  • Gallstones and gallbladder disease
    pain beneath the right ribs after meals, sometimes with nausea, fever or jaundice.

  • Surgical emergencies
    perforation, internal bleeding after injury, strangulated hernia and abscesses that are spreading.

Treatments & Procedures

Diagnosis uses blood tests, ultrasound and, if required, CT scanning or endoscopy. Surgery is recommended only after those findings. The procedures offered include:

  • Appendicectomy, usually keyhole, and open if infection is advanced.

  • Hernia repair with the weak area closed and often reinforced with mesh. For hernia surgery in Andheri East, Mumbai, the laparoscopic or open choice depends on the hernia's type and size.

  • Gallbladder surgery, mainly laparoscopic, with open surgery for complicated cases and other approaches for bile duct stones or an infected gallbladder.

  • Draining abscesses and removing cysts and lipomas.

  • Emergency laparotomy for perforation, obstruction or internal bleeding.

Keyhole surgery generally means less pain and a quicker return to ordinary activity, though it is not right for everyone. Severe infection, previous abdominal surgery and overall health all feed into the decision, and a switch to open surgery during the operation is possible if safety calls for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Earlier scan or test reports, a list of current medicines, and any previous surgical records. These help the surgeon reach a decision faster.

The answer depends on the surgery and the nature of your job. Your surgeon will advise at discharge and review progress at follow-up.

That depends on the procedure and how you recover. Your surgeon will tell you what to expect before the operation.

Usually not. The liver continues producing bile. Some people notice looser stools for a short period.

It is a lump in the thyroid, most of which are benign. Ultrasound and sometimes needle sampling assess the risk. Surgery is advised for suspicious, large or symptomatic nodules.

It depends on the operation and your job. Desk work may resume sooner than physical work. Your surgeon will advise, and wound care and activity limits matter in the early weeks.

It needs prompt attention because the appendix can burst. Pain that moves to the lower right side, especially with fever or vomiting, should be checked without delay.
