Best General Surgeon Dehradun | Laparoscopic Surgery

About This Department

General Surgery in Dehradun

The General Surgery Department at MS Galaxy Hospital, Dehradun offers expert surgical care for abdominal, breast, endocrine and emergency surgical conditions, with a strong emphasis on laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for faster recovery and minimal pain.

Led by Dr. Rohit Arora and Dr. Madhu — both MS General Surgeons — our department handles everything from laparoscopic gallbladder removal and hernia repair to thyroid surgery, breast conditions and emergency abdominal surgery. Most elective procedures are performed laparoscopically — meaning smaller cuts, less pain, and discharge within 24–48 hours.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of gallbladder removal in Dehradun?

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy at MS Galaxy Hospital, Dehradun is very reasonably priced. Cost includes surgery, anaesthesia, 1–2 nights stay and medicines. Call 9760316002 for an estimate.

Is laparoscopic hernia repair better than open?

Laparoscopic hernia repair (TEP or TAPP) has a lower recurrence rate, less post-operative pain and faster recovery compared to open repair. However, suitability depends on hernia type and size. Your surgeon will advise.

Can gallstones be treated without surgery?

No safe non-surgical option exists for symptomatic gallstones. Dietary changes may reduce symptoms temporarily but the gallbladder must eventually be removed to prevent complications like acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis.
