General Surgery
Our Department of Surgery was incepted at Ruby Hall Clinic way back in 1959. Since then it is running under the supervision of well-qualified and prominent surgeons of global repute.
With the modernisation of the hospital, the addition of sophisticated laboratory facilities, and state-of-the-art imaging services round the clock, the department has grown leaps and bounds. Today, it’s recognised as a modern and dependable centre for emergency and routine surgical work. It is now known as a tertiary referral centre and caters to patients not only from Pune and around but from all over the country and abroad also.
All types of major and very complicated procedures are carried out regularly in our operation theatres equipped with modern operative instruments and anesthesia machines. It includes all types of abdominal surgery like major organ resections, laparoscopic minimally invasive procedures like cholecystectomies, hernias, appendicectomies, resections, thoracic surgery, cancer surgery including head and neck surgery, breast surgery, anorectal procedures with the use of staples, and major trauma and emergency work. The operation theatres are looked after 24/7 by dedicated and highly trained staff.
Surgery for digestive diseases has witnessed several path-breaking developments over the last 2 decades. With advancements in the available surgical technology several existing procedures were refined and several innovative operations were introduced. To assimilate these developments, surgery for malignant and benign diseases of the digestive tract has evolved as the super specialty of Surgical Gastroenterology (G I surgery).
The emergence of specialized G I surgery centres committed only towards the management of digestive tract ailments led to an improved understanding of various disease processes and their treatment. With the centralization of digestive disease patients in SGE facility, seemingly complex and hitherto infrequently performed procedures were performed with ease, in high volumes, and with a significant reduction in the incidence and severity of procedure-related adverse events. Together with early recognition and better management of remaining such events, there was an overall superior post-surgical and long-term outcome at dedicated SGE facilities. Many of the current clinical practices have been extensively researched and are supported by a high level of evidence.
