Comprehensive Surgical Procedures
Our department handles the full spectrum of elective and emergency surgical conditions, utilising advanced techniques for faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Hernia Repair
Advanced repair techniques for all types of hernias including inguinal, umbilical, incisional, and hiatus hernias. We offer laparoscopic TEP/TAPP repairs with durable mesh reinforcement.
Surgical Oncology
Curative and palliative cancer surgery supported by a multidisciplinary tumour board. Expertise in breast cancer (oncoplastic), colorectal, gastric, and hepatobiliary tumours.
Proctology
Sensitive, confidential treatment for anorectal conditions. We offer stapled haemorrhoidopexy (PPH) for piles, VAAFT/LIFT for fistulas, and sphincterotomy for fissures.
Endocrine Surgery
Precision surgery for thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. We use intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) to protect the voice box during thyroidectomies.
24/7 Emergency Surgery
Round-the-clock rapid response surgical cover for acute appendicitis, bowel obstruction, hollow viscus perforation, strangulated hernias, and abdominal trauma.
Hernia Surgery
Hernia Repair — Open & Laparoscopic
Hernias are one of the most common surgical conditions we treat. KG Speciality Centre offers all hernia repair techniques — from day-case laparoscopic repairs to complex incisional hernia reconstructions — using modern mesh materials that provide durable, long-lasting results.
Inguinal Hernia
Laparoscopic TEP (Total Extra-Peritoneal) repair is our standard — mesh placed without entering the abdominal cavity. Day surgery in most cases.
Umbilical & Paraumbilical Hernia
Laparoscopic or open repair with mesh reinforcement. Day surgery for smaller defects. Recurrence rate <1% with mesh.
Incisional Hernia
Component separation technique and biological mesh for large abdominal wall defects. Complex reconstructions managed by our specialist team.
Hiatus Hernia
Laparoscopic repair of stomach herniation through the diaphragm, combined with fundoplication for reflux symptoms.
Strangulated Hernia
Emergency surgery for hernias with compromised blood supply. 24/7 availability with expedited theatre access to prevent bowel ischaemia.
Femoral Hernia
Laparoscopic TAPP or TEP repair preferred. Higher strangulation risk than inguinal — early repair advised for all femoral hernias.
Proctology & Colorectal
Proctology & Anorectal Surgery
Anorectal conditions such as haemorrhoids, fissures and fistulas are extremely common yet often undertreated due to patient embarrassment. At KG Speciality Centre, our dedicated proctology clinic offers sensitive, confidential and effective surgical treatment.
01
Haemorrhoidectomy & Stapled Haemorrhoidopexy
Grades II–IV internal haemorrhoids (piles) · Day Surgery
+
Stapled haemorrhoidopexy (PPH) is our preferred technique for Grade III–IV haemorrhoids — less painful than conventional haemorrhoidectomy with faster recovery. Grade II haemorrhoids are managed with rubber band ligation in the outpatient clinic. Conventional Milligan–Morgan haemorrhoidectomy performed for Grade IV disease where appropriate.
- ✓ Stapled PPH — day case
- ✓ Rubber band ligation — outpatient
- ✓ Return to work: 3–5 days
- ✓ Less pain vs conventional excision
02
Fistula-in-Ano Surgery (VAAFT / LIFT / Fistulotomy)
Anorectal fistulas, complex & recurrent · Sphincter Sparing
+
KG Speciality Centre offers the full range of fistula-in-ano treatments including Video-Assisted Anal Fistula Treatment (VAAFT), Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT) and conventional fistulotomy — selecting the technique based on fistula type and proximity to the sphincter to preserve continence.
- ✓ VAAFT — minimally invasive camera
- ✓ LIFT procedure for high fistulas
- ✓ Seton placement for complex cases
- ✓ Continence preservation priority
03
Fissure-in-Ano & Lateral Sphincterotomy
Chronic anal fissure, high anal tone · Day Case
+
Lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) is the definitive surgical treatment for chronic anal fissure unresponsive to medical management. The procedure takes under 30 minutes, is performed as a day case and has a success rate exceeding 95%. Botulinum toxin injection is offered as a non-surgical alternative.
- ✓ Day case — 30 minutes
- ✓ Success rate: 95%+
- ✓ Botox alternative available
- ✓ Return to work: 3–5 days
04
Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
Pilonidal disease, recurrent sinus, abscess · Minimal Recurrence
+
KG Speciality Centre uses the Karydakis flap and Bascom cleft lift techniques for pilonidal sinus — significantly reducing recurrence rates compared to simple excision and open healing. Minimally invasive sinusectomy (EPSIT) is available for primary and recurrent cases.
- ✓ Karydakis / Bascom flap techniques
- ✓ EPSIT for minimally invasive option
- ✓ Recurrence rate <5% with flap
- ✓ Hospital stay: Day case to 1 day

Our Care Pathway
Patient-Centred Surgical Care.
Facing surgery can be daunting. At KG Speciality Centre, Ganapathy, we ensure you are fully informed and supported throughout your surgical journey — from your first outpatient consultation to your complete recovery at home.
With over 95% of our elective procedures performed laparoscopically, our patients benefit from smaller incisions, significantly less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and a much faster return to work and normal activities compared to traditional open surgery.
Our team focuses not just on the technical success of the operation, but on your overall well-being, utilising multimodal analgesia and enhanced recovery protocols.
Comprehensive Pre-Op Assessment
Thorough anaesthetic review, cardiac fitness checks, and optimisation of existing conditions (like diabetes or hypertension) before your surgery date.
Minimally Invasive Focus
By prioritising keyhole surgery, we reduce physical trauma, lower infection risks, and often allow for same-day or next-day discharge.
Optimised Pain Management
Carefully tailored pain relief strategies in recovery and on the ward to ensure your comfort while minimising reliance on heavy narcotic medications.
Seamless Post-Op Follow-up
Clear discharge instructions, dietary advice, wound care guidance, and scheduled outpatient reviews to monitor healing and discuss pathology results.

Is laparoscopic surgery safe?+
Yes. Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is extremely safe and is now the standard of care for the vast majority of general surgical procedures. At KG Speciality Centre, over 95% of elective procedures are performed laparoscopically. Complication rates are consistently lower than for open surgery, and patients experience significantly less pain and a faster return to normal activity.
How long will I stay in hospital after gallbladder removal?+
Most patients having laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) go home the same day or the following morning. You will be able to eat and drink normally within a few hours of surgery. Most people return to desk work within 5–7 days and to all normal activities within 2 weeks.
Do I need surgery for a hernia?+
Not always immediately. Asymptomatic inguinal hernias in men may be observed. However, hernias do not resolve on their own and carry a small risk of becoming strangulated (when the blood supply to the hernia contents is cut off) — which is a surgical emergency. We generally advise repair for symptomatic hernias, all femoral hernias (higher strangulation risk) and hernias causing discomfort or lifestyle limitations.
What is the recovery time for hernia surgery?+
Laparoscopic hernia repair is a day-case procedure in most cases. You can walk the same day and return to light work within 1–2 weeks. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Open repair has a slightly longer recovery — typically 2–4 weeks before returning to work.
Are haemorrhoid treatments painful?+
Rubber band ligation is performed in the outpatient clinic with minimal discomfort and no anaesthesia for Grade I–II haemorrhoids. Stapled haemorrhoidopexy (PPH) for Grade III–IV disease is performed under spinal anaesthesia and is significantly less painful than conventional haemorrhoidectomy — most patients describe discomfort rather than pain and return to normal activity within 3–5 days.
How is thyroid surgery performed and what are the risks?+
Thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) is performed through a small incision in the lower neck. At KG Speciality Centre we use intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) as standard to protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve — the main nerve to the voice box. The risk of permanent voice change is under 1% in experienced hands. Parathyroid autofluorescence technology helps us identify and preserve the tiny parathyroid glands. Most patients go home the same or following day.
What should I do if I have severe abdominal pain?+
Severe abdominal pain — especially if accompanied by fever, vomiting, inability to pass gas/stool, or a hard rigid abdomen — requires urgent medical assessment. Please proceed to KG Speciality Centre's Emergency Department immediately. Do not delay — conditions like appendicitis and bowel perforations can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
