Open abdominal surgeries were the norm of the day until laparoscopy came into existence. All the surgeries that used be done by open method can also be done laparoscopically. The drawbacks of open surgeries are late recovery and less than perfect cosmetic outcome. Even then, open surgeries have their own value. Some of the surgeries are never amenable to laparoscopy. Please consult your health care professional for which type of surgery is best for you. Surgeries for chronic duodenal ulcers, liver & splenic injuries, bile duct explorations, pancreatic surgeries, repair of all types of abdominal wall hernias including inguinal, major resections of the bowel, surgeries for cancers of the organs of the abdominal cavity are routinely done by laparoscopic method. 


Scrotal problems include warts, sebaceous cysts, hydroceles and torsion of the testis, all of which are surgically correctable. Perineal infections, perianal abscesses and ischiorectal abscesses especially in diabetics are life threatening warranting immediate intervention. Perianal problems like anal fissures may sometime require lateral anal sphincterotomy where a part of the ring controlling anal continence is divided. Similar is the case with fistula in ano where the entire tract has to be delineated and laid open for complete recovery and prevent a recurrence. Always choose an experienced surgeon to handle these conditions.

Cancers of the breast and reproductive organs are quite common in females. The most common cancers include that of breast, ovaries, uterus, thyroid, oral cavity, lungs, stomach, pancreas, colon and prostate. Different stages of the disease warrant different modalities of treatment. Seeking a correct opinion is paramount to better outcomes.
