General Surgery
General surgery refers to the vast array of surgical interventions required mainly in the abdominal and pelvis region of the human body. The range of organs extends from the thoracic region to the colon and rectum, treating diseases like gall stones, lumps and bumps, and all types of hernias. Shalamar prides itself in providing the highest standards in general surgery using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, ensuring the highest quality of care continuing from pre-operative to the post-operative experience of the patients.
Some sub-specialties available exclusively at Shalamar include bariatric surgery, breast surgery, pancreas, liver, bile duct, gallbladder surgery, hernia surgery, gastric cancer surgery, and sarcoma/melanoma surgery. Our highly qualified surgeons are experienced internationally to provide this depth of surgical expertise.

Established in 1974, the Department of General Surgery at Shalamar Hospital offers a broad range of surgical services including minor and major operations tailored to individual needs.
The department is recognised for house job training by PMDC and FCPS Part II by CPSP as it continues to cultivate innovation and forward thinking strategies into education, training and patient care.
