The procedures range from hernioplasty through mastectomy, thyroidectomy to supra-major surgeries such as abdominoperineal resection and Whipple’s procedure. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendicectomy are also performed routinely.
Out-Patient Department
The department also accepts patients from the Casualty 24 x 7. If any surgical procedure is deemed necessary, it is performed on the same day. The faculty on duty are available round the clock.
Research Activities
The department encourages the faculty and postgraduates actively to partake in clinical research and publications.
Out-Reach Services

Our faculty have been involved in this program and camps (governmental and non-governmental) are conducted every fortnight in the neighboring villages. Patients who are in need of further care are treated back at our hospital.Â
