1 general surgeon at Meridian Health, across 4 centres in Pune. Hernia, gallstones, appendix, piles and day-care surgery.
What general surgeons treat
General surgery covers the abdomen and its organs, plus hernias, lumps and the proctology conditions people are often reluctant to bring up — piles, fissure and fistula. Most of this work is now laparoscopic (keyhole) or laser-assisted, which means smaller cuts, less pain and, for many procedures, going home the same day. Surgery is offered when it is the treatment most likely to fix the problem — not as a first step.
Severe abdominal pain with fever or vomiting, a hernia bulge that becomes hard and painful and will not go back in, or heavy rectal bleeding needs emergency assessment immediately.

When to see a general surgeon
These are the reasons people most often book this department. None of them is a diagnosis — that is what the consultation is for.
What a consultation may include
Your doctor decides which of these, if any, actually answer the question — booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan.
- Whole-abdomen ultrasound
- CT abdomen and pelvis
- Blood count and pre-operative blood work
- ECG and fitness-for-anaesthesia checks
- Proctoscopy for anal conditions
