FAQ

Questions patients often ask

Can't find your answer? Send us a message or call +91 95007 86859.

Is laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery safe?

Yes. Done by a trained surgeon, keyhole surgery means smaller cuts, less pain and quicker recovery. Dr. Rangarajan holds a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery and will advise whether it suits you.

Do I need a referral to consult?

No referral is needed. Book an appointment directly and bring any earlier reports or scans with you.

How long will I stay in hospital?

Many keyhole and laser procedures are day care or need only 1–2 days. Your exact stay is explained during consultation.

Is laser treatment for piles painful?

Laser treatment causes much less pain and bleeding than conventional surgery, and most patients go home the same day and return to work within a few days.

Can a diabetic foot ulcer be healed without amputation?

In many cases, yes. Early wound care, debridement, infection control and blood-sugar management can save the limb. See a surgeon as soon as a wound stops healing.

What follow-up is provided after surgery?

Every patient receives structured post-operative reviews to check healing, manage pain and guide the return to normal activity.
