Surgeries and Procedures Performed

Dr. Rahul Kumar performs a broad range of surgical procedures at Jigyasa Hospital, prioritising minimally invasive approaches wherever clinically appropriate. Laparoscopic appendectomy allows removal of the inflamed appendix through tiny incisions, with most patients discharged within 24 hours. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy provides rapid relief for gallstone patients, with quick dietary and activity recovery. Hernia repairs use biocompatible mesh reinforcement via laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques, delivering low recurrence and short downtime.

Colorectal procedures include resections, hemicolectomies, and low anterior resections for polyps, cancers, and obstructions using advanced laparoscopic stapling for precise surgical margins. Piles are managed through stapled hemorrhoidopexy or laser hemorrhoidoplasty — outpatient-friendly with reduced bleeding. Fissures and fistulas are addressed through sphincterotomy and seton placement, protecting continence while ensuring complete healing. GI cancer surgeries including Whipple procedures, liver resections, and oesophagectomies are all coordinated with oncology teams. All procedures include structured pre-operative counselling, antibiotic prophylaxis, and personalised post-operative recovery plans with dietary and physiotherapy guidance.

GI Conditions Treated at Jigyasa Hospital

Dr. Kumar diagnoses and manages the full spectrum of gastrointestinal conditions, beginning with thorough investigations — ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, or specialist endoscopy — before developing a tailored treatment plan. Gallstones causing right upper abdominal pain, nausea, and jaundice are treated laparoscopically to prevent cholecystitis or pancreatitis. Hernias at risk of strangulation are repaired surgically to prevent emergency complications. Acute appendicitis is managed with rapid laparoscopic appendectomy to prevent rupture.

Haemorrhoids causing rectal bleeding and prolapse are treated through a graded approach from banding to surgical intervention. Anal fissures from chronic constipation are reliably resolved through sphincterotomy, while complex fistula-in-ano is closed through multi-stage repair. Gastric and colorectal cancers are detected through screening and treated with early-stage resections as part of a multidisciplinary oncology plan. Pancreatitis, liver abscesses, and biliary strictures round out the full scope of conditions managed at Jigyasa Hospital. Alongside surgical treatment, Dr. Kumar provides dietary and lifestyle guidance — high-fibre diets, adequate hydration, and reduced intake of spicy foods — to lower recurrence risk for patients across Uttar Pradesh.
