The General and Minimal Access Surgery department at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre provides conventional, robotic as well as laparoscopic surgical treatment for a wide spectrum of conditions. Backed by the vast clinical experience of our surgeons and equipped with cutting-edge technology, this department delivers services at par with international standards.
With the development of newer technologies and with the integration of Bio-medical engineering, General Surgeons today, are able to cater to complex cases with breakthrough surgeries, better than ever before.
Furthermore, the transformation of conventional surgeries (that use relatively large surgical incisions) to laproscopic surgeries (which use the tiny incision), to single incision surgery, has been a great leap in revolutionising the way surgery is approached. Today, it’s virtually possible for most of the surgeries to be conducted laparoscopically, thus helping patients to:
- Have less post-operative pain
- Less wound infection
- And Recover faster
This advent of laparoscopic and minimal access surgery has alleviated post-operative recovery to a very different level, thereby conceptualising the trend of ‘Day-care Surgery’. The early rehabilitation of patients coupled with other benefits makes it a total win-win situation for patients.
Technology & Infrastructure
No effort has been spared in devising the best possible infrastructure for the General and Minimal Access Surgery department at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre.

Few highlights of this department:
- 12 spacious Operation Theatres equipped with the latest and the most sophisticated instruments for both conventional and advanced laparoscopic surgery

- The latest imported equipment and operating tables providing maximum patient comfort and ergonomic position to the surgeon
- The general surgery department is also supported 24/7 by a highly advanced trauma theatre within the emergency department which minimises excessive movement of the patient and helps perform surgeries within the golden hour
- Addition of the da Vinci surgical robot to our armamentarium has further revolutionised patient care.
