General surgery is a field of medicine that focuses on the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management of surgical disorders of all kinds, particularly those involving the belly, alimentary canal, soft tissues, endocrine system, and, in many cases, the head and neck. In order to stabilise patients before moving on to the next phase of care, patients who are severely ill or gravely injured are first brought to this department. Our team of general surgeons at Manipal Hospitals is quite skilled and performs well in such urgent cases. The doctors have received specialised training in performing emergency procedures to treat abdominal trauma, severe bleeding, intestinal blockages, burns, and organ perforations. In addition to performing normal surgeries for emergencies, they also perform procedures for complications such as appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder removal, thyroid, and tumour removal.

Keyhole surgery, bandage surgery, and laproscopic surgery are further names for minimally invasive procedures. It is a contemporary surgical method in which abdominal procedures are carried out with a 0.5–1.5 cm broad incision. It has many advantages over standard open surgery, including less pain, a lower risk of infection, fewer risks of haemorrhaging and leaving behind scar tissue after the procedure, a lower need for painkillers, and a shorter hospital stay. The following laparoscopic operations are performed:
Sebaceous cysts: Small, painless, slow-growing, noncancerous bumps under the skin are called cysts. They generally appear on the face, neck, or torso and are composed of liquid or semi-liquid substances.
Pre Procedure: Before the procedure, there are no precise guidelines to be followed.
During Procedure: The following points should be considered during the treatment procedure:
This invasive procedure usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and type of cyst. A nurse always assists the treating doctor as they carry out the procedure.
A consent form will need to be signed by you. Your privacy is preserved throughout the process while you are relaxed in a private space.
The cyst's location is visible, and a bedsheet or blanket is covering the rest of the body. Betadine solution is used to clean the area.
A doctor uses an injection to deliver local anaesthetic. The cyst is extracted from the underlying tissue after the doctor makes an incision in the affected area.
A biopsy of the cyst sample is performed in the lab. If the cyst is not infected, the area is cleaned once more before being sutured. If the sebaceous cyst is infected, an incision, drainage, and dressing will be performed. Finally, a waterproof dressing is applied to the region. After a week, you must return to the OPD for suture removal and dressing changes.
Post Procedure: You could be instructed to take antibiotics and painkillers after the procedure. Until the wound has healed, the region needs to be kept dry and should not be wet. Use a sponge to bathe. If you notice any bleeding or soakage at the wound, call your doctor right away. Following the surgery, there are no dietary limitations, and you can carry on with your regular activities. Reports on the biopsy are released three days following the operation.
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC): It entails taking cell samples from tissue or fluid in an organ or a lump using a tiny, hollow needle. This is typically done to determine the sort of cells present inside a breast mass or a neck gland, such as the thyroid gland. It is an extremely effective method for finding cancer.

During Procedure: The following points need to be considered during the treatment:

The area of skin where the needle will be put will be cleaned by the doctor. In some circumstances, a local anaesthetic will also be administered to numb the area.
The lump or organ is gently probed with a tiny, hollow needle and syringe via the skin. By gently tugging on the plunger, the doctor uses the syringe to assist in sucking some of the cells into the needle.
A scanning device may occasionally be used to assist in directing the needle to the proper location when the lump is very small.
A few seconds to a few minutes are needed for the process. Your doctor will then carefully remove the needle and maybe apply pressure to help stop any bleeding.
Post Procedure: The following points need to be considered:
Wear comfortable clothing until the surgical site is fully healed.
The majority of fine-needle aspirations go off without a hitch. Although they are rare, complications can include bruising and bleeding that normally stops and resolves rapidly, as well as pain for a few days.

It may take up to a week or more to get the whole findings of testing after a small needle aspiration. Results in preliminary form could come sooner.
