Laparoscopic & Hernia Surgery
Is laparoscopic surgery safe?

Yes — laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is one of the safest and most modern surgical techniques. It uses 3-5 mm cuts, leads to less bleeding, less pain, faster recovery and a shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery. Dr. Raman Garg uses 3D HD laparoscopy and follows international protocols for the highest safety standards.

How long does recovery take after laparoscopic hernia surgery?

Most patients are discharged the same day or the next morning. You can usually return to light office work within 3–5 days, and resume normal activities including driving in 1–2 weeks. Heavy lifting should be avoided for 4 weeks. Dr. Raman Garg has completed 10,000+ successful laparoscopic surgeries with excellent recovery outcomes.

What is the cost of laparoscopic hernia surgery in Bathinda?

The cost depends on the type of hernia (inguinal, umbilical, hiatus, incisional), the mesh used and whether it is a single or bilateral repair.

Please call +91 82641-60001 for a transparent estimate.

A gastroenterologist treats all digestive system disorders including acidity, gas, bloating, GERD, peptic ulcer, IBS, constipation, piles, fissures, fistula, hernia, gall bladder stones, appendicitis, pancreatitis, fatty liver, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and stomach / colon / pancreas / liver cancers.

When should I see a gastroenterologist?

Consult a gastroenterologist if you experience persistent acidity / heartburn, gas & bloating, abdominal pain, chronic constipation or diarrhoea, blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, jaundice, or a visible bulge in the abdomen / groin. Early diagnosis prevents complications.

Do you treat liver cirrhosis and fatty liver?

Yes. Dr. Raman Garg provides comprehensive liver care including fatty liver, hepatitis B & C, alcoholic liver disease and liver cirrhosis. Early diagnosis with FibroScan, ultrasound and blood markers, combined with the right diet, medication and lifestyle plan, can prevent further liver damage.

Piles, Fissure & Cancer Care

The cost of piles treatment depends on the grade and type of procedure — medical management, banding, laser surgery or stapler hemorrhoidectomy. Dr. Raman Garg offers painless, daycare piles treatment with same-day discharge. Please contact the clinic for a personalised estimate.

Can piles be cured permanently without surgery?

Grade 1 and early Grade 2 piles can often be managed with medication, fibre-rich diet, lifestyle changes and minimal procedures like rubber band ligation. Higher grades (3 & 4) usually require laser or stapler surgery for a permanent cure.
