GI, laparoscopic and general surgery
Gallstones, hernia, appendicitis, piles and fistula are some of the most common reasons people need surgery. At Altrus, most of these are done by keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery.
Dr. Mohammad Atif Khan leads the team. The theatres use 4K imaging with SPY-PHI, which gives the surgeon a clearer view during keyhole operations.
