The Department of General Surgery at FMRI continues to lead the way in improving patient outcomes with cutting-edge surgical care. It has played a great role in the history and the development of Fortis Memorial Research Institute since its inception. Our department’s commitment to shaping the future of surgery is clearly reflected by the number of cases dedicated to basic, clinical and outcomes research. The department specialises in performing all major surgeries related to abdomen, skin, breast, soft tissues, and hernia.
Besides this, our general surgeons also specialise in Laparoscopic surgery, which is also known as key-hole surgery or minimally invasive surgery and plays a great role in the field of gynaecology, gastroenterology and urology.
At FMRI, we are highly committed to providing the safest, compassionate and most result-oriented clinical care to enhance patient outcomes. Our surgeons are trained to treat a wide range of surgical conditions, and many have focused their training and expertise in a particular surgical specialty.
