Assessment helps identify whether medical care, endoscopy, surgery or a further specialist opinion is appropriate.
Laparoscopic and selected minimally invasive procedures when clinically appropriate.
Surgical gastroenterology concerns conditions of the digestive system that may require an operation. A surgical opinion can help clarify the diagnosis, assess whether an operation would help and compare it with medical or endoscopic care. A symptom such as acidity or abdominal pain does not, by itself, establish a need for surgery.
Bring the reports that led to the referral, including scan images, endoscopy findings, biopsy or pathology reports and previous operation records where available. The consultation should establish the proposed diagnosis, the purpose of treatment and what further information is needed before a decision.
Complex liver, pancreatic, bile-duct or suspected cancer conditions may need additional specialist input. Ask which clinician and team would provide the proposed care and where it would take place. The general consultation details on this page do not confirm every advanced procedure or oncology service at the branch.

Ask whether the diagnosis is established, what benefit treatment is intended to provide and what alternatives are reasonable. A second opinion can be useful when you need help understanding the proposed operation or another treatment choice.
Review symptoms and available reports, and identify what further testing would change the treatment decision.
Compare laparoscopic and open approaches where relevant, including the possibility of changing approach during an operation.
Discuss expected benefits, important risks, recovery needs and personal priorities before deciding on treatment.
The examples below explain different areas of digestive surgery. Confirm whether a proposed procedure is available, which specialist will provide it and the treating location. Inclusion here is not confirmation that all procedures are offered by the listed clinician or at KPHB.
Gallbladder removal may be discussed for symptomatic gallstones or complications. Stones without symptoms do not automatically require an operation. Bile-duct stones may need a different or additional treatment pathway.
Read MoreHernia management depends on the hernia type, symptoms and individual circumstances. Discuss the indication for repair, open or laparoscopic options and any planned use of mesh.
Read MoreAppendicitis needs prompt clinical assessment. If an operation is recommended, the approach and timing depend on the diagnosis and condition of the patient.
Read MoreColon and rectal conditions need a diagnosis before treatment is selected. Some are managed medically or endoscopically; others require a surgical or specialist oncology opinion.
Read MoreHPB refers to the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts. These problems can require different specialist pathways. Confirm the diagnosis and the team suitable for the proposed procedure.
Read MoreSuspected or confirmed digestive-system cancer needs specialist planning. For bowel cancer, the plan may combine surgery with other treatments according to the site, stage and overall health. Ask about team review and the intended goal of treatment.
Read MoreUse the following areas to organise questions for the surgeon. The appropriate service depends on the diagnosis and proposed treatment, rather than choosing a procedure solely because it is described as laser or minimally invasive.
For stomach or oesophageal concerns, ask which diagnosis has been established and whether further medical, endoscopic or surgical assessment is needed.
For colon, rectal or anal disease, discuss the treatment goal and any procedure-specific effects on bowel function, wound care or follow-up.
For liver, pancreas or bile-duct findings, ask whether additional imaging, pathology or a specialist HPB opinion is needed before treatment is planned.
If laparoscopy is proposed, ask why it suits the operation, what limitations apply and when an open approach might be necessary.
A laser is a tool used in selected procedures. Ask what operation is proposed and how its benefits and risks compare with the alternatives.
Severe or rapidly worsening abdominal symptoms need urgent assessment rather than a routine appointment. The emergency team determines the appropriate treatment and specialist support.
Gallbladder, abdominal-wall, bowel and other digestive conditions can lead to a surgical referral. The list below describes possible reasons for assessment, not a promise that every condition requires or receives surgery at this branch. Bring the diagnosis and available reports so the team can direct you to appropriate care.
The KPHB directory lists Dr. Krishna Chaitanya, MBBS, MS, FMAS, with 15+ years of experience, as a General & GI, Laparoscopic Surgeon. His listed hours are 11:00 AM–4:00 PM. Confirm the appointment, and ask about experience relevant to the exact operation under consideration.
For digestive symptoms without a surgical diagnosis, a medical gastroenterology assessment may be appropriate. Patients may need more than one specialty over the course of care; ask who will coordinate tests, treatment and follow-up.
Arrange assessment for persistent or unexplained digestive symptoms or when surgery has been recommended. Severe or rapidly worsening abdominal pain, major bleeding, persistent vomiting or serious deterioration needs prompt medical attention; do not wait for routine consultation hours.
Review the reason for referral, symptoms, prior operations, medicines and existing reports.
Select further tests only where they help establish the diagnosis or plan the proposed treatment.
Discuss medical, endoscopic, surgical or referral options and the benefits and risks relevant to the diagnosis.
Plan discharge advice, wound care, medicines, diet, activity and contact arrangements for concerns after treatment.
Ask what approach and equipment the proposed operation requires, whether an open operation might be needed and what support is available at the treating site.
