Best General surgery Hospital in Nigeria

General surgery is a specialty dealing with pre-operative, operative and post-operative management of surgical problems of all kinds; especially those relating to the abdomen, alimentary canal, soft tissues, endocrine system and, in many cases, the head and the neck. Patients who are critically ill or gravely injured are first brought to this department so that they can be stabilized before the next step of treatment. At Primus International Super Speciality Hospital, we have a highly experienced team of general surgeons who excel in such critical situations. 

The Primus Department of General Surgery has led the field of minimally invasive surgery and all forms of minimal access surgery are performed, including Laparascopic cholecystectomy, hernia repair, colonic resection and anti-reflux surgery. Our Surgeons provide evaluation and treatment for a full range of general surgery conditions. 

• Laparoscopic Appendicectomy
• Laparoscopic Cholesystectomy
• Laparoscopic Hernioplasty – Ventral / Inguinal
• Diagnostic Laparoscopy
• Excision of Meckle's Deverticulum

Patients receive specialised assessment, latest treatments along with clinical post-operative care, medications and a regular follow-up. The advantages of this technique over traditional open surgery include a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time; less pain and bleeding after the operation; and reduced scarring.

Bariatric Surgery

The Department of Bariatric surgery at Primus International Super Speciality Hospital has a comprehensive bariatric and metabolic surgery program. We have pioneered minimal access surgical techniques like laparoscopy and endoscopy which facilitates faster recovery, have fewer complications and need less post-surgical follow-up. We carry out advanced laparoscopic, billiary/pancreatic and colorectal oncologic procedures and are among the few centres to offer scar less minimal access surgery options by using the latest technology. We perform bariatric procedures on obese patients to help them achieve significant weight loss when an instituted exercise and diet program does not provide effective results for these patients. This often helps them overcome co-morbid conditions such as hypertension, Type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea. We also perform open surgical procedures wherever indicated. We have best surgeons for Bariatric surgery in Nigeria that you may come across.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgical procedures are performed to make changes to your digestive system resulting in weight loss by limiting your diet intake or by decreasing the absorption of nutrients, or both. Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries are implemented when diet and exercise does not work or when excess weight is causing serious health problems for you.

There are several types of weight-loss surgical treatments, known collectively as bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass is one of the most common types of bariatric surgery. It is preferred by most surgeons because it mostly has fewer complications than other weight-loss surgeries.

Still, all types of weight-loss surgery, including gastric bypass, are treatments that may include serious risks and side effects. Also, you must maintain permanent healthy changes to your diet and exercise regularly to help establish long-term success of bariatric surgery.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is also known as key-hole surgery or minimally invasive surgery. It is widely used in gynaecology, gastroenterology. Our Laparoscopic Surgery Department is equipped with the latest technology and infrastructure, supported by an experienced team of surgeons.

Endoscopic Surgery

The hospital is dedicated to a transforming patient care through the endoscopic surgery, emerging from the convergence of Laparoscopic Surgery and therapeutic gastroenterology. The department has a dedicated team of surgeons who use specialized video cameras and instruments which are passed through small incisions (less than 2 cm) into the chest, abdominal or joint cavities to perform surgery. The department performs gastroscopies, colonoscopies and other gastrointestinal diagnostic tests and procedures.
