Conditions Treated
Hernia Repair
A hernia occurs when internal tissue or bowel pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, usually appearing as a bulge in the lower abdomen or around the belly button, most noticeable when standing or lifting something heavy. It may be painless at first, but it can grow larger and more uncomfortable over time. The biggest risk is strangulation — the tissue getting trapped — which is a surgical emergency needing immediate treatment. Dr. Arif repairs hernias laparoscopically, which means less pain and a faster recovery.
Appendix Surgery
Inflammation of the appendix, or appendicitis, typically starts as pain around the belly button that gradually moves to the lower right abdomen, along with nausea, fever, and pain that worsens with pressure. It's a rapidly progressing condition — without prompt treatment, the appendix can rupture and spread a serious infection inside the abdomen. That's why these symptoms need urgent medical attention. Dr. Arif removes the appendix laparoscopically (keyhole surgery), ensuring a safe procedure and faster recovery.
Gallstone / Gallbladder Surgery
Gallstones are small, hard deposits that form in the gallbladder, often causing pain in the upper-right abdomen, bloating, or indigestion, especially after fatty meals. In some cases the pain can radiate to the back or right shoulder. Left untreated, a stone can lodge in the bile duct and lead to complications like severe inflammation, jaundice, or pancreatitis. Dr. Arif removes the gallbladder safely through small laparoscopic punctures, allowing for a faster recovery.
