Our Doctors
What to Expect
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with one of our general surgeons. We take a thorough history of your symptoms, perform a clinical examination, and discuss any previous medical conditions or surgeries. We listen carefully to your concerns and answer every question – no matter how small.
2. Diagnosis
We use advanced diagnostic tools available on-site at Ibn Sina Hospital, including ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, and routine blood tests. For gastrointestinal conditions, we may recommend endoscopy or colonoscopy. Accurate diagnosis ensures we plan the right procedure for you.
3. Surgery
Your surgery is performed in our state-of-the-art operation theatres by a consultant surgeon. We use modern, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques wherever possible – meaning smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. For complex or emergency cases, we are fully equipped for open surgery as well.
4. Recovery & Follow-up
After surgery, you are monitored in our comfortable recovery wards by our nursing team. We manage your pain effectively and ensure you are ready to go home safely. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to check your healing, remove stitches or staples, and address any concerns. Our team is always available to support you through your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I book a surgical consultation at Ibn Sina Hospital?
You can book an appointment by calling our hospital reception, visiting us in person, or using our online booking system. Our staff will help you schedule a convenient time with the surgeon best suited to your condition.
Do you offer laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery?
Yes. We specialise in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder removal, hernia repair, appendix surgery, and many other abdominal procedures. Laparoscopic surgery means smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to normal activities.
How long does it take to recover from general surgery?
Recovery time depends on the type of surgery and your overall health. For minor laparoscopic procedures, many patients go home the same day or the next day and return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. For major open surgeries, recovery may take 4-6 weeks. Your surgeon will give you specific guidance based on your procedure.
Does health insurance cover surgical procedures?
We accept most major health insurance policies and offer cashless treatment for eligible patients. Most surgical procedures – including emergency and elective surgeries – are covered. Our billing team will help you with all necessary paperwork and pre-authorisation. Please bring your insurance card and valid ID at the time of admission.
What should I do if I have a surgical emergency – like severe abdominal pain, bleeding, or trauma – after hours?
Ibn Sina Hospital has a 24/7 emergency department with a surgical team on call at all times. If you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, bleeding, or any trauma, come directly to the hospital or call our emergency helpline immediately. Prompt surgical care can save lives.
