Department of General & Laparoscopic Surgery
A hernia repair used to mean a long cut, a longer hospital stay, and weeks before you could go back to work. That’s not how it works here. Since 2019, Dr. Manoj Khurana has been doing hernia repair, weight loss surgery, and general surgical procedures through small incisions instead of open ones, using a Karl Storz 4K 3D laparoscopy system. Emergency surgery doesn’t keep OPD hours. It’s available around the clock.

Scope of Services
24x7 Emergency Surgery.
Appendicitis, a bowel obstruction, an injury that needs immediate attention, none of that waits for OPD hours, so neither does this.
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
Inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias, repaired through small incisions with a generally shorter recovery than open hernia surgery.
Bariatric (Weight Loss) Surgery.
For patients where diet and exercise haven't been enough and obesity is affecting their health, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass procedures are performed laparoscopically.
Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery.
Gallbladder removal, appendix removal, and other general surgical procedures, all done through the 4K 3D system.
Surgery Through Small Incisions, Not Big Ones
The department runs on a Karl Storz 4K 3D laparoscopic imaging system. It gives Dr. Khurana a sharper, more detailed view inside the body than older laparoscopic cameras, plus depth perception that flat 2D imaging just doesn’t have.
4K Resolution
A sharper picture of the surgical area than standard imaging. Useful for spotting small structures during hernia and bariatric procedures.
3D Visualization
Depth perception during surgery, closer to how the eye actually sees rather than a flat screen.
Smaller Incisions
Most procedures here are done laparoscopically, through small cuts, not one large incision.
Precision Instrumentation
Long, specialized instruments are guided by the magnified 4K 3D view, which allows more exact movement inside the body than instruments used with older imaging.
Reduced Blood Loss
Smaller incisions and a clearer surgical view generally mean less bleeding during the procedure compared to open surgery.
Faster Return to Normal Activity
A shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery are typical with this approach, though the exact timeline still depends on the procedure and the patient.
OVERVIEW
From a Hernia to Weight Loss Surgery,Same Department
A hernia repair and a bariatric surgery patient don’t have much in common medically. They end up in the same department here because both are handled laparoscopically. Dr. Khurana trained specifically for this: MS, then FACS in the US, then a further fellowship in bariatric surgery. That’s a large part of why the smaller-incision approach is the default here, not the exception.
Not every case is planned weeks in advance. Appendicitis doesn’t check the clinic’s hours, and this department runs emergency surgery every day, every hour, right alongside its scheduled hernia and bariatric cases.
Laparoscopic
Hernia repair, bariatric surgery, and general procedures go through small incisions wherever the case allows for it.
24x7 Emergency Coverage
Emergency general surgery runs at any hour. It isn't limited to OPD timings.
US-Trained Surgeon
Dr. Khurana holds a Fellowship of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) from the United States, on top of his MS in General Surgery.
Bariatric Surgery Available Locally
Weight loss surgery patients don't have to travel out of Kurukshetra for this.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is laparoscopic surgery, and is it right for every case?
Surgery done through a few small incisions using a camera and long instruments, instead of one large open cut. Most hernia and general surgery cases here go this route, but not always, sometimes an open approach is still the better call for a specific case.
How is a hernia repaired laparoscopically, and what's the recovery like?
Mesh is placed to reinforce the weakened area, inserted and secured through small incisions rather than one long cut. Recovery is generally faster than open hernia surgery, though how soon you’re back to normal activity depends on your job and the type of hernia
Who is a candidate for bariatric (weight loss) surgery?
Generally, patients where obesity is affecting health and diet or exercise alone hasn’t worked. It’s a decision made after evaluation, not something scheduled on a first visit.
Do you handle emergency surgical cases like appendicitis?
Yes, 24×7, for appendicitis, bowel obstructions, and similar conditions that need immediate attention. Come in directly for an emergency instead of waiting for an appointment slot.
What does 4K 3D laparoscopic technology actually change for the patient?
Mainly what the surgeon can see during the operation, a sharper, more detailed picture with depth perception. For the patient, that generally means more precise surgery, though the technology doesn’t replace the surgeon’s skill or judgment.
