General Surgery
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Common types include:
Inguinal hernia — occurs in the groin area
Umbilical hernia — near the belly button
Incisional hernia — at the site of a previous surgical incision
Hiatal hernia — upper part of stomach pushes through the diaphragm
Surgery is recommended when: the hernia is painful, grows in size, cannot be pushed back, or shows signs of strangulation (a medical emergency). Dr. Krishnan performs both open and laparoscopic hernia repair using mesh reinforcement for lasting results.
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique where procedures are performed through small incisions (usually 0.5–1 cm) using a camera and specialized instruments. Benefits include:
Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
Less post-operative pain and discomfort
Shorter hospital stay (often same-day discharge)
Faster recovery and return to normal activities
Lower risk of infection and complications
Dr. Krishnan is trained in advanced laparoscopic techniques and performs procedures like laparoscopic hernia repair, appendectomy, and gallbladder surgery.
Appendix surgery (appendectomy) involves the removal of the appendix, usually due to acute appendicitis — inflammation caused by blockage or infection. Symptoms include:
Sudden pain starting around the navel, then moving to the lower right abdomen
Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting
Fever and abdominal tenderness
Appendicitis is a surgical emergency. If left untreated, the appendix can rupture, leading to life-threatening complications. Dr. Krishnan performs both open and laparoscopic appendectomy with excellent outcomes.
Piles, Fissure & Fistula Treatment
Piles (hemorrhoids) are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus. They can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). Common symptoms include:
Painless bleeding during bowel movements
Itching, irritation, or swelling around the anus
Pain or discomfort (especially with external piles)
Minimally invasive procedures — rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy
Surgical treatment — stapled hemorrhoidopexy, excision surgery
Ksharasutra therapy — traditional Ayurvedic thread treatment
Dr. Krishnan customizes treatment based on the severity and patient preference, offering both modern and traditional approaches.
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard or large stools. Symptoms include:
Sharp pain during and after bowel movements
Visible tear or crack in the anal skin
Blood on toilet paper or in stool
Muscle spasms in the anal sphincter
Treatment includes:
Conservative care — high-fiber diet, stool softeners, topical ointments
Medications to relax the anal sphincter and promote healing
Surgical options — lateral internal sphincterotomy for chronic fissures
Most fissures heal with conservative treatment within 4–6 weeks. Dr. Krishnan provides personalized care to ensure quick recovery.
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin near the anus, usually resulting from an infected anal gland or abscess. Symptoms include:
Persistent discharge of pus or blood
Pain, swelling, and redness around the anus
Recurrent abscesses
Irritation and discomfort
Treatment options:
Fistulotomy — surgical opening of the fistula tract
Seton placement — gradual cutting using a surgical thread
Ksharasutra therapy — Ayurvedic thread-based treatment that cuts and heals the tract simultaneously
LIFT procedure — ligation of the fistula tract
Dr. Krishnan is experienced in both modern surgical techniques and traditional Ksharasutra, offering the best outcome based on fistula complexity.
Ksharasutra is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment for anorectal conditions like fistula and piles. It involves using a medicated thread (prepared with herbal alkaline substances) that is passed through the fistula tract. The thread:
Gradually cuts through the tract
Promotes healing from the base upwards
Prevents recurrence by ensuring complete tract closure
Avoids damage to anal sphincter muscles (no risk of incontinence)
Advantages: minimal pain, no hospitalization required, excellent long-term cure rates, and sphincter-preserving. Dr. Krishnan is trained in this specialized technique and offers it as an alternative to conventional surgery.
Other Common Procedures
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the head of the penis. It may be performed for:
Phimosis — tight foreskin that cannot be retracted
Recurrent infections (balanitis or balanoposthitis)
Paraphimosis — foreskin stuck behind the head of the penis
Religious or cultural reasons
Hygiene and reduced risk of certain infections
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia and typically takes 20–30 minutes. Recovery is quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a week. Dr. Krishnan performs circumcision safely with minimal discomfort.
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac around the testicle that causes swelling in the scrotum. While usually painless, hydroceles can become large and uncomfortable. Surgery (hydrocelectomy) is recommended when:
The hydrocele is large and causing discomfort or embarrassment
There is associated pain or heaviness
The hydrocele does not resolve on its own (common in infants)
The procedure involves draining the fluid and removing or repairing the sac. It is a day-care surgery with quick recovery. Dr. Krishnan has extensive experience in treating hydroceles in both adults and children.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually appear in the legs due to faulty valves that cause blood to pool. Symptoms include:
Swollen, bulging veins visible under the skin
Aching, heaviness, or cramping in the legs
Itching or discoloration around the veins
Skin ulcers or bleeding (in severe cases)
Treatment options:
Conservative management — compression stockings, leg elevation, exercise
Dr. Krishnan provides comprehensive varicose vein management tailored to each patient's condition.
