General and Minimally Invasive Surgery Approach
General surgery covers many conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive tract, gallbladder, abdominal wall, and related structures. Treatment may range from monitoring or medication to an operation depending on the diagnosis and severity of symptoms.
Dr. Shenoy’s practice has a strong emphasis on minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopic procedures use small incisions and specialised instruments to perform selected operations involving the gallbladder, hernias, stomach, bowel, and other abdominal organs.
His experience also includes robotic surgery, which can provide surgeons with enhanced instrument control and visualisation during selected procedures. The decision between open, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery depends on the condition, previous operations, individual anatomy, and overall health.
