The Moolchand Advantage: Why Go Under the Knife When You Can Go Through a Keyhole?
Traditional open surgery often means large incisions, significant post-operative pain, and weeks of downtime. At Sh. Moolchand Super Speciality Hospital, we believe you deserve better.
Our Centre for Minimally Invasive Surgery is led by Dr. Hari Krishan Rathee, a surgeon with advanced fellowships in Minimal Access Surgery (FMAS, FCLS) and dedicated robotic training from AIIMS, New Delhi. We are committed to bringing metro-city surgical excellence to Karnal, ensuring you recover faster and return to your life sooner.
The Keyhole Advantage:
- Smaller Incisions: Less tissue trauma and minimal scarring.
- Less Pain: Reduced need for post-operative pain medication.
- Faster Recovery: Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to work.
- Better Cosmesis: Virtually invisible scars compared to open surgery.
- Lower Risk of Infection: Minimal exposure of internal tissues.

WHAT WE TREAT MOST
Our Specialized Minimally Invasive Services
Hospital
- 4.5/5 Star Rating
Advanced Gallstone Disease Management
Gallstones are one of the most common causes of abdominal pain. We offer the gold standard treatment: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
- The Procedure: The gallbladder is removed through 3-4 tiny punctures in the abdomen.
- The Benefit: Most patients are discharged within 24-48 hours and can resume normal diet almost immediately.
- Complex Cases: We are also experts in managing complicated gallstone diseases, including CBD stones and acute cholecystitis, using advanced laparoscopic techniques.

Advanced Hernia Repair (Inguinal & Ventral)
We don't just repair hernias; we reconstruct the abdominal wall using the latest global protocols. We offer a full spectrum of techniques tailored to your specific needs. For Inguinal Hernias:
- TEP (Totally Extraperitoneal Repair): A technique where the mesh is placed behind the abdominal wall muscles without entering the abdominal cavity. This results in less pain and a faster return to strenuous activity.
- TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair): Ideal for complex or recurrent hernias, offering excellent visualization and secure mesh placement.
- eTEP (Extended Totally Extraperitoneal Repair): An advanced technique for complex hernias that combines the benefits of TEP with the ability to treat larger defects and multiple hernias simultaneously.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Dr. Rathee is trained on the HUGO RAS System at AIIMS, New Delhi. Robotic surgery offers enhanced 3D visualization, greater precision, and improved dexterity, especially beneficial for complex abdominal and pelvic procedures. This technology allows for surgeries that were previously impossible through keyhole incisions.

- Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair & Fundoplication: For severe acid reflux (GERD).
- Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: For colon cancer and diverticular disease (backed by FCLS training).
- Diagnostic Laparoscopy: For unexplained abdominal pain.

FAQ
Both are excellent laparoscopic techniques. TEP avoids entering the abdominal cavity, which may result in less post-operative pain. TAPP allows the surgeon to inspect the abdominal cavity, which is useful for recurrent or complex hernias. Dr. Rathee will recommend the best approach based on your specific case.
eTEP (Extended View TEP) is an advanced technique that allows the surgeon to treat complex hernias and multiple defects through a single small incision, without entering the abdominal cavity. It offers the benefits of minimal invasiveness with excellent outcomes for complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
IPOM Plus is an advanced technique for ventral hernia repair where the hernia defect is closed with sutures before placing a mesh. This “plus” step significantly reduces the chance of the hernia coming back (recurrence) and restores the natural function of the abdominal wall.
Most patients can return to desk work within 3-5 days after laparoscopic gallstone or hernia surgery. For heavy lifting or strenuous activity, we usually recommend a 2-4 week recovery period, depending on the procedure.
Robotic surgery offers enhanced 3D vision and precision, which is particularly beneficial for complex cases. However, standard laparoscopy is highly effective for most routine procedures. Dr. Rathee will advise you on the best approach for your condition.
