Leading the Way in Surgical Excellence
What is surgery?
Surgery is a branch of medicine that uses specialized techniques to diagnose, treat, or repair conditions of the body through operative procedures.
It can be used to remove disease, repair injuries, or restore normal function and appearance.
Modern surgery ranges from traditional open operations to minimally invasive and laparoscopic methods that reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time.
Surgery at FMC is more than a procedure — it’s a partnership in healing, combining advanced medical expertise with personalized care to support patients before, during, and after every operation.
We offer a comprehensive range of surgical services designed to meet the diverse needs of our patients, both adults and children.
Our highly skilled surgical team is committed to providing compassionate, individualized care for each patient, ensuring the best possible outcomes with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Common conditions treated by our Surgery Team include:
- Hernias (inguinal, umbilical, and ventral)
- Gallbladder disease and gallstones
- Appendicitis
- Thyroid and parathyroid disorders
