A well-designed surgical department should have sufficient space for staff and equipment. This encourages a smooth flow of people and equipment within the room. Even though the layout of each surgical unit varies according to the surgical service provided, all units share similar characteristics such as:
We meet all these requirements. Our surgical department provides caring, individualized attention to all patients who are hospitalized for various medical conditions. Our surgeons work together with the nurses, pharmacists, and therapists to provide quality care to every patient.We provide preoperative and postoperative care to patients who are under going various surgeries.

We have a sub-department for each sub-specialty, and every sub-specialty has a team of doctors. Every condition is treated by a team, not a single surgeon.

The Bariatric Department includes a team of surgeons, gastroenterologists, dietitians, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, endocrinologists, and pulmonologists. This department is also called “Metabolic & Weight Loss Department,” and it offers comprehensive services such as:
After going through non-surgical options, if surgery is still needed, we provide comprehensive surgery where every patient will be thoroughly assessed, and all info will be explained. This could be through videos, lectures, and leaflets so that the choice will be the patient’s, helped with our advice by the end of the day.
All surgeries are Minimal Access Surgeries, which we can call “Keyhole” surgeries, such as:
We care for the patient being empowered. We don’t call it “Patient-centered care” but rather “Patient empowered care”, because the patient has the power of making educated decisions as we provide lots of support for the patients and their families. We also provide endoscopy treatments without operations, and there are various options for them, such as:
We also have a very important division within the surgical procedures, which is the colorectal conditions that include:

Other common colorectal conditions:
All these can be treated now with endoscopy, with minimal access leaving no scars, no wound, and no pain! Patients can go home on the same day.
This sets us apart from everyone else. We have laser, staples, and all the technology to help us treat these conditions.
This is an advanced surgery performed with special equipment that can be done with local or general anesthesia depending on the patient’s choice.
All surgeries for early or advanced colorectal cancer are catered for in FUH through minimal access techniques, so we don’t do minimal cuts anymore. We apply Enhanced Recovery after surgery, so the average hospital stay for significant cancer operations is 2-3 days.
The International Society of Enhanced Recovery governs us, and they provide us with guidance on what to do with every patient, and the patient will be powered on how to apply this.
We can take care of all kinds of breast tumors, whether benign or malignant. We have a multidisciplinary team of professionals who look after patients with cancer, including corrective surgeries.
After we have removed a breast, we will create a new breast immediately during the surgery; so, women should be reassured that their bodies will remain intact.
We provide surgeries for gallstones or advanced gallbladder conditions, including pancreatic cancer. We can fully treat it here due to our team, including gastroenterologists. All the surgeries are minimal access, so we will not need big operations.

When a patient has a stone blocking the ducts, we can do the surgery needed for it here.
We can also provide treatment for all types of hernias. We treat this condition by surgery because there’s no other treatment for hernia.
We provide other surgeries, such as removing masses from the skin or the subcutaneous tissue. We do it in the outpatient’s; they don’t need to be admitted for this.
We work closely with the Emergency Department and Gastroenterology Department to deal with all emergencies such as bleeding. We work with the gastroenterologists as a team either to control the bleeding with endoscopy or operations, and we are here 24 hours to provide that.
All services are provided on-site, and we have all the support services like the best CT scans, MRIs, and the best radiologists. Everything is here, so no one needs to go anywhere else, and most importantly, we work as a team.
