The Department of Surgery provides comprehensive care in the areas of:
The surgical consultant works with a team of junior
doctors and nurses to provide patient-focused care.
Other healthcare personnel are involved as necessary.
Anaesthetists also work closely with the surgical teams.
The Department has developed various clinical pathways
to facilitate efficient functioning and coordination
between care stations. In addition, consultations from
various specialities in other clinical disciplines:
Radiology and Laboratory are often sought and are readily
available.
Within each section, there are further sub-specialisation,
for example, microvascular surgery minimally invasive
procedures for which sophisticated technological support
is available. While managing complex surgical problems
with the help of intensive monitoring and organ support,
the Department at the same time has made a major thrust
towards developing day care surgery, which is highly
cost-effective and convenient for patients. The Department
has 124 inpatient, six ICU, 15 special care and 12 day
surgery beds. Services include state-of-the-art equipment
in the eight main operating rooms along with local, general
and epidural anaesthesia services. For the convenience
of patients, pre-anaesthesia evaluation, laboratory tests,
financial and admission services are available to all
elective patients at one station. Package prices are
available for common surgical procedures. The Department
is providing outreach ambulatory services at the Aga
Khan Health Services Karimabad Day Care Centre and has
future plans to expand the services to other areas of
Karachi as soon as the required facilities are developed.
