The specialities combine experienced clinicians, evidence-based treatment pathways, and modern medical technologies, ensuring accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and continuity of care for diverse patient needs.
Cardiac Sciences & Cardio Thoracic Surgery
Zulekha Hospitals provide comprehensive cardiac care, integrating preventive cardiology, interventional procedures, and cardiothoracic surgery under one roof. The department treats coronary artery disease, valvular heart disorders, arrhythmias, congenital heart defects, and heart failure. Advanced cardiac diagnostics such as echocardiography, stress testing, cardiac CT, and catheterization studies allow early detection and accurate treatment planning. The hospital’s cardiac catheterization labs support angiography and angioplasty procedures with high precision. Cardiothoracic surgeons perform procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair and replacement, and other complex open-heart surgeries. Minimally invasive approaches are adopted when suitable, reducing surgical trauma and recovery time.
Orthopedics & Joint Replacement Surgery
The Orthopedic department specializes in joint replacement, spine surgery, sports injuries, trauma care, and arthroscopic procedures. It is particularly known for knee and hip replacement surgeries performed using advanced prosthetic systems designed for long-term durability. Total knee and hip replacements are carried out using minimally invasive surgical techniques where feasible. These methods reduce muscle damage, blood loss, and post-operative pain, enabling faster mobilization. The department also treats degenerative spine disorders, herniated discs, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis through both conservative and surgical approaches. Arthroscopic procedures for ligament reconstruction and meniscus repair are commonly performed for sports-related injuries.
General & Laparoscopic Surgery
The General Surgery department provides a wide spectrum of procedures, including hernia repair, appendectomy, gallbladder removal, colorectal surgery, and endocrine surgeries. Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is widely practiced to minimize surgical incisions and speed up recovery. Patients experience less pain, smaller scars, and shorter hospital stays compared to conventional open procedures. The hospital uses advanced imaging and endoscopic systems to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Neurosurgery
The Neurosurgery department manages brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, degenerative spine disorders, and vascular malformations. Advanced neuroimaging technologies assist surgeons in precise diagnosis and surgical planning. Minimally invasive spine surgeries are commonly performed to treat disc prolapse and spinal stenosis. Post-operative care is delivered in well-equipped intensive care units with continuous neurological monitoring. Rehabilitation services focus on restoring motor and cognitive functions.
Obstetrics & Gynecological Surgery
Zulekha Hospitals offer comprehensive women’s health services, including high-risk pregnancy management, cesarean sections, laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries, and fertility-related procedures. Minimally invasive techniques are used for hysterectomy, fibroid removal (myomectomy), and ovarian cyst surgery. The hospital also provides prenatal diagnostics and neonatal care support.

Procedures Performed
Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy is recommended for conditions such as uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, uterine prolapse, or certain gynecological cancers. Zulekha Hospitals perform abdominal, vaginal, and laparoscopic hysterectomies, with minimally invasive approaches preferred whenever clinically appropriate. Laparoscopic surgery involves smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery compared to open procedures. Patients undergo thorough pre-operative evaluation including imaging and laboratory tests. Hospital stay is typically 2–4 days for minimally invasive surgery. Recovery time varies, but most patients resume light daily activities within 2–3 weeks. International patients receive individualized discharge planning and post-operative follow-up before travel clearance.
Spine Decompression Surgery
Zulekha Hospitals offer both conventional and minimally invasive spine procedures such as discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion. Advanced imaging techniques, including MRI and CT scans, guide accurate surgical planning. Minimally invasive techniques reduce muscle disruption, blood loss, and hospital stay. Patients typically remain hospitalized for 2–5 days depending on the complexity of the surgery. Post-operative rehabilitation and physiotherapy are essential components of recovery. International patients are generally advised to stay 10–14 days for follow-up and mobility assessment before travelling home.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the gallbladder in patients suffering from gallstones, recurrent biliary pain, or gallbladder inflammation. The surgery is performed using 3–4 small incisions and a high-definition camera system, allowing precise removal of the gallbladder while minimizing tissue damage. Compared to open surgery, this approach offers smaller scars, less postoperative pain, and quicker recovery. The procedure usually takes about one hour under general anesthesia. Most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours and resume light activities within a few days.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
Total Knee Replacement is recommended for patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or advanced joint degeneration causing chronic pain and limited mobility. The procedure involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing them with high-quality prosthetic implants designed for durability and smooth joint movement. Zulekha Hospitals utilize modern surgical techniques with precise implant alignment to improve long-term outcomes. Minimally invasive approaches are used when possible, leading to reduced pain and faster rehabilitation. Physiotherapy begins within 24 hours of surgery to restore mobility and prevent complications.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting is performed to treat advanced coronary artery disease where blocked or narrowed arteries restrict blood flow to the heart. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, or previous heart attacks. At Zulekha Hospitals, CABG is conducted in advanced modular operating theatres equipped with heart-lung bypass machines and continuous cardiac monitoring systems. Surgeons use healthy blood vessels from the leg, arm, or chest to create alternate pathways for blood flow, restoring oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Where appropriate, off-pump or minimally invasive techniques are considered to reduce surgical stress and recovery time. Each case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary heart team to ensure the most suitable approach.
