Our Doctors

Overview

The Department of General Surgery was established in 1953 by Professor Forrest Cary Eggleston MD, from the Cornell University, New York, USA. The department has many ‘firsts’ to its credit in this part of the country, to name a few: “pyramidal (American) system of surgical residency training, use of ventilator, intravenous use of Potassium, peritoneal dialysis, open heart surgery, Journal Club, MCh urology, thoracoplasty, vascular surgery and laparoscopic surgery.

The Northern Chapter of Association of Surgeons of India (ASI), was founded by Professor F C Eggleston.

The concept of “Tumor Board Meeting” for the comprehensive care of cancer patients was started first time here in 1953. For safe surgical care to our patients, weekly Mortality meeting was started at the same time and has been an integral part of our surgical education and training program.

At present, the Department of General Surgery is being headed by Prof. Navneet Kumar Chaudhry, a student of Dr. F C Eggleston. It has four independent units and each unit subspecializes in a surgical field beside general surgery e.g., Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Laparoscopic Surgery, Surgical Oncology and Vascular Surgery.
