CORE VALUES

Evidence-Based Practice: General Surgery upholds the principle of evidence-based practice, where clinical decisions and interventions are guided by the best available scientific evidence. This approach ensures that patient care is based on sound research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences.

Ethical Integrity: General Surgery adheres to high ethical standards, recognizing the importance of honesty, transparency, and integrity in all aspects of patient care. Surgeons prioritize the well-being and autonomy of their patients, maintain confidentiality, and respect individual rights and cultural diversity.

Empathy: General Surgeons demonstrate empathy by understanding and sharing the feelings and experiences of their patients. They strive to develop a compassionate connection with patients, recognizing their fears, concerns, and vulnerabilities. Empathy fosters effective communication and supports the development of a therapeutic relationship.

Caring: General Surgeons provide compassionate and holistic care to their patients, acknowledging their physical, emotional, and psychological needs. They approach each patient with kindness, respect, and dignity, ensuring their comfort and well-being throughout the surgical journey.

Professionalism: General Surgery embodies professionalism by upholding the highest standards of competence, accountability, and responsibility. Surgeons exhibit professionalism through continuous learning, maintaining professional boundaries, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, and advocating for patient safety and quality improvement.

Facilities of the General Surgery Department in a Santosh Deemed to be University may include:

1. Operating Theaters: Well-equipped operating theaters with state-of-the-art surgical instruments and technology to perform a wide range of surgical procedures. These theaters should adhere to strict infection control protocols to ensure a sterile environment.
2. Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU): A dedicated SICU equipped with advanced monitoring systems and specialized nursing staff to provide intensive care to post-operative patients. This unit should be capable of managing critically ill patients requiring close monitoring and specialized interventions.
3. Outpatient Clinics: Outpatient clinics where patients can receive pre-operative assessments, post-operative follow-up care, and consultations with surgical specialists. These clinics should provide a comfortable environment for patients and have diagnostic facilities such as imaging and laboratory services.
4. Diagnostic Imaging: Advanced imaging facilities such as X-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound to aid in the diagnosis and pre-operative planning of surgical cases.
5. Endoscopy Suite: A specialized endoscopy suite equipped with the necessary equipment for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures. This facility allows for minimally invasive procedures and may include procedures such as colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and bronchoscopy.
6. Simulation Center: A simulation center where surgeons and surgical trainees can practice and refine their surgical skills in a controlled environment. This may include virtual reality simulators, laparoscopic training modules, and surgical simulation models.
7. Research and Education Facilities: Facilities for conducting surgical research, including laboratories for experimental studies and data analysis. Educational resources such as libraries, lecture halls, and audiovisual aids should be available to support the learning and training needs of surgical students and residents.
8. Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Collaboration with other departments and specialties within the university's medical center, such as Anesthesiology, Radiology, Pathology, and Oncology, to provide comprehensive and integrated care for patients with complex surgical conditions.
9. Support Services: Adequate nursing staff, dedicated surgical teams, and administrative support to ensure smooth operations and efficient patient management within the department. This includes scheduling, patient coordination, and documentation systems.
10. Quality Improvement Initiatives: Implementation of quality improvement programs and initiatives to enhance patient outcomes, reduce complications, and improve the overall quality of surgical care. This may involve regular audits, clinical pathways, and participation in surgical quality improvement collaboratives.
