Specializations
Laparoscopic Surgery
Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures designed to help people lose weight by making changes to their digestive system. These surgeries are typically recommended for individuals with severe obesity, especially when diet, exercise, and medication have failed to achieve significant weight loss or when obesity poses serious health risks.
Gastrointestinal Surgery
Gastrointestinal (GI) surgery involves surgical procedures on the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and rectum, to treat conditions like cancers, blockages, ulcers, perforations, and inflammatory diseases.
Laparoscopic Surgeon
Laparoscopic Surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a Laparoscopic Surgeon for the abdominal and pelvic regions. It involves using a laparoscope—a slim, rod-like instrument with a camera—to view the internal area without making a large incision. Instead of a 6- to 12-inch cut typical in open surgery, this technique requires just two to four small cuts, each less than half an inch, for the camera and surgical tools

Diseases and Treatment
Laparoscopic Gallblader Surgery
Gallstones are solid deposits of bile that develop in the gallbladder, often causing pain and digestive issues if untreated.
Single Incision Laparoscopic Gallblader Surgery
Laparoscopic Groin Hernia Surgery
An indirect inguinal (Groin) hernia is the most common type, caused by weakness at the internal ring where the testicles descend.
Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Surgery
A ventral hernia occurs when weakness in the abdominal wall allows internal tissues or organs to push through, creating a noticeable bulge.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon controls robotic arms via a console.
Minimally Invasive and LASER Haemorrhoids Surgery
Haemorrhoids are clumps of blood vessels of the rectum. The haemorrhoidal veins are located in the lowest area of the rectum.
