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

Dr. Kriplani is truly one of the best general surgeons in the country. He performed a highly successful gallbladder removal surgery for my mother, whose condition was worsening due to a dangerous mass. His expertise, precision, and confidence reassured us throughout the process, and the surgery went flawlessly.
Beyond his surgical skills, what sets Dr. Kriplani apart is his exceptional post-operative care and counseling. He has been incredibly patient, understanding, and empathetic, ensuring my mother’s smooth recovery while addressing all our concerns with great clarity. He not only treats the medical condition but also understands the emotional trauma of his patients and soothes them with his reassuring presence.
His deep knowledge of his field, exceptional surgical skills, and compassionate approach make him a truly outstanding doctor. We are deeply grateful for his care, and I would highly recommend Dr. Kriplani to anyone in need of a trusted, skilled, and compassionate surgeon.
The surgery went smoothly, and the single-incision, minimally invasive approach led to a quicker recovery than anticipated. The scar is barely visible, and they were back to their usual activities in no time. I highly recommend Dr A. K. Kriplani and his team for anyone seeking expert care.
It has been two years since Dr. Kriplani performed a complex colon interposition surgery on my father, and we are beyond grateful for his expertise, professionalism, and compassionate care. From the very beginning, Dr. Kriplani thoroughly explained the procedure, ensuring we were well-informed and at ease. His skill and precision in the operating room resulted in a smooth and successful surgery, and my father has had no complications since then.
Beyond his surgical excellence, Dr. Kriplani is a truly kind and dedicated doctor who always takes the time to listen to his patients and provide the best possible guidance. The post-operative care and follow-ups were meticulous, demonstrating his commitment to his patients’ long-term well-being.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kriplani to anyone in need of gastrointestinal or colorectal surgery. He is not only an outstanding surgeon but also a compassionate human being who truly cares for his patients. Thank you, Dr. Kriplani, for giving my father a new lease on life!
