Trusted Gastro Surgeon in Ahmedabad for Robotic, Bariatric & Laparoscopic Surgery
Born and trained in Ahmedabad, I have dedicated my career to advancing surgical care through specialised training in robotic, laparoscopic, bariatric, and gastrointestinal surgery. Today, as a Consultant Robotic, Laparoscopic, Gastrointestinal, Bariatric, and Metabolic Surgeon at Shalby Hospital, Ahmedabad, I help patients find effective surgical solutions for conditions affecting the digestive system, abdominal wall, and metabolic health.
My training journey has taken me through some of India’s most respected surgical institutions, including GEM Hospital, Coimbatore, where I completed my FNB in Minimal Access Surgery under the guidance of Dr. C. Palanivelu. Combined with advanced fellowships and the prestigious MRCS qualification from Edinburgh. This experience allows me to provide modern surgical care focused on precision, safety, and faster recovery.

Spleen Surgery in Ahmedabad: Frequently Asked Questions
How is gastrointestinal cancer diagnosed?
Through endoscopy, imaging (CT/MRI), and biopsy to confirm and stage the disease. I’d push back on patients who delay endoscopy out of fear — it’s a quick outpatient procedure, and delaying it is the real risk, not the test itself.
Is bariatric surgery safe for obesity treatment in India?
Yes, when performed by a trained metabolic surgeon with proper patient screening. My honest take: surgery isn’t a shortcut, it’s a tool that works best combined with post-op lifestyle changes, which is where most programs fall short.
Is robotic surgery better than laparoscopic surgery?
Not universally — it depends on the case. Robotic surgery offers greater precision for complex GI and cancer procedures; laparoscopy remains excellent for straightforward hernia or gallbladder cases. The “better” technique is the one matched to your specific condition.
What is the difference between GI surgery and general surgery?
GI surgeons specialise specifically in the digestive tract, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas with focused training beyond general surgery. For complex conditions, that specialisation directly affects outcome quality, not just convenience.
How long does recovery take after GI surgery?
Minimally invasive GI surgery typically means 3-7 days recovery versus weeks for open procedures. I always tell patients: recovery speed depends more on early mobility post-surgery than on the surgery itself.
Can gastrointestinal emergencies be treated with minimally invasive surgery?
Yes, in many cases, conditions like perforations or acute obstructions can now be managed laparoscopically if caught early. The window matters, though; delayed emergencies often force open surgery regardless of technique preference.
