Precision in the Abdomen: Advanced Surgical GI Unit

When digestive diseases require surgical intervention, the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at Indira Super Speciality Hospital provides the highest level of technical expertise. Led by Dr. Karan Shankar, our department is a pioneer in 'Minimal Access' (Keyhole) GI surgery in the region.

We believe that complex abdominal surgery doesn't have to mean large scars and long recoveries. By utilizing 4K Ultra-HD laparoscopic stacks and advanced energy devices, we perform intricate resections and reconstructions through tiny incisions, prioritizing tissue preservation and oncological precision.

Our Surgical Specialities

• HPB Surgery (Liver & Pancreas): Resections for liver tumors and complex surgery for chronic pancreatitis and pseudocysts.
• Upper GI Oncology: Laparoscopic management of esophageal and stomach cancers.
• Colorectal Surgery: Minimally invasive removal of colon and rectal cancers (STARR, LAR, APR).

The Technology Advantage

Our operation theaters are built for excellence:

• 4K Laparoscopy: Providing magnified, sub-millimeter visualization of critical GI structures.
• Harmonic Scalpels: Ultrasonic precision to minimize blood loss and thermal damage.
• Stapling Technology: Advanced endoscopic staplers for safe and leak-proof GI reconstructions.
