Expert care, built around you
Smaller scars, less pain and a faster return to normal life wherever possible.
Most procedures are day-care or short-stay, with quick recovery.
A clear opinion on whether you even need a procedure — no over-treatment.

Open surgery vs. key-hole vs. robot-assisted
The right approach depends on your specific case — Dr. Avinash Tank will recommend the least-invasive option that is safe and effective for you.
A traditional larger incision. Still sometimes necessary for very complex, recurrent or emergency cases where key-hole access isn't safe.
Small cuts, a camera and fine instruments — less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal life. Our default approach wherever clinically possible.
3D HD vision and wristed instruments for extra precision in complex or narrow-access surgery — available for suitable cases at Dwarika Hospital — Gastro, Bariatric & Laparoscopic Surgery Center.
When should you consult a surgeon?
Symptoms that persist, keep coming back, or interfere with your daily life or sleep.
Severe or sudden pain, high fever, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the eyes/skin, or bleeding — get medical help immediately.
An honest consultation will tell you clearly whether you need treatment — or simply reassurance. No pressure, no over-treatment.

A thorough assessment and only the tests you genuinely need — no unnecessary investigations.
