GI & Laparoscopic Surgeon near South Extension, South Delhi | Hernia, Gallbladder, Piles & More
South Extension, Part 1 and Part 2, is a mix of busy markets along the Ring Road and quiet residential lanes behind them, close to Andrews Ganj, Kotla Mubarakpur and Masjid Moth. People who live and work here are used to a fast pace, and a long-running stomach or bowel problem can easily get pushed aside until it becomes hard to ignore.
THE CLINICS does not have a branch in South Extension. Our two branches are about 5–6 km west, in New Delhi 110016: THE CLINICS MISC, H2, Hauz Khas, opposite Neeli Masjid, for surgery and admission, and THE CLINICS Green Park for OPD. Dr Saurabh Bansal, GI & Laparoscopic Surgeon (DMC Reg. No. 37887), sees patients at both.

Branch details: Hauz Khas and Green Park.
When to see a gastrointestinal surgeon from South Extension
Not every stomach problem needs a surgeon, but some signs should not be ignored. See a doctor soon if you notice blood in the stool or vomit, black stools, weight loss without trying, difficulty in swallowing, yellow eyes (jaundice), or severe pain in the abdomen. These need tests to find the cause.
For people from South Extension, the usual path at THE CLINICS is:
A consultation with Dr Saurabh Bansal at Hauz Khas or Green Park.
Tests as needed: blood tests, ultrasound, CT scan, upper GI endoscopy or colonoscopy.
A treatment plan: diet and medicines, a day-care procedure, or keyhole surgery.
GI surgery at THE CLINICS MISC covers the gallbladder, hernia, hiatus hernia, the colon and rectum, and the anal region. For conditions outside the scope of the clinic, you will be guided to the right specialist. More details are on our general and GI surgery page and Dr Saurabh Bansal's profile.
Upper and lower GI problems such as heartburn, bloating, difficulty in swallowing, change in bowel habit and blood in the stool are common reasons people from South Extension see Dr Bansal. Many need only a careful history, examination and a few tests; some need an endoscopy or colonoscopy, which he performs himself.
Laser surgery for piles, fissure and fistula near South Extension
Laser surgery in proctology means using a thin laser fibre to treat conditions of the anus and lower rectum, instead of, or along with, conventional cutting and stitching. It is done in the operation theatre under spinal or general anaesthesia.
Laser is used at THE CLINICS MISC for:
Piles: laser haemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) shrinks the piles from inside, usually without a skin cut. See piles surgery.
Chronic anal fissure: when a fissure has not healed after 6–8 weeks of proper treatment. See laser fissure treatment.
Anal fistula: laser closure of the tract for suitable fistulas; other options include fistulotomy, LIFT and seton. See laser fistula treatment.
Pilonidal sinus: laser treatment of the tract in selected cases (pilonidal sinus surgery).
Compared with open surgery, laser usually means smaller or no wounds and a quicker return to work, but some discomfort for a few days is normal, and laser does not suit every patient. Very large piles or some complex fistulas may need a different method. Read our laser surgery page.
Colorectal surgeon near South Extension: colon, rectum and anus
Many people are shy to talk about problems "down there", and patients from South Extension are no different. A colorectal consultation is private and respectful. The doctor asks about your symptoms, examines you gently, and explains what he finds before suggesting any test.
What colorectal surgery at THE CLINICS covers:
Anal conditions: piles, fissure, fistula, abscess and pilonidal sinus, with laser and other methods (laser surgery)
Bowel tests: colonoscopy for bleeding, anaemia or a change in bowel habit
Bowel surgery: laparoscopic removal of part of the colon or rectum for polyps that cannot be removed by colonoscopy, diverticular disease or cancer (colorectal cancer surgery)
Rectal prolapse and other pelvic floor problems
Dr Saurabh Bansal trained in colorectal surgery under Prof. William Chen in Taiwan. For cancer, decisions about chemotherapy or radiotherapy are made with the oncology team, and you are guided at each step. See our colorectal surgery page.
Acidity treatment for patients from South Extension
Burning in the chest, burping, bloating and a bitter taste are what most people mean by "acidity". The cause may be simple reflux, a hiatus hernia (part of the stomach slipping up into the chest), gastritis, an ulcer or even gallbladder stones. Treatment works far better once the cause is known.
When patients from South Extension come to Dr Saurabh Bansal with acidity, he usually:
Asks about meals, sleep, weight, tea and coffee, smoking and the medicines already tried
Examines the abdomen and checks for warning signs
Advises an endoscopy if symptoms are long-standing, if there are warning signs, or if surgery is being considered
Explains a plan: lifestyle changes and a set course of medicines for most, and laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery for a selected few
Warning signs that need early tests: difficulty in swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, weight loss, or new acidity after age 45. See our GERD surgery page and hiatus hernia page.
Piles treatment near South Extension
Most people from South Extension who come to us with piles have already tried creams, home remedies or advice from friends. Some have been told they "must" have surgery; others have been told it is nothing. The truth is usually in between, and a simple examination tells us which.
What to expect at a piles consultation at THE CLINICS:
A private conversation about bleeding, pain, prolapse and bowel habits
A gentle examination, sometimes with a proctoscope
A plan: diet and medicines for early piles; laser or another procedure for piles that do not settle
A clear explanation of recovery, time off work and costs before anything is booked
After laser piles treatment, many patients go home the same day or the next morning, and most return to desk work within a few days. Piles can come back if constipation continues, so diet and bowel habits matter for the long term. Read more on piles treatment and laser surgery.
Laparoscopy (keyhole) surgery near South Extension
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is done through a few small cuts, usually 5–10 mm, using a camera and fine instruments. Compared with open surgery, it usually means less pain after the operation, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal activity, although every patient heals at their own pace.
At THE CLINICS MISC, Dr Saurabh Bansal performs keyhole surgery for:
Gallbladder stones: laparoscopic cholecystectomy, often with a stay of one night. Read more on our gallbladder stone surgery page.
Hernia: inguinal (groin), umbilical, ventral and incisional hernia repair with mesh, using TAPP, TEP or eTEP methods depending on the hernia. See hernia surgery.
Hiatus hernia and GERD: laparoscopic fundoplication for selected patients (hiatus hernia surgery).
Appendix, diagnostic laparoscopy and other abdominal surgery, including weight-loss (bariatric) surgery for suitable patients.
Keyhole surgery is not right for everyone. Previous operations, some heart and lung conditions, or a very complicated problem may mean another approach is safer. Dr Bansal explains this after examining you and going through your scans. See our laparoscopic surgery page for details.
Gallbladder stone surgery for South Extension
When gallbladder stones need surgery: repeated attacks of pain, inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), a stone in the bile duct, jaundice or pancreatitis. Large stones, a thick gallbladder wall or a polyp may also tip the decision.
How it is done: laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia, through small cuts, at THE CLINICS MISC in Hauz Khas. If stones have moved into the bile duct, they may need to be cleared first with an endoscopic procedure.
Recovery: walking the same evening, home the next day in most cases, light work after about a week. A normal diet is resumed gradually.
Cost: an all-inclusive package of about ₹75,000 to ₹1.1 lakh for laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, confirmed after Dr Saurabh Bansal has examined you and seen your scan. Full details are on the gallbladder stone surgery page.
Patients from South Extension can share scans and reports on WhatsApp at +91 92173 81353 before travelling, so the first visit is used well.
Hiatus hernia and reflux surgery near South Extension
A hiatus hernia is present when the upper part of the stomach slides up through the diaphragm into the chest. The valve between the food pipe and stomach then works poorly, and acid flows back up. People feel heartburn, sour burps, food coming back into the mouth, a cough at night or chest discomfort, and many take antacids every day.
Most patients start with lifestyle changes and medicines. When symptoms continue despite them, or when the hernia is large, Dr Saurabh Bansal may advise laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair with fundoplication, which narrows the gap and rebuilds the valve. Tests come first: endoscopy, and often pH study and manometry. The all-inclusive package for hiatus hernia / GERD surgery is usually ₹1.5 lakh to ₹2 lakh, confirmed after examination. See hiatus hernia surgery and GERD surgery.
For a planned operation, families from South Extension usually find the Hauz Khas branch, about 5–6 km away, simple to reach by road or metro.
Women's health near South Extension: gynaecology surgery at THE CLINICS
Many women delay a check-up for heavy bleeding, a lump found on ultrasound or long-standing pelvic pain. THE CLINICS offers confidential gynaecology consultations with a female gynaecologist, Dr Niti Vijay (Gynaecologist & IVF consultant), at the Green Park branch, a short trip from South Extension.
After examination and an ultrasound, many problems are managed with medicines. Surgery is advised when fibroids, cysts or bleeding do not settle, or when there is concern about the uterus or ovaries. Keyhole options include fibroid surgery, ovarian cyst surgery and laparoscopic hysterectomy, all done at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas. A laparoscopic hysterectomy package is around ₹1.25 lakh to ₹2 lakh, depending on the disease, type of surgery, hospital stay and room category. Gynaecology procedures are performed by the gynaecology team at THE CLINICS. More on our gynaecology page.
Follow-up dressing and review visits after surgery are short, which matters when you are travelling from South Extension.
Urology surgery for patients from South Extension
Urology team at THE CLINICS: Dr Saurabh Girotra (Consultant Urologist & Andrologist) and Dr Bipul Agarwal (Urologist). Urology procedures are done by them, not by Dr Saurabh Bansal.
Conditions treated: kidney, ureter and bladder stones, enlarged prostate, urinary infections that keep coming back, blood in the urine, narrowing of the urine passage and conditions needing circumcision.
How surgery is done: mostly endoscopic, through the urine passage, at THE CLINICS MISC in Hauz Khas: URS, RIRS and PCNL for stones, and TURP or HoLEP for the prostate.
Urgent signs: fever with stone pain, or being unable to pass urine, need immediate care at the nearest hospital, as THE CLINICS has no emergency department.
From South Extension, the Hauz Khas branch is about 5–6 km away, so pre-operative tests and follow-up visits are easy to fit into a working day.
Enlarged prostate (BPH) treatment near South Extension
Getting up three or four times a night to pass urine is not just "age". For many men from South Extension, it is the first sign of an enlarged prostate. THE CLINICS urologists, Dr Saurabh Girotra and Dr Bipul Agarwal, assess prostate symptoms and plan treatment step by step.
The first visit usually includes an examination, a symptom questionnaire, an ultrasound of the kidneys, bladder and prostate, and a PSA blood test. Treatment often starts with tablets that relax or shrink the prostate, along with simple habits such as fewer fluids late in the evening. If symptoms continue, or there has been an episode of being unable to pass urine, endoscopic surgery is considered: TURP or HoLEP laser, with no external incision. The catheter is usually removed after 5 to 7 days. Being completely unable to pass urine is an emergency; go to the nearest hospital. More on prostate (BPH) treatment.
Evening OPD at THE CLINICS Green Park (Mon–Sat, 6–8 pm) helps people from South Extension who cannot take time off during the day.
Kidney and ureteric stones: help for patients from South Extension
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidney. While they stay put they may cause no symptoms, but a stone that moves into the ureter can cause sudden, severe pain in the side or back, often with vomiting and blood in the urine. Small stones often pass with fluids and medicines. Larger stones, or stones that block the kidney, need removal.
At THE CLINICS, kidney stone surgery is done by the urology team at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas. Options include RIRS (flexible laser surgery for kidney stones), URS (laser removal of ureteric stones) and PCNL (keyhole surgery for large stones). RIRS and URS are done through the urine passage with no external incision. Kidney stone surgery packages are usually ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh, depending on the procedure. See kidney stone surgery and ureteric stone surgery.
Bring earlier prescriptions and reports when you come from South Extension; it avoids repeating tests that were done recently.
Hernia surgery for patients from South Extension
A hernia is a bulge that appears when fat or a loop of bowel pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. In the groin it is an inguinal hernia, at the navel an umbilical hernia, and along an old operation scar an incisional hernia. A hernia does not close by itself. If the lump turns hard, very tender and cannot be pushed back, treat it as an emergency and go to the nearest hospital.
Dr Saurabh Bansal repairs most hernias by laparoscopy with mesh (TAPP, TEP or eTEP), and uses open repair when that is safer for the patient. All-inclusive package estimates:
Inguinal hernia: laparoscopic ₹75,000 to ₹1.5 lakh; open ₹75,000 to ₹1 lakh
Umbilical hernia: laparoscopic ₹1.25 lakh to ₹2 lakh; open ₹75,000 to ₹1 lakh
Incisional hernia: laparoscopic ₹1.5 lakh to ₹2.5 lakh; open ₹1 lakh to ₹1.5 lakh
The final cost depends on room category, mesh type, approach and the patient's condition, and is confirmed after examination. More on hernia surgery, inguinal hernia repair and umbilical and ventral hernia.

Proctology care for South Extension patients
Who needs a proctologist? Anyone with bleeding during stool, pain or a tear at the anus, a lump that comes out, discharge or swelling near the anus, or a painful pit near the tailbone. These are usually piles, fissure, fistula or pilonidal sinus, though bleeding should always be checked, especially after age 45. Searching "piles treatment near me" or "fissure treatment near me" is a fair start, but an examination gives the answer.
Where patients from South Extension go: THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas, where Dr Saurabh Bansal and Dr Aayush Nagpal (Consultant Coloproctologist) see proctology patients privately. If you have been searching for a proctologist near South Extension, this is about 5–6 km away.

Does insurance cover laparoscopic and laser surgery?

Conditions of the colon, rectum and anus: piles, fissure, fistula, abscess, pilonidal sinus, polyps, rectal prolapse, diverticular disease and colorectal cancer. Dr Saurabh Bansal also performs colonoscopy.
Do all gallbladder stones need surgery?
Not always. Stones that cause pain, infection, jaundice or pancreatitis usually need keyhole removal of the gallbladder. Silent stones found by chance may be watched in some patients. The surgeon advises after reviewing your scan.
Can piles be treated without surgery?
Yes, often. Early piles usually improve with more fibre, enough water, stool softeners, sitz baths and medicines. A procedure such as laser haemorrhoidoplasty is considered when bleeding or prolapse continues despite this.
When should acidity be checked by a doctor?
If you need tablets every day, if acidity wakes you at night, or if there is difficulty in swallowing, vomiting, black stools, weight loss or new symptoms after age 45. An endoscopy may be advised.

Insurance facilities available. Coverage depends on your policy. Bring your health card and policy papers, or WhatsApp them to +91 92173 81353 before your visit.
Can a hernia go away without surgery?
No. A hernia does not close on its own and usually grows slowly. Repair is planned with mesh, often by laparoscopy. A hernia that becomes hard, very painful and cannot be pushed back needs urgent care at the nearest hospital.
