GI & Laparoscopic Surgeon near Vasant Kunj, South Delhi | Hernia, Gallbladder, Piles & More

Vasant Kunj is a large, green residential area in South West Delhi, with its sectors (A to D), pockets and housing societies spread between Nelson Mandela Marg and the Mehrauli–Mahipalpur Road. Many families here are used to travelling a little for specialist care, and they want to know exactly where to go and how long it will take before they leave home.

THE CLINICS does not have a branch in Vasant Kunj. Our surgical centre, THE CLINICS MISC, is at H2, Hauz Khas, opposite Neeli Masjid, and our outpatient clinic is at G-32, Green Park Main Market Road. Dr Saurabh Bansal, GI & Laparoscopic Surgeon (DMC Reg. No. 37887), consults at both. Patients from Vasant Kunj can send reports on WhatsApp first, so the first visit is used well.

Travel from Vasant Kunj to THE CLINICS

By metro:

• Vasant Kunj has no station on an operating metro line. The usual choices are Chhatarpur (Yellow Line), which runs north to Hauz Khas in four stops, or Vasant Vihar (Magenta Line), which runs east to Hauz Khas via Munirka, R. K. Puram and IIT.

• Most patients from Vasant Kunj find a cab simpler than the metro, especially after a procedure.

By road:

• By road, Nelson Mandela Marg towards JNU and then the Outer Ring Road east past Munirka and the IIT flyover brings you to Aurobindo Marg and Hauz Khas. Another route is the Mehrauli–Mahipalpur Road to Mehrauli and then Aurobindo Marg north. Expect about 9–11 km and 20–35 minutes.

• Plan your visit outside the evening peak if you can; mid-morning slots at Hauz Khas are usually the easiest drive.

Landmarks on the Vasant Kunj side include Ambience Mall and DLF Promenade (Nelson Mandela Marg), the Vasant Kunj sectors, and JNU nearby. Travel times are rough ranges, not promises; check Google Maps for live traffic. Full directions are on our how to reach THE CLINICS page and the page for patients from nearby areas. Branch details: Hauz Khas and Green Park.

When to see a gastrointestinal surgeon from Vasant Kunj

Stomach and bowel problems are often treated with tablets for months before anyone looks at the cause. A GI surgeon looks at the whole picture: your symptoms, an examination and the right tests, such as an ultrasound, an endoscopy, a colonoscopy or a CT scan.

Common GI conditions treated at THE CLINICS for patients from Vasant Kunj include:

• Gallbladder stones and gallbladder infection (gallbladder stone surgery)

• Hiatus hernia and GERD (hiatus hernia surgery)

• Hernias of the abdominal wall (hernia surgery)

• Colon and rectal conditions, including polyps and colorectal cancer surgery (colorectal cancer surgery)

• Piles, fissure, fistula and pilonidal sinus (laser surgery)

Dr Saurabh Bansal (MBBS, DNB General Surgery, FNB Minimal Access Surgery) has previously worked as a consultant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and completed a colorectal surgery fellowship in Taiwan. He explains each option in plain language, including the option of waiting and watching when that is safe. Read more on our GI surgery page.

Because the trip from Vasant Kunj takes some planning, we try to combine steps: if tests such as an ultrasound, blood tests or an endoscopy are needed, the team tries to fit them around the same visit, and pre-operative checks can often be done on one day.

Laser surgery for piles, fissure and fistula near Vasant Kunj

People from Vasant Kunj often ask us, "Can my problem be done by laser?" The honest answer is that it depends on what the examination shows. Laser is a tool, and the surgeon picks it when it suits your condition.

How laser treatment usually goes at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas:

• Before: examination (and sometimes a proctoscopy, MRI or colonoscopy), blood tests and a check by the anaesthetist.

• Procedure: done in the operation theatre, usually under spinal anaesthesia, often in less than an hour.

• After: many patients go home the same day or the next morning, with stool softeners, sitz baths and pain medicines.

• Return to work: desk work is often possible within a few days; heavier work may need longer.

Laser can be used for piles, chronic fissure, anal fistula and pilonidal sinus. Dr Saurabh Bansal and Dr Aayush Nagpal (coloproctologist, DMC Reg. No. 103369) treat these conditions at Hauz Khas. See our laser surgery page.

Colorectal surgeon near Vasant Kunj: colon, rectum and anus

Colorectal surgery deals with the colon (large intestine), rectum and anus. It covers common problems such as piles, fissure and fistula, and more serious conditions such as polyps, diverticular disease, rectal prolapse and colorectal cancer.

Dr Saurabh Bansal completed an international clinical fellowship in colorectal surgery at China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan, and is a member of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS). At THE CLINICS he offers:

• Colonoscopy to find the cause of bleeding, a change in bowel habit or anaemia

• Laser and conventional treatment for piles, fissure and fistula

• Laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery for suitable patients, including surgery for colorectal cancer, planned with the cancer team (colorectal cancer surgery)

• Surgery for rectal prolapse and other conditions of the lower bowel

Bleeding from the back passage is not always piles. After age 45, or if there is weight loss, anaemia or a change in bowel habit, a colonoscopy is often advised first. See our colorectal surgery page.

Acidity treatment for patients from Vasant Kunj

In many homes in Vasant Kunj, acidity is treated with an antacid from the kitchen shelf. That is fine once in a while. But acidity that keeps coming back for months is called gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and it deserves a proper look.

Step-by-step acidity treatment at THE CLINICS:

• Lifestyle first: meal timing, portion size, weight, sleep position and trigger foods.

• Medicines: PPIs and other tablets for a set period, then a review, rather than taking them endlessly.

• Tests when needed: upper GI endoscopy to check the food pipe and stomach, and pH or manometry tests before any surgery.

• Surgery for selected patients: laparoscopic fundoplication with hiatus hernia repair when symptoms continue despite medicines, or when there is a large hiatus hernia.

Gallbladder stones and stomach ulcers can feel like acidity too, which is why an examination and the right tests matter. Read more on GERD and acid reflux surgery and hiatus hernia surgery.

Piles treatment near Vasant Kunj

Piles (haemorrhoids, often called bawaseer) are swollen blood vessels in the anal canal. They can cause bright red bleeding, itching, a lump that comes out while passing stool, and discomfort while sitting. Constipation, straining, long hours of sitting, pregnancy and a low-fibre diet make them worse.

Treatment depends on the grade:

• Early piles (grade 1–2): more fibre, 2–3 litres of water a day, stool softeners, sitz baths and medicines. Many people improve without any procedure.

• Piles that keep bleeding or prolapsing (grade 2–3): laser haemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) or other day-care procedures.

• Large piles (grade 3–4): stapler or conventional haemorrhoidectomy may be better; the doctor explains why.

Bleeding is not always from piles. A fissure, polyp or, rarely, a cancer can also bleed, so an examination is important, and a colonoscopy may be advised after age 45. See our piles surgery page and piles surgeon page.

Laparoscopy (keyhole) surgery near Vasant Kunj

A laparoscopic surgeon treats problems inside the abdomen through small cuts with the help of a camera. Dr Saurabh Bansal trained in minimal access surgery (FNB) under Padma Shri Dr C. Palanivelu at GEM Hospital, Coimbatore, and has 18 years of surgical experience in keyhole GI, hernia and gallbladder surgery.

What to expect if you come from Vasant Kunj:

• First visit: history, examination and a look at your ultrasound, CT or endoscopy reports. If tests are missing, they are planned.

• Before surgery: blood tests, ECG and a check by the anaesthetist, often on one day.

• Surgery day: admission at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas, which has a modular operation theatre and a high dependency unit.

• After surgery: walking the same day, a light diet, and discharge usually within one to two days for common keyhole operations.

Common operations include gallbladder removal (gallbladder surgery), hernia repair (hernia surgery) and reflux surgery (hiatus hernia). Keyhole surgery is not suitable for every patient, and the reasons are explained before any decision. Read more on our laparoscopic surgery page.

Hiatus hernia surgery for patients from Vasant Kunj

Signs of a hiatus hernia: heartburn, regurgitation, belching, chest or upper stomach discomfort after meals, a hoarse voice or cough at night. Some people have no symptoms and find out on an endoscopy.

Treatment ladder: smaller dinners, not lying down within three hours of eating, raising the head of the bed, weight loss if needed, and medicines. Surgery is kept for patients whose reflux continues, or whose hernia is large or causing problems.

Kidney stone surgery near Vasant Kunj

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.

Vasant Kunj patients with a hernia: when to get it repaired

Have you noticed a swelling in the groin or near the belly button that grows when you cough, strain or lift something, and flattens when you lie down? That is often a hernia. Many people from Vasant Kunj put off a check-up for months, but a hernia tends to grow slowly, and an early, planned repair is usually simpler than surgery after the bowel gets stuck.

At THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas, Dr Saurabh Bansal examines the swelling, orders an ultrasound if needed and explains whether keyhole mesh repair or open repair suits you. Most patients go home the next day. Indicative packages: groin (inguinal) hernia ₹75,000 to ₹1.5 lakh by laparoscopy or ₹75,000 to ₹1 lakh open; navel (umbilical) hernia ₹1.25 lakh to ₹2 lakh by laparoscopy or ₹75,000 to ₹1 lakh open; scar (incisional) hernia ₹1.5 lakh to ₹2.5 lakh by laparoscopy or ₹1 lakh to ₹1.5 lakh open. Room category, mesh type, approach and your condition decide the final figure. Read about hernia treatment and groin hernia surgery.

Follow-up dressing and review visits after surgery are short, which matters when you are travelling from Vasant Kunj.

Gallbladder stone surgery for Vasant Kunj

Gallbladder stones often show up on a routine ultrasound. They cause trouble when they block the gallbladder outlet: a pain under the right ribs or in the upper stomach, often after a heavy or oily meal, sometimes with vomiting or pain going to the back. Stones can also slip into the bile duct and cause jaundice or pancreatitis, which is why stones that give symptoms are usually removed.

The standard treatment is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, removal of the gallbladder through small cuts. Dr Saurabh Bansal performs it at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas, and most people stay one night. Life without a gallbladder is normal; bile flows straight from the liver to the bowel. The all-inclusive package for laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is usually ₹75,000 to ₹1.1 lakh, confirmed after examination. See our gallbladder stone surgery page.

From Vasant Kunj, the Hauz Khas branch is about 9–11 km away, so pre-operative tests and follow-up visits are easy to fit into a working day.

Proctology care for Vasant Kunj 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 Vasant Kunj 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 Vasant Kunj, this is about 9–11 km away.

Treatment options: medicines and diet for early disease; laser for piles, laser fissure treatment, fistula surgery and pilonidal sinus surgery when needed.

What does a colorectal surgeon treat?

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.

Does insurance cover laparoscopic and laser surgery?
