I'm Dr Prashant Philip Das, a minimal access surgeon in Hebbal, Bengaluru. Advanced laparoscopic and laser techniques mean smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster return to your life — for hernias, gallbladder disease, piles, varicose veins, weight-loss surgery, and complex abdominal surgery.
Every condition below is treated with the least invasive approach that is safe and right for you — laparoscopy and laser first, open surgery only when it truly serves you better.
Inguinal, umbilical, incisional and complex ventral hernias repaired through keyhole ports — including advanced reconstruction (eTEP, TAPP, component separation) for large defects and recurrences.
Learn more →Daycare laser treatment for piles (haemorrhoids), anal fissures, fistula-in-ano and pilonidal sinus — minimal pain, no large wounds, and most patients go home the same day.
Learn more →Keyhole surgery for gallbladder stones, appendicitis, and other gastrointestinal conditions — performed with precision optics and energy devices for faster, gentler recovery.
Learn more →Comprehensive surgical care — lumps and swellings, abscesses, hydrocele, circumcision, lipomas, cysts and emergency surgical conditions, managed end-to-end.
Learn more →Experience in surgery of the liver, pancreas and biliary system — including complex gallbladder disease and bile duct conditions, in coordination with multidisciplinary teams.
Learn more →Keyhole weight-loss surgery for people living with obesity and related conditions such as diabetes — assessed carefully, and offered only where it is clinically appropriate and after non-surgical options have been discussed.
Learn more →Minimally invasive endovenous laser treatment for varicose veins — no long incisions, less bruising, and a quicker return to being on your feet than with conventional vein stripping.
Learn more →Unsure whether you really need surgery, or which approach is right? Bring your reports for an honest, unhurried opinion — sometimes the best advice is to wait.
Learn more →Minimal access (laparoscopic / keyhole) surgery achieves the same operation as open surgery — through incisions a few millimetres wide, guided by a high-definition camera.
*Recovery times vary by individual, condition and procedure. Your surgeon will discuss what to expect in your specific case.
I believe surgery should be a last resort done exceptionally well. My practice is built on honest counselling, evidence-based technique, and the conviction that patients recover best when they understand exactly what is happening to their body — before, during and after surgery.
Modern minimal access surgery happens on a screen: a high-definition laparoscope illuminates the field while fine instruments work through keyhole ports.
