Thursday and Saturday, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Surgical schedule arranged after pre-op consultationMinimal access surgery with a laser-trained surgical team
Dr. Abhilash N is a laparoscopic and general surgeon with over 10 years of operating experience and formal super-specialty training in minimal access surgery. He performs laparoscopic and laser procedures at Vivekananda Hospital on Thursday and Saturday evenings, with pre-operative consultation, surgery scheduling and post-operative follow-up coordinated through the hospital's general surgery team.
His training pathway is the reason for his sub-specialty depth. After completing MBBS from Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences in 2011, he pursued DNB in General Surgery from the National Board of Examinations in 2017, and then specialised further with an FNB in Minimal Access Surgery from GEM Hospital, Chennai in 2020. GEM is one of India's highest-volume laparoscopic training centres, which translates into operative repetition across the surgeries he performs today.
At Vivekananda Hospital, the laparoscopic theatre is paired with the hospital's 24/7 general surgical team, anaesthesiology cover, Level 2 post-op monitoring, and in-house pharmacy and laboratory. The result is that a patient scheduled for laparoscopic hernia repair on a Thursday evening has pre-op blood work, anaesthesia review and post-op recovery all in the same building, with a surgical consultant available around the clock if any complication arises outside Dr. Abhilash's visiting days.
His procedural mix centres on high-volume abdominal wall and proctology work, with laser-assisted approaches for piles, fissures and fistula, conventional laparoscopic repair for inguinal and hiatal hernia, and advanced interventions including bariatric surgery and laparoscopic hysterectomy coordinated with the hospital's gynaecology team. He is known for short recovery windows, minimal post-operative pain, and patient-first counselling on non-surgical options wherever clinically appropriate.
