This technique blends precision, empathy, and technology to deliver faster recovery, minimal pain, and reduced hospital stays. More than just a medical advancement, it is a scalable solution reshaping healthcare across both urban and rural settings. With data-driven outcomes and patient-centric results, laparoscopic surgery is not only transforming operations but also redefining how India heals proving that smaller incisions can lead to bigger impacts.

In a quiet operating room in Mumbai, a surgeon stands poised with instruments no bigger than a pen. There are no large incisions, no excessive bleeding, just a few tiny ports in the abdomen and a team working in harmony. Within hours, the patient will be walking. Within days, they'll be home. This is not science fiction. This is laparoscopic surgery, and one of its leading torchbearers in India is Dr Pravin Shetty, a name that has become synonymous with precision, empathy, and innovation. Dr Pravin Shetty says, "When I started out, we were still using single-chip cameras. Now, we have 3D imaging. The way we see and heal the human body has changed forever".

A Journey Rooted in Mumbai & Inspired by the World

For over 20 years, Dr Pravin Shetty has quietly been reshaping India's surgical landscape not just in the polished operating theatres of high-end hospitals, but also in modest community settings, where his true mission lies, making world-class surgery accessible to all.
