Dr. Jignesh Gandhi – General and Laparoscopic Surgeon in Mumbai

Dr. Jignesh Gandhi, also identified as Dr. Jignesh Ashwinbhai Gandhi, is an experienced General and Laparoscopic Surgeon associated with Fortis Healthcare and Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital in Mumbai. His areas of expertise include gastrointestinal surgery, minimally invasive surgery, abdominal wall hernia repair and robotic surgical techniques.

Dr. Gandhi's qualifications include MBBS, MS and DNB in General Surgery, FRCS and advanced minimally invasive surgical fellowship credentials. His professional record includes advanced training in laparoscopic procedures and a gold medal in MS Surgery examinations, reported by Fortis Healthcare.

His major surgical interest is abdominal wall and hernia surgery. Fortis reports that he has performed more than 100 laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs using the Totally Extraperitoneal technique, more than 100 laparoscopic ventral hernia repairs and over 500 open inguinal and ventral hernia repairs. These procedures address selected defects in the abdominal wall that may cause swelling, pain or other complications.

Dr. Jignesh Gandhi also has experience in complex abdominal wall reconstruction, including component separation techniques for large ventral hernias. Such procedures may be considered when ordinary repair is challenging because of hernia size, previous surgical history or abdominal wall weakness. Treatment planning requires careful evaluation of the patient's anatomy and medical condition.

At Nanavati Max, Dr. Gandhi holds a senior leadership position in robotic, gastrointestinal, minimal access and general surgery. His practice includes evaluating surgical conditions and selecting appropriate open, laparoscopic or robotic approaches according to the diagnosis and individual risks. Not every patient or condition is suitable for minimally invasive surgery.

Patients seeking a General, Laparoscopic or Hernia Surgeon in Mumbai may consult Dr. Jignesh Gandhi for abdominal wall hernias, recurrent hernias and other gastrointestinal surgical concerns. A specialist assessment involves reviewing symptoms, previous operations, clinical examination and imaging before discussing suitable treatment and recovery plans.

Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair uses small abdominal incisions and specialised instruments to repair a hernia in the groin. Surgical mesh is commonly used to reinforce the weakened area. The procedure may be suitable for selected patients depending on hernia characteristics, previous surgery and overall health.

Totally Extraperitoneal Hernia Repair (TEP)

Totally Extraperitoneal repair is a laparoscopic technique that accesses the groin hernia through the space outside the abdominal cavity. It allows placement of reinforcing mesh without routinely entering the peritoneal cavity. Patient suitability depends on hernia type, previous operations and surgical assessment.

Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair

Ventral hernias occur through weakened areas of the abdominal wall. Laparoscopic repair uses a camera and surgical instruments introduced through small incisions. The procedure may involve closing the defect and reinforcing the abdominal wall with mesh, depending on hernia characteristics.

Open Inguinal Hernia Repair

Open inguinal hernia repair involves accessing the groin hernia through a surgical incision and reinforcing the weakened tissues. Mesh is commonly used in adult repairs when appropriate. Open surgery may be preferred for certain patients depending on the hernia, medical conditions and operative history.

Open Ventral Hernia Repair

Open ventral hernia repair treats defects in the abdominal wall through a conventional surgical incision. Depending on the defect, the operation may involve tissue closure, mesh placement and reconstruction of surrounding structures. Complex hernias require individualised assessment and careful surgical planning.

Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

Abdominal wall reconstruction is performed for selected large, recurrent or complex hernias that require restoration of abdominal wall structure. Techniques may include tissue mobilisation, mesh reinforcement and specialised reconstruction. Treatment aims to restore support while reducing the risk of complications and recurrence.

Component Separation Technique

Component separation is a specialised reconstructive technique used for selected large abdominal wall defects. The surgeon separates layers of the abdominal wall to allow closure with reduced tension. It may be performed through open or selected minimally invasive approaches depending on anatomy and surgical requirements.

Incisional Hernia Repair

An incisional hernia develops through a weakened area at the site of a previous abdominal operation. Surgical treatment may involve open, laparoscopic or robotic repair. The choice of technique depends on hernia size, location, previous repairs and the patient's medical risks.

Robotic Hernia Surgery

Robotic hernia repair uses surgeon-controlled instruments and enhanced visualisation to perform selected minimally invasive operations. It may be suitable for certain abdominal wall or groin hernias. The approach is chosen based on patient characteristics, hernia complexity and available surgical expertise.

General Gastrointestinal Surgery

General gastrointestinal surgery involves evaluating and treating selected conditions affecting the digestive organs. Surgical treatment may be required for structural problems, inflammation, obstruction or other diseases. The approach depends on the diagnosis and may involve open, laparoscopic or robotic techniques.
