BAROS at Apollo Hospitals is a globally recognised centre of excellence for minimal access bariatric and metabolic surgery. Our surgical team, led by Dr. Raj Palaniappan, performs the full spectrum of keyhole weight loss procedures — laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and single-incision — using the most advanced surgical technology available in India today.
Minimal access techniques mean smaller incisions, significantly reduced post-operative pain, faster recovery, and lower complication rates compared to open surgery. Whether you require a sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, or a complex revisional procedure, our team delivers precision, safety, and outstanding long-term outcomes.
Keyhole bariatric procedures through multiple small ports — proven, safe, and highly effective with shorter hospital stays and faster return to daily life.
Da Vinci robot-assisted bariatric procedures deliver unmatched precision, especially for complex and revisional cases, with enhanced visualisation and control.
SILS — next-generation laparoscopy through a single belly-button port — offers superior cosmetic results and is ideal for select patients seeking minimal scarring.
With thousands of successful bariatric procedures and international accreditation from leading obesity surgery bodies, BAROS stands as one of India’s foremost centres for minimal access weight loss surgery.
