My Health Hospitals lists Dr. Krishna Chaitanya, MBBS, MS, FMAS, at Kukatpally (KPHB) for general, GI and laparoscopic surgery consultations, and Dr. T. Phanindra, MBBS, MS, FMAS, at Tarnaka as a general surgeon. Contact the relevant branch to discuss your concern and confirm the appointment before travelling.
The current branch doctor cards list KPHB consultations at 11:00 AM–4:00 PM and Tarnaka consultations at 10:00 AM–5:00 PM. Ask which doctor will assess you and where any advised investigation or procedure will take place. Not every general-surgery condition needs an operation, and not every operation uses laparoscopy.
Laparoscopy, or keyhole surgery, uses small abdominal incisions, a camera and instruments for selected investigations or operations. It may be considered for procedures such as gallbladder removal, hernia repair or appendicectomy when clinically appropriate.
A camera gives the surgeon a view inside the abdomen. The exact operation, anaesthesia and number of incisions depend on the clinical plan. Ask the surgeon to explain what is proposed and whether an open approach may be needed.
Potential advantages include smaller incisions and a shorter recovery for some operations, but outcomes vary. Risks include bleeding, infection, anaesthetic complications and injury to nearby structures. Laparoscopy is not the best option for every patient, and an open operation may be appropriate or necessary.
The appropriate surgeon depends on the condition and proposed operation. A consultation helps establish the diagnosis, assess the options and identify any need for another specialty. Bring previous scans, prescriptions, discharge summaries and a current medicine list.
For KPHB, contact +91 9111674111; for Tarnaka, contact +91 9100001201. Review the KPHB doctor directory or Tarnaka doctor directory, and confirm the schedule before visiting. A medical gastroenterology consultation and a general-surgery consultation are different appointments; describe your concern when booking.

General clinical reference: NHS: laparoscopy. Doctor information follows the current branch-directory cards checked on 26 October 2026; confirm the schedule before visiting. General guidance does not confirm a particular procedure at both branches. Patient experiences are individual and do not predict outcomes.
Ask what the diagnosis is, why an operation may help and whether non-surgical alternatives are appropriate. The following are examples of procedures to discuss, not confirmation that each is offered at both branches:
The KPHB doctor card lists Dr. Krishna Chaitanya with 15+ years of experience, while the Tarnaka card lists Dr. T. Phanindra with 10+ years. These are the directory figures used here. Confirm the surgeon responsible for the proposed operation; experience alone does not guarantee an outcome.
Confirm the operating location, anaesthesia arrangements, expected stay, risks and follow-up plan for your procedure. Ask how complications or a change to open surgery would be managed, and whom to contact after discharge. Do not assume that a consultation booking confirms every procedure at that branch.
Laparoscopy may offer benefits in selected cases. The expected recovery and risks depend on the operation, diagnosis and your health; the information below should be discussed for your proposed procedure.
Smaller incisions are used, although scars and wound-care needs still vary.
Ask about expected pain, anaesthesia and the plan for pain relief after surgery.
Obtain individual advice about walking, work, driving and lifting.
Discuss bleeding, infection, injury, anaesthetic risks and any possibility of an open operation.
Discharge timing depends on the operation and recovery; ask about the planned stay and possible extra charges.
Contact the branch for a confirmed consultation: KPHB — Dr. Krishna Chaitanya, or Tarnaka — Dr. T. Phanindra. Ask about fees, preparation and any investigations needed. For procedure estimates, see our laparoscopic surgery cost guide.
Call Now to Book ConsultationLaparoscopy uses small cuts, a camera and instruments for selected abdominal operations or investigations. The surgeon explains the approach, anaesthesia and expected benefits and risks for the particular procedure.
The KPHB directory lists Dr. Krishna Chaitanya, MBBS, MS, FMAS, General & GI, Laparoscopic Surgeon: 11:00 AM–4:00 PM, 15+ years experience. The Tarnaka directory lists Dr. T. Phanindra, MBBS, MS, FMAS, General Surgeon: 10:00 AM–5:00 PM, 10+ years experience. Confirm appointments with the branch.
No. A surgical consultation can lead to monitoring, medicines, investigation or a procedure depending on the findings. Not every listed general-surgery condition is treated using laparoscopy.
No. The appropriate approach depends on the operation and individual circumstances. Ask why an approach is recommended and whether an open operation might be necessary.
There is no single duration for all laparoscopic procedures. Ask the treating surgeon about the planned operation, hospital stay, wound care, follow-up and advice for work, travel, driving and lifting.
Ask about bleeding, infection, anaesthetic complications, injury to nearby structures and other risks specific to the operation. Discuss alternatives and what would happen if the plan changes.
Bring previous scans, test reports, prescriptions, operation or discharge records and a current medicine list. Tell the team about allergies and any earlier complications.
Call KPHB on +91 9111674111 or Tarnaka on +91 9100001201. Confirm the doctor, date, time and fee before travelling, and ask where any recommended test or operation would take place.
Request an itemised written estimate for the proposed procedure. Ask about surgeon and anaesthesia fees, investigations, consumables, hospital stay, medicines, follow-up and possible additional charges. Insurance approval depends on the policy and authorisation.
Medical gastroenterology and surgery are distinct areas of care. The Tarnaka directory separately lists Dr. Sameer Kumar as a gastroenterologist; he is not described here as a general surgeon. Explain your symptoms or referral when booking so the team can confirm the appropriate appointment.
