Dr Senadhipan is one among those few. He has successfully performed more than 2000 complex gastrointestinal cancer surgeries laparoscopically placing him amongst the most experienced in the world.
Dr Senadhipan is a leading expert in Keyhole Bariatric Surgery to cure morbid obesity and thereby type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and other morbidities that coexist in an obese patient. He has performed more than 500 Bariatric Surgeries, one of the largest series in Kerala and India.

This is a very high number of patients in comparison to any keyhole surgeon in India.
