Dr. Amit Khandelwal

Dr. Amit Khandelwal is the senior surgical face of Unity Multi Speciality Hospital, bringing 25 years of hands-on experience in general and laparoscopic surgery. Over this long career, he has treated thousands of patients for everything from routine gallstone removal to complicated hernia repairs, earning a reputation as a surgeon patients trust for both his skill and his straightforward, reassuring manner. His practice is built around one core principle: surgery should always be the safest, least invasive option available for the patient's specific condition. This is why laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques form the backbone of his approach wherever clinically possible — smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster route back to normal life. He personally counsels every patient before a procedure, walking them through what to expect, what recovery looks like, and why a particular technique has been recommended. Core Areas of Expertise: Dr. Khandelwal regularly performs laparoscopic gallbladder removal for patients suffering from gallstones — one of the most common surgical referrals at the hospital. He also manages hernia and varicocele repairs using mesh-based and minimally invasive methods designed to reduce recurrence, along with emergency appendicitis surgery where prompt, precise intervention prevents complications like rupture or infection. Beyond these focus areas, he handles the hospital's full range of general and laparoscopic surgical cases, always favouring the technique that gets a patient home to their family sooner. Conditions Commonly Treated: Gallstones, inguinal & umbilical hernia, hydrocele, varicocele, acute appendicitis, and other general surgical conditions requiring operative care. When to Consult Dr. Khandelwal: Persistent abdominal pain after meals, a visible swelling or bulge in the abdomen or groin, sudden severe lower-right abdominal pain, or if you've been advised surgery elsewhere and want a laparoscopic second opinion. Why Patients Choose Him: With a quarter-century behind him, Dr. Khandelwal has seen nearly every surgical scenario a general surgery unit can present. That experience shows up in small but important ways — knowing which cases can safely go the laparoscopic route, recognising complications early, and setting realistic expectations for recovery rather than rushed promises. Many of his patients are referred by families he has already treated, a track record built over 25 years of consistent, careful surgical care.
