The training behind the trust
From Advanced Care Center to Your Bedside
General and Advanced Laparoscopic GI HPB Surgery — with 10+ years spent making high-complexity surgery mean a low-disruption recovery.
Background & expertise
Dr. Sawarkar didn't choose surgery because it was prestigious. He chose it because he watched his mentors in advanced surgical care centres turn impossible cases into healing stories.
After earning his Master of Surgery (MS) and completing fellowship training in minimal access and Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary surgery, he learned something crucial:
The scalpel is only as good as the heart guiding it.
Today he specialises in the liver, pancreas, bile ducts and digestive tract — unforgiving structures that demand both technical skill and deep anatomical understanding.
But here's what matters more: he has spent 10+ years refining his approach so that high-complexity surgery doesn't mean high-disruption recovery.

What experience brings
Why experience matters in surgery
Surgical research links a surgeon's experience with a procedure to better results. Here is what that experience means for patients in practice.
- Every anatomy is different
- No two patients are built exactly alike. Experience helps a surgeon recognise variations and adapt during the operation.
- Careful planning
- Scans and reports are reviewed in detail beforehand, so difficulties can be anticipated and the approach planned around you.
- Efficient, unhurried surgery
- Familiarity with a procedure usually means less time under anaesthesia — without rushing any step.
- Previous operations
- If you have had abdominal surgery before, scar tissue and altered anatomy are planned for rather than discovered on the day.
How I work
Philosophy of care
Honesty first
If surgery can be avoided safely, Dr. Sawarkar will recommend conservative treatment. He doesn't operate unnecessarily. But if delaying surgery puts you at risk, he'll tell you that plainly too.
Minimal disruption
Complex surgery doesn't have to mean a complex recovery. Minimally invasive techniques help patients get back to normal life faster.
Patient partnership
You are not a case number. Every decision takes your concerns, lifestyle and recovery goals into account — and family members are welcome in the conversation.
Continuous learning
Medicine evolves. Dr. Sawarkar takes part in national conferences and CME programmes to stay current with surgical techniques and evidence.
