Specialised care for obesity, hernia and gastrointestinal conditions through laparoscopic, metabolic and robotic surgical expertise.
DOSS India, short for Doctors Offering Surgical Solutions, is a specialised surgical care centre in Pune focused on obesity and metabolic conditions, hernias and disorders of the digestive system. The centre brings diagnosis, surgical planning, minimally invasive treatment and follow-up care into one coordinated pathway so that patients receive guidance at every important stage of treatment.
At DOSS India, the decision to operate is never based on a symptom or report alone. Every patient is assessed as an individual. The team considers the diagnosis, severity of the condition, previous treatment, general health, personal concerns and available alternatives before recommending the next step. Patients receive a clear explanation of their condition, why a particular option may be suitable, what recovery may involve and which risks or limitations should be considered.
The purpose of DOSS India is not simply to perform an operation. It is to help patients understand their health problem, make an informed decision and move through treatment with appropriate preparation and follow-up.
DOSS India provides focused care in two major areas: bariatric and metabolic surgery for people affected by obesity, and hernia surgery for different types of abdominal wall and hiatus hernias. The centre also provides laparoscopic and robotic treatment for selected gastrointestinal and gallbladder conditions.
For someone living with obesity, the hardest part is often not losing weight temporarily but achieving an improvement that can be maintained without compromising nutrition or overall health. Obesity can also occur alongside type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, fatty liver disease, joint pain, menstrual or fertility concerns and reduced physical mobility.
Consulting a bariatric surgeon in Pune at DOSS India begins with a detailed review of weight history, previous treatment attempts, eating patterns, medical conditions, medicines, investigations and expectations. The purpose of this evaluation is to understand the complete health picture and determine whether surgery should form part of a broader obesity treatment plan.
Bariatric surgery is not automatically recommended because a person has gained weight or crossed a particular BMI. Suitability depends on several factors, including BMI, obesity-related conditions, response to previous treatment, anaesthesia fitness, nutritional health and ability to participate in long-term follow-up. When surgery is appropriate, the surgeon explains how the proposed procedure works, its recognised benefits and risks, expected dietary changes and the need for lifelong monitoring.
Depending on the patient’s clinical needs, treatment options at DOSS India may include:
The procedure is only one part of the treatment. Preparation before surgery, diet progression after surgery, prescribed vitamins, physical activity and regular medical review all contribute to long-term care. This coordinated approach helps patients enter treatment with realistic expectations and a clearer understanding of the commitment involved.
A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weakened area of muscle or the surrounding supporting layer. It may appear in the groin, around the navel, through a previous surgical scar or at another weak point in the abdominal wall. A hiatus hernia develops internally, where part of the stomach moves through the diaphragm, and may be associated with reflux-related symptoms rather than an external bulge.
A consultation with a hernia surgeon in Pune at DOSS India helps determine the exact type of hernia, its size, symptoms and risk of complications. Many hernias can be identified through examination. Ultrasound or CT imaging may be advised when the swelling is not obvious, the anatomy is complex or the hernia has returned after previous repair.
DOSS India evaluates and treats:
Not every hernia requires immediate surgery, but a hernia does not close permanently with medicines or an abdominal support belt. Observation may be appropriate for some people with minimal symptoms after a surgeon has assessed the risks. Surgery may be recommended when the hernia causes pain, increases in size, restricts activity or presents a concern for obstruction or other complications.
DOSS India is built around bariatric, hernia and minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery. This focused practice allows the team to evaluate routine as well as complex surgical problems within a defined area of expertise.
Dr. Satish Pattanshetti and Dr. Neeraj Rayate bring complementary training in bariatric, laparoscopic, gastrointestinal and robotic surgery. Cases can be discussed collaboratively when the diagnosis or surgical planning would benefit from combined experience.
The availability of open, laparoscopic or robotic surgery does not mean that every patient needs the newest or most complex technique. The approach is selected after considering clinical suitability, expected benefit, limitations, available evidence and cost.
Bariatric treatment may involve dietary assessment, anaesthesia evaluation, clinical coordination and psychological or counselling support according to the patient’s needs. This helps prepare patients for the physical and lifestyle changes associated with treatment.
Patients are encouraged to ask questions and understand the proposed procedure before deciding. Preparation, discharge advice and follow-up are planned according to the operation and individual recovery.
DOSS is founded by Dr. Satish Pattanshetti and Dr. Neeraj Rayate – leading minimally invasive, obesity and metabolic surgeons of India, who have combined experience of 25 years with average 1000 patients operated per year.
DOSS is a team of top-notch surgeons and multi disciplinary clinicians complementing one another to ensure the best clinical outcomes to each one of our patients and to raise treatment excellence for Obesity and Morbid Obesity.
