Mr Sasindran Ramar

Mr Sasindran Ramar is a highly
experienced robotic surgeon with over 30 years of surgical practice, based at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in
London. He specialises in robotic upper GI, metabolic, and bariatric surgery,
and is nationally recognised for his expertise in gastric bypass, sleeve
gastrectomy, and revision bariatric procedures.

With experience of around 500 robotic surgeries, Mr Ramar is known
for his excellent safety record and consistent outcomes. He is particularly
skilled in single-port robotic surgery,
performing gallbladder and selected hernia procedures through a single incision hidden within the belly button,
resulting in minimal visible scarring,
less pain, and faster recovery.

Patient FAQ
– Robotic & Single-Port Surgery

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery where the surgeon uses
advanced robotic technology to perform precise movements through small
incisions. The surgeon remains in full control at all times, with enhanced
vision and accuracy, which can improve safety and recovery.

What is single-port (single-incision) surgery?

Single-port surgery is an advanced technique where the operation is performed
through one small incision, usually hidden within the belly button. This
avoids multiple cuts on the abdomen.

What are the benefits of single-port robotic
surgery?

• Minimal
      visible scarring (scar hidden in the belly button)
• Less
      postoperative pain
• Faster
      recovery
• Quicker
      return to normal activities

Am I suitable for single-port surgery?

Suitability depends on several factors, including your condition, previous
surgeries, and overall health. Mr Ramar will assess you carefully and recommend
the safest and most appropriate approach.

What procedures can be done using single-port
robotic surgery?

Mr Ramar commonly performs:

• Gallbladder
      removal (cholecystectomy)
• Selected
      hernia repairs

Is robotic surgery safe?

Yes, robotic surgery is widely used and considered safe when performed by
experienced surgeons. Mr Ramar has performed around 500 robotic procedures
with an excellent safety record.

How long is the recovery after robotic
surgery?

Recovery is usually quicker than traditional open surgery. Many patients return
to normal daily activities within a shorter period, although this varies
depending on the procedure and individual factors.

Will I have a visible scar?

With single-port surgery, the incision is hidden within the belly button,
meaning scarring is minimal and often barely noticeable.

Do I still need general anaesthesia?

Yes, these procedures are performed under general anaesthesia to ensure you are
comfortable and pain-free.

How do I book a consultation?

You can arrange a consultation with Mr Ramar at his private practice. During
your consultation, your condition and treatment options will be discussed in
detail.
