Dr. Kapil Agrawal's Areas of Expertise
1. Laparoscopic Surgeries
Dr Kapil Agrawal is one of the pioneers in advanced laparoscopic surgery in Delhi and has performed more than 7,000 minimally invasive procedures. He is associated with some of the top hospitals in New Delhi and is committed to providing his patients excellent surgical care and state-of-the-art facilities. In conventional laparoscopic surgeries, the entire surgery is conducted with the help of long, sophisticated instruments that are inserted through 3-4 tiny incisions.
2. Single Port Laparoscopic Surgeries
Single-port laparoscopic Surgery is an advanced version of laparoscopic surgeries. Single-port surgery further refines the process by conducting the surgery through a single port or hole instead of conventional four-hole laparoscopic surgery. The surgery is more technically challenging but is associated with reduced pain and best cosmesis. Early return to work and non-visible scar are the added benefits of single-port laparoscopic surgery.
Some of the most common laparoscopic surgeries performed by Dr Kapil Agrawal through the single-port technique are Appendicectomy, Cholecystectomy for gallbladder stones or gallbladder polyps, and Sleeve Gastrectomy for weight loss.
3. Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Surgeries
Robotic surgeries are an advanced version of laparoscopic surgeries where the entire surgery is done with the help of robotic arms, completely guided and under the control of a surgeon sitting on a console.
The robotic surgery has added benefits in terms of enhanced dexterity, better precision, and the ability to perform in tight spaces where human hands find it difficult to accomplish. Robotic surgeries reduce the surgeon's stress as the surgeon can perform long surgeries while sitting on a console comfortably.
4. Laser Surgeries for Anorectal Disorders
Dr Kapil Agrawal uses state-of-the-art laser technology to treat haemorrhoids or piles with minimal discomfort and quicker healing. He uses a Stapler for the treatment of Grade IV haemorrhoids and the DGHAL procedure for recurrent piles. He also treats anal fistula, anal fissure and pilonidal sinus with the help of 1470 nm laser machines with best outcomes.
Specialized Treatments Provided by Dr Kapil Agrawal
Dr. Kapil Agrawal performs following Surgeries using the latest and advanced techniques:
1. Gallbladder Surgery
Dr. Kapil Agrawal specializes in laparoscopic gallbladder stone removal surgery, offering a safe and minimally invasive alternative to open surgery. Using just 2–3 tiny incisions, he removes the gallbladder with precision, reducing pain, recovery time, and hospital stay. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours and return to desk work within 5–7 days.
Beyond standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Dr. Agrawal offers Single-Port (SILS) surgery — performed through a single hidden incision inside the belly button, leaving virtually no visible scar. For complex cases involving severe inflammation, previous abdominal surgeries, or unusual anatomy, he also performs robotic-assisted cholecystectomy at Apollo Hospitals, Delhi NCR, where 3D precision significantly reduces the risk of bile duct injury.
His expertise covers the full spectrum of gallbladder disease — routine gallstones, acute and chronic cholecystitis, gallbladder polyps, and complex bile duct stones requiring a combined endoscopy and surgical approach.
2. Hernia Surgery
Dr. Kapil Agrawal is well-versed in laparoscopic and robotic hernia repair, covering every category of abdominal wall hernia — inguinal, umbilical, incisional, epigastric, femoral, and hiatus. He performs both TAPP and TEP techniques for inguinal hernias, as well as the newer eTEP approach for select ventral and incisional cases.
For large or recurrent hernias, he performs Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR) using Transversus Abdominis Release (TAR) — one of the most advanced and durable repairs available for complex midline defects — performed laparoscopically or with robotic assistance where precision is critical. The robotic platform provides 3D magnified vision and tremor-free instrument control, allowing safer dissection in scarred tissue from previous surgeries.
3. Appendicitis Surgery
Dr. Kapil Agrawal performs laparoscopic appendectomy with high precision and consistently excellent outcomes, having completed over 2,000 successful laparoscopic appendix surgeries across his career. Appendicitis is one of the most time-sensitive surgical emergencies — a ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis and life-threatening infection — and Dr. Agrawal's experience covers the full spectrum, from straightforward acute cases to perforated appendix, appendicular lump, and interval appendicectomy.
He offers both conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (3 small incisions) and Single-Port Laparoscopic Appendectomy (SILS) — where the entire procedure is completed through a single tiny incision hidden inside the belly button, leaving virtually no visible scar. For suitable cases, robotic-assisted laparoscopic appendectomy is also available, offering enhanced precision and 3D magnified visualization in anatomically challenging situations. with high precision and excellent outcomes. Dr. Kapil Agrawal offers both conventional and single-port laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis. This is an ideal procedure associated with less scarring and reduced risk of complications.
4. Rectal Prolapse
Dr. Kapil Agrawal performs laparoscopic rectopexy to treatment rectal prolapse a condition where the rectal wall weakens and slips out through the anus, causing significant discomfort, mucous discharge, bleeding, and in advanced cases, faecal incontinence. Left untreated, prolapse invariably worsens and can lead to sphincter fatigue and permanent bowel dysfunction.
His approach covers the full spectrum of surgical options, tailored to each patient's age, fitness, and severity of prolapse. For full-thickness prolapse in fit adults, laparoscopic or robotic rectopexy is the gold-standard — the rectum is carefully mobilised through 3 tiny incisions and fixed to the sacrum with sutures or mesh, restoring normal anatomical position with recurrence rates below 2%. Where severe constipation accompanies the prolapse, he also performs rectopexy with sigmoid resection, removing the redundant bowel segment to improve transit while securing the rectum.
5. Pseudo Pancreatic cyst
Pancreatic pseudocysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop most commonly as a complication of acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or blunt abdominal trauma. Unlike true cysts, they have no epithelial lining — they form when pancreatic duct disruption causes enzyme-rich fluid to collect and become walled off by surrounding tissue. While small pseudocysts may resolve on their own, larger or symptomatic ones cause persistent upper abdominal pain, nausea, early satiety, and — if left untreated — can become infected, rupture, or compress adjacent structures including the stomach, bile duct, and portal vein.
Dr. Kapil Agrawal offers expert laparoscopic treatment for pancreatic pseudocysts, a technically demanding area of surgery that requires both advanced laparoscopic skills and a thorough understanding of pancreatic and hepatobiliary anatomy. The standard surgical approach is laparoscopic cystogastrostomy — creating a permanent internal drainage channel between the pseudocyst and the posterior wall of the stomach. This allows the fluid to drain naturally into the GI tract and the pseudocyst to collapse and resolve, without the need for repeated external drainage procedures.
6. Fundoplication for Hiatus Hernia & GERD
Dr. Kapil Agrawal offers advanced laparoscopic treatment for hiatus hernia and Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) — two closely linked conditions where part of the stomach slides upward through the diaphragm into the chest, disrupting the natural anti-reflux valve and allowing stomach acid to flow back into the food pipe. Left untreated, chronic GERD can progress to oesophagitis, peptic stricture, and Barrett's oesophagus.
His surgical approach is built on precise pre-operative assessment. Every patient undergoes upper GI endoscopy, oesophageal manometry, and pH monitoring before a fundoplication type is selected — because the choice of wrap directly determines long-term swallowing comfort and reflux control.
7. Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery
Dr. Kapil Agrawal specializes in advanced bariatric and metabolic surgery , helping patients achieve sustainable, long-term weight loss and meaningful improvement in obesity-related health conditions. Bariatric surgery is not a cosmetic procedure — it is a metabolic intervention that resets the body's hormonal and physiological weight-regulation system, producing outcomes that diet, exercise, and medication alone cannot reliably achieve in severe obesity.
His surgical repertoire covers the full spectrum of evidence-based weight loss procedures, each matched to the patient's BMI, metabolic profile, comorbidities, and surgical history:
8. Intra Gastric Balloon Treatment
The Intragastric Balloon is a non-surgical, minimally invasive weight loss treatment. There are various types of balloons, like Allurion, Medicon, Orbera, and Spatz II balloons, which have different methods of insertion and have different life spans.
Dr Kapil Agrawal at Habilite Clinics offers a customized balloon treatment for weight loss after a thorough evaluation of the patient. The procedure involves placing a soft, saline-filled balloon in your stomach for 6 to 12 months and incorporating healthy lifestyle changes.
9. Piles Surgery
Dr. Kapil Agrawal offers advanced, minimally invasive treatment for piles (haemorrhoids) across all grades — from early-stage internal haemorrhoids causing painless bleeding, to Grade IV prolapsed haemorrhoids, thrombosed external piles, and recurrent cases that have failed prior treatment. His approach is guided by a single principle: the right procedure for the right grade, matched to each patient's symptoms, anatomy, and recovery needs.
All procedures are performed as day-care or 24-hour admissions. Dr. Agrawal's team provides structured post-procedure dietary guidance and long-term lifestyle counselling to prevent recurrence — addressing the root causes of straining and constipation that allow piles to develop in the first place.
10. Fistula Surgery
11. Pilonidal Sinus
Dr. Kapil Agrawal offers specialized, minimally invasive treatment for pilonidal sinus — a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by an abnormal tract or tunnel beneath the skin in the natal cleft (the crease between the buttocks), often containing hair, fluid, and debris. Left untreated, pilonidal sinus progresses through recurring cycles of abscess formation, discharge, and infection, significantly impacting quality of life and becoming increasingly difficult to treat with each recurrence.
The key clinical challenge with pilonidal sinus is not the initial treatment — it is preventing recurrence. Conventional open surgery, while effective at removing the sinus, leaves a large open wound that heals slowly, requires weeks of dressing changes, and still carries a meaningful recurrence rate. Dr. Agrawal's laser-based approach fundamentally changes this equation.
12. Anal Fissure
Dr. Kapil Agrawal offers a complete, staged treatment pathway for anal fissures — a painful tear or split in the lining of the anal canal that causes sharp, burning pain during and after bowel movements, often accompanied by bright red bleeding and significant sphincter spasm. He is well known to offer botox injetion treatment for anal fissures . For chromic anal fissures, he provides laser treatment for anal fissures. The condition is classified as either acute (present for less than 8 weeks, resembling a fresh cut) or chronic (persisting beyond 8 weeks, with scar tissue, skin tags, and a sentinel pile at the fissure edge) — and the treatment approach differs meaningfully between the two.
The critical distinction in Dr. Agrawal's approach is accurate staging: not every fissure needs surgery, and not every chronic fissure needs sphincterotomy. His detailed pre-treatment evaluation — including assessment of sphincter tone, fissure chronicity, and any underlying inflammatory bowel disease — ensures each patient receives the right intervention at the right time, avoiding both under-treatment (prolonged suffering) and over-treatment (unnecessary sphincter damage).
13. Laser & ZSR Circumcision Surgeries for Phimosis
Dr. Kapil Agrawal performs laser and ZSR circumcision surgery in delhi for a wide range of medical indications — including phimosis (inability to retract the foreskin over the glans), paraphimosis, recurrent balanitis, balanoposthitis, Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO), tight foreskin causing pain during intercourse, and recurrent urinary tract infections. The procedure is available both at Habilite Clinics and at affiliated hospitals, chosen based on the patient's preference, age, anaesthesia requirement, and insurance facilities.
Both procedures are performed under local or general anaesthesia depending on the patient's age and preference, with the decision made collaboratively during consultation. Neither technique requires any post-operative wound dressing visits in the vast majority of cases — a significant practical advantage for working adults and parents of young children.
14. Lipoma Surgeries
Dr. Kapil Agrawal is well known for providing best lipoma treatment in delhi. He offers almost scarless lipoma removal and has completed over 3,000 lipoma procedures with consistently excellent cosmetic results. Lipomas are benign, slow-growing lumps of fatty tissue that form between the skin and the underlying muscle layer — most commonly on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and abdomen. While they are non-cancerous and usually painless, lipomas that are growing in size, causing discomfort, pressing on nerves, or creating cosmetic concerns warrant removal.
His signature approach is the micro-puncture and pinch technique — a minimally invasive method that requires no conventional surgical incision. Using highly specialized instruments, the lipoma is elevated from the surrounding tissue through a tiny puncture, then extracted in its entirety through this micro-opening. The small access point heals naturally without any stitches, leaving behind a mark that fades to near-invisibility over weeks. The entire procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, takes 20–30 minutes for most lipomas, and patients are discharged within 1 hour of completion. This technique is particularly advantageous for lipomas in cosmetically sensitive areas — the face, neck, forearms, and upper back — where a conventional excision scar would be unacceptable to the patient.
