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. Core Bariatric Procedures • Robotic     gastric bypass • Robotic     sleeve gastrectomy • Robotic     revision bariatric surgery Advanced Robotic General Surgery Mr Ramar also performs a wide range of advanced robotic general surgical procedures, including: • Sigle Port     (Single incision) Robotic cholecystectomy • Single     Port (Single incision) Robotic Inguinal hernia repair • Robotic     incisional hernia repair • Robotic     abdominal wall reconstruction • Robotic     anti-reflux surgery • Robotic     umbilical and ventral hernia repair • Robotic     hernia repair using biological mesh • Robotic     emergency gallbladder removal • Robotic     appendicectomy Alongside his clinical work, Mr Ramar is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at King’s College London, where he is actively involved in training and mentoring surgical trainees. He is also a committed researcher in robotic and metabolic surgery, regularly presenting his work at leading national and international conferences. These include the Clinical Robotic Surgery Association, British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society, Society of Robotic Surgery, Oxford Bariatric Club, Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeons, and UK Robotic HPB forums. 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.
