About Dr. C. Arun Mozhi Varman
Dr. C. Arun Mozhi Varman is a Consultant Laparoscopic and Robotic Hernia Surgeon at Rela Hospital in Chennai, where he works across the departments of Surgical Gastroenterology and General Surgery. With over 15 years of surgical experience, he has performed more than 1,000 laparoscopic hernia surgeries and over 2,000 laser proctology procedures — numbers that reflect not just technical skill, but a consistent commitment to patient outcomes.
Dr. Arun's training journey is what sets him apart. He received advanced robotic surgery training under Prof. Dr. Mohamed Rela, a globally respected pioneer in HPB and robotic surgery. He also trained under Prof. Dr. Palanivelu, widely regarded as the father of Indian laparoscopy, sharpening his skills in complex minimally invasive techniques. These formative experiences shaped his surgical philosophy: precision, minimal trauma, and faster recovery for every patient. Earlier in his career, he served as a consultant at G. Kuppusamy Naidu Memorial Hospital and Valavadi Narayanasamy Cancer Centre in Coimbatore, building a strong foundation in both general and oncological surgery.
Patients often say they feel heard and at ease with Dr. Arun. He takes time to explain the diagnosis, walk through surgical options, and set realistic expectations — especially important for patients who are anxious about surgery or traveling from abroad. His focus on minimally invasive approaches means smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, and a quicker return to daily life.
For international patients exploring treatment in India, Dr. Arun's combination of world-class training, robotic and laparoscopic expertise, and a base at a reputed tertiary hospital like Rela Hospital makes him a trusted choice. Whether it's a routine hernia repair or a more complex proctological condition, patients from across the globe have found in him a surgeon who is technically skilled and genuinely caring.
