Dr. Gautham S L

Dr. Gautham S L is a Bengaluru-based General and Laparoscopic Surgeon with over 13 years of hands-on surgical experience. He consults at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road and Apollo Clinic in Electronic City — two of the city's most trusted healthcare destinations. Patients and families who walk into his clinic often say the same thing: he takes time to explain, listens carefully, and never rushes a decision.

His academic journey reflects a genuine passion for the craft. After completing his MBBS and MS in General Surgery, Dr. Gautham pursued advanced fellowships in Surgical Gastroenterology (FSGE) and Bariatric Surgery (MAMBS), along with an additional surgical fellowship (MLFSD). This layered training has shaped a surgeon who is equally at home performing a routine gallbladder removal and managing a complex hernia or a weight-loss surgery — all through minimally invasive approaches wherever possible.

Minimally invasive, or laparoscopic, surgery is at the heart of what Dr. Gautham does. Smaller incisions mean less pain after the operation, a lower risk of complications, and a faster return to normal life — outcomes that matter enormously to patients travelling from abroad for care. Whether it is a cholecystectomy, a hernia repair of any type, or a bariatric procedure for a patient living with obesity, he brings the same methodical precision to every case.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Gautham's location within the Apollo network is a real advantage. Apollo Hospitals is recognised globally for its clinical standards, and having a surgeon with advanced fellowship training in both gastroenterology and bariatric surgery under one roof simplifies what can otherwise be a complicated care journey.
