Dr. Prashanth Krishna G

Dr. Prashanth Krishna G is a gastrointestinal surgeon in Chennai and the Medical Director of the Prashanth Group of Hospitals. He works in the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, where he treats conditions of the food pipe, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas and bile ducts that need surgery.

His areas of care include robotic surgery for many digestive conditions, and minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery for gastrointestinal cancers, which uses small cuts instead of one large opening. He also performs hepato pancreato biliary surgery, which covers operations on the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts, and repair of complex hernias, including hernias that have come back after earlier surgery.

Before surgery, he reviews the patient’s scans and test results, explains the planned operation, its benefits, risks and other options, and answers questions from the patient and family. After surgery, he follows each patient’s recovery and works with the nursing, nutrition and physiotherapy teams to support a safe and steady return to daily activities.
