About Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar
MS (General Surgery), Consultant GI, HPB, Bariatric & Robotic Surgeon
Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar is one of Ahmedabad's most distinguished gastrointestinal surgeons, specializing in complex esophageal surgeries. As a da Vinci certified robotic surgeon, he brings cutting-edge technology to treat esophageal disorders with precision and minimal invasion.

What is Esophagus Surgery?
Esophagus surgery encompasses various surgical procedures performed on the esophagus (food pipe) to treat conditions ranging from benign disorders like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and achalasia to malignant conditions like esophageal cancer. The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects your throat to your stomach, and when it doesn't function properly or develops tumors, surgical intervention may be necessary.
Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar specializes in advanced surgical techniques including:
- Laparoscopic Esophageal Surgery: Minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions
- Robotic Esophageal Surgery: da Vinci robotic technology for enhanced precision
- Fundoplication: For severe GERD treatment
- Esophagectomy: Removal of part or all of the esophagus
- Heller Myotomy: Treatment for achalasia
- Anti-reflux Procedures: LINX device implantation and other GERD treatments
Esophageal Conditions Requiring Surgery
1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
When medications fail to control severe acid reflux, surgical intervention becomes necessary. Dr. Bhavsar performs advanced laparoscopic fundoplication procedures that create a barrier to prevent acid reflux while preserving normal swallowing function.
2. Achalasia
A rare disorder where the esophageal muscles fail to relax properly, making swallowing difficult. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy with fundoplication provides excellent long-term results for achalasia patients.
3. Esophageal Cancer
As part of our comprehensive GI oncosurgery program, Dr. Bhavsar performs complex esophagectomy procedures using minimally invasive techniques, often combined with chemotherapy and radiation therapy for optimal outcomes.
4. Hiatal Hernia
Large hiatal hernias causing severe symptoms often require surgical repair. Both laparoscopic and robotic approaches are available depending on the complexity of the hernia.
5. Esophageal Strictures
Severe narrowing of the esophagus that doesn't respond to dilation may require surgical intervention to restore normal swallowing function.
