Dr. Abirami J.
Raghunath
Focused on hernia and abdominal wall surgery, minimally invasive GI procedures, and scarless endocrine & breast surgery — built on rigorous residency training and award-winning research.
“Precision in the operating theatre. Patience outside it.”
Three years, condensed
Trained broad. Focused sharp.
Three years of general-surgical training, rotated across seven specialties — concentrated into three areas of focused practice.
Hernia & Abdominal Wall Surgery
Her primary focus — first-author research on anaesthesia technique in inguinal hernia repair, an international award for hernia research, and conference talks on complex abdominal-wall reconstruction.
Laparoscopic & Endoscopic Surgery
FIAGES and EFIAGES certified, with three years of open and laparoscopic operating experience across general surgery, diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.
Endocrine & Breast — Minimal Access
Award-winning work on scarless, remote-access technique — transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy and transaxillary excision of fibroadenoma.
Surgery, treated as a craft
Surgery is as close to art as the medical field can get — every incision, every suture, every knot done with grace, care and precision. — Dr. Abirami J. Raghunath
A trained musician and dancer outside the operating theatre, she brings that same discipline into her practice — trained across general, vascular, paediatric, oncologic and emergency surgery, with a specific commitment to treating every patient, including those from under-resourced backgrounds, with the same precision and care.
Published, peer-reviewed, cited
Three PubMed-indexed papers within three years of residency — including original research that's changing how a common operation is done.
Open inguinal hernioplasty under local, spinal and general anaesthesia: a comparative study
A prospective study of 135 patients found local anaesthesia gave significantly lower post-operative pain, faster return to walking and eating, and shorter hospital stay — with no drop in patient satisfaction. The findings support day-care hernia repair, including for patients too high-risk for general anaesthesia.
Recognised early, for the right reasons
National and international recognition, earned within her first three years of surgical practice.
