HPB & Robotic Surgeon
Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu (MBBS, MS, FACRSI, DrNB, PDF) is a robotic pancreatic surgeon in Bangalore performing robotic Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy), robotic distal pancreatectomy, and robotic surgery for pancreatic cancer and cysts. He operates at Dhaara Speciality Hospital and Kauvery Hospital, Bangalore. Pancreatic surgery requires HPB subspecialty training — Dr. Bojanapu holds both a DrNB in Surgical Gastroenterology and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in HPB & Minimally Invasive Surgery.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head cancer, peri-ampullary tumours, and chronic pancreatitis
Removal of the pancreatic body/tail for tumours or cysts — with or without spleen preservation
Preservation of the pancreatic head and tail when the midportion is diseased
Drainage or resection of pancreatic pseudocysts, serous, and mucinous cysts
Surgical management of chronic pancreatitis — drainage procedures
Curative resection where technically feasible — neoadjuvant discussion when indicated
Pancreatic surgery is one of the most complex abdominal operations — requires subspecialty training unavailable in most hospitals
The reconstruction phase of the Whipple (3 anastomoses in a small space) benefits most from robotic's articulating instruments and tremor elimination
Specific national qualification in gastroenterological surgery — including pancreatic disease management
Dhaara Speciality Hospital primary; Kauvery Hospital, Bangalore as second option for complex cases

Dhaara Speciality Hospital & Kauvery Hospital, Bengaluru
Yes. Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu performs robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) at Dhaara Speciality Hospital, Yelahanka, Bangalore. The robotic approach reduces blood loss and enables more precise anastomosis reconstruction compared to the open Whipple.
Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu (MBBS, MS, FACRSI, DrNB, PDF) — an HPB subspecialist at Dhaara Speciality Hospital, Yelahanka, Bangalore — is one of Bengaluru's experienced pancreatic cancer surgeons performing both robotic and open pancreatectomy.
Robotic distal pancreatectomy: 4–5 day hospital stay, return to activity in 3–4 weeks. Robotic Whipple: 6–8 day stay, full recovery 6–8 weeks — significantly less than the 10–14 days for open Whipple.
