About Dr. K. N. Srivastava
Dr. K. N. Srivastava has been in this field for over fifty years now. And most people coming to him either need laparoscopic work for gallstones and hernias or bariatric surgery for obesity that won’t shift with diet and gym work. He works on simple appendix removals to tough weight loss surgeries where the stomach and intestines need reshaping.
Dr. Srivastava was the first surgeon to do laparoscopic surgery at RML Hospital in Delhi way back in 1997, bringing keyhole methods when most operations still meant big cuts. He does bariatric procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy for people whose weight has gotten dangerously high. He spent thirty years at PGIMER and RML Hospital, teaching surgery students and training thousands of surgeons in laparoscopic methods.

Patient Experience & Approach
Patients say Dr. Srivastava breaks down laparoscopic and bariatric stuff without freaking them out. When someone needs weight loss surgery, he walks through choices like gastric bypass versus sleeve and what changes come after. Families like that his fifty years means complications don’t rattle him like they might younger surgeons.
Those who got laparoscopic work done mention that healing went way quicker than they thought, with scars you can barely notice. Teaching so many surgeons over decades means he’s dealt with basically every surgical mess that can happen.
