Dr. Rashmi Pyasi — Director in Delhi NCR

Dr. Rashmi Pyasi is Director of GI, Minimal Access & Bariatric Surgery at Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Delhi NCR, with more than 28 years of experience in bariatric and metabolic surgery.

Her procedure list is broader than the title suggests and unusually specific about technique. Her laparoscopic cholecystectomy entry includes single-incision, scar-less technique. Minimally invasive bariatric surgery is described as comprehensive weight loss surgical care, and covers sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and robotic bariatric surgery. Hernia repair is listed laparoscopically, including incisional hernia. Her record describes pioneering work in coloproctology, with colorectal resection and the surgical management of benign colorectal tumors. Breast lump evaluation and fibroadenoma management are listed as a specialization in breast disorders.

That combination is worth noting. Weight loss surgery, colorectal work and breast disease rarely sit in the same practice, and for a woman travelling for treatment it means a single surgeon can assess a breast lump and a weight problem without a referral in between.

She read MBBS at Gandhi Medical College in Bhopal in July 1991 and took MS in general surgery at the same college. She holds FIAGES from the Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo Surgeons, FAIS from the Association of Surgeons of India, and FALS in advanced laparoscopic surgery covering hernia and colorectal work. She trained in laparoscopic surgery at the Ethicon Institute of Surgical Education in Mumbai in 2008, and also holds a certificate course in marine medicine. She practises at Fortis Hospital in Gurgaon.
