Advanced Surgical Techniques Used by Dr Samrat Jankar:
Dr. Samrat Jankar uses the latest and most advanced surgical technologies available in India. His approach is always focused on minimal access, less pain, and faster recovery for the patient.
- Robotic IBD Surgery in Pune: Dr. Samrat Jankar is one of the few surgeons in Pune offering robotic IBD surgery. Robotic surgery provides unmatched precision during complex IBD operations. The robotic system allows the surgeon to operate with better visualisation, greater control, and smaller incisions. It is especially helpful in difficult pelvic surgeries like proctectomy for Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease.
- Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery: Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and a camera to perform operations inside the abdomen. Dr. Samrat Jankar has performed over 3,000 successful laparoscopic surgeries. This approach means:
- Less pain after surgery
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to daily activities
- Minimal scarring
- LIFT Procedure for IBD Fistulas: The LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract) is a modern, sphincter-preserving technique for complex fistulas, commonly seen in Crohn’s Disease. Dr. Samrat Jankar is an expert in this procedure and uses it to treat difficult and recurring fistulas while protecting bowel function.
- Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR): Patients with IBD who have had multiple surgeries can sometimes develop complex hernias or abdominal wall defects. Dr. Samrat Jankar specialises in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR) — a complex procedure to restore the strength and integrity of the abdominal wall.
- Stoma Creation and Reversal: Some IBD surgeries require a temporary or permanent stoma. Dr. Samrat Jankar guides patients through the entire process — from stoma creation to stoma reversal, where possible. Kaizen IBD Care also has a dedicated stoma care nurse to support patients post-surgery.
Dr. Samrat Jankar's Approach to IBD Care:
Dr. Samrat Jankar believes that surgery for IBD should always be the last resort — but when needed, it should be done with the highest possible precision and care.
Step 1
Thorough Pre-Surgical Evaluation:
Before any surgery, Dr. Samrat Jankar carefully reviews the patient’s complete history, previous treatments, imaging reports, and colonoscopy results. He works closely with Dr. Vikrant Kale, the medical IBD specialist at Kaizen IBD Care, to ensure every surgical decision is well-informed and timely.
Step 2
Joint Medical and Surgical Decision-Making:
Kaizen IBD Care follows a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) model. The medical gastroenterologist and the IBD surgeon discuss every complex case together. This ensures that patients receive the most appropriate treatment — medical or surgical — based on their specific condition.
Step 3
Minimally Invasive Surgery First:
Dr. Samrat Jankar always prefers the least invasive surgical approach. Whether it is robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or a targeted procedure, his aim is to minimise trauma to the patient’s body and speed up recovery.
Step 4
Post-Surgery IBD Monitoring:
After surgery, the care does not stop. Dr. Samrat Jankar coordinates closely with the IBD medical team for long-term follow-up. Regular monitoring helps prevent disease recurrence and ensures the patient regains full quality of life.
