Dr. Atul Tambade

Dr. Atul Tambade is Consultant Proctologist and General Surgeon at Healing Hands Clinic, Dighi, Pune, with more than five years of experience. Healing Hands lists his training as MBBS from BSDTS College, Pune, MS in General Surgery from CARC Nigdi, and a Diploma in Proctology completed after focused specialist training.

His current work covers piles, fissure, fistula, pilonidal sinus, hernia and varicose-vein disease. The clinic describes him as a general surgeon with a particular focus on minimally invasive and laser-based proctology. Depending on the diagnosis, care may include medical management, laser procedures, fistula surgery, pilonidal surgery, hernia repair or venous treatment.

The correct procedure depends on disease severity, anatomy and previous treatment. Haemorrhoids and fissure may sometimes improve without surgery, while recurrent fistula, advanced piles or symptomatic hernia can require intervention. Varicose-vein treatment should be based on clinical assessment and venous Doppler findings, and repeat anorectal surgery should take prior operative details into account.

Patients requesting review should provide previous surgical records, colonoscopy or imaging where relevant, venous Doppler studies for varicose veins and a current medication list. Final treatment planning should follow direct examination rather than a fixed procedure package, particularly for recurrent fistula, previous hernia repair or symptoms that have not responded to earlier treatment.

For recurrent symptoms, the timing of earlier procedures and whether infection or abscess was present can materially change the next surgical plan.
