Dr. Deepak Kulkarni

Dr. Deepak Kulkarni is Hernia Specialist, Consultant Proctologist and GI Endoscopist at Healing Hands Clinic, Pune, with more than 20 years of experience. His current profile lists MBBS, DNB in General Surgery, FMAS, FIAGES and advanced proctology training, and reports more than 5,000 surgeries overall.

His practice combines hernia surgery, proctology, laparoscopy and gastrointestinal endoscopy. Healing Hands highlights 3D mesh repair for obstructed and recurrent hernias, as well as laser and stapler procedures for haemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas and pilonidal disease. The clinic also reports more than 1,000 proctology surgeries and identifies him as an experienced gastroscopy and colonoscopy operator.

A treatment plan is selected according to anatomy, disease severity and previous procedures. Hernia patients may need ultrasound or CT imaging, while recurrent anorectal disease can require examination, endoscopy or imaging before repeat surgery. Endoscopic findings may also change the diagnosis or treatment plan when symptoms are not explained by a straightforward anorectal condition.

His current Healing Hands profile lists practice across several Pune branches, including Dhole Patil Road, Katraj and Salunkhe Vihar. Patients seeking review should provide previous operative notes, imaging and endoscopy reports where available. Final recommendations should follow direct examination, particularly in recurrent hernia, complex fistula or symptoms that have persisted after earlier treatment. For recurrent hernia, the location and type of previous mesh should also be documented.
