Dr. Girish Hatalkar

Dr. Girish Hatalkar is Senior Consultant in General Surgery and Proctology with Healing Hands Clinic in Navi Mumbai, with more than 30 years of experience. His current Healing Hands profile lists MBBS from the University of Mumbai in 1984 and MS in General Surgery in 1988, and reports more than 1,000 proctology surgeries.

His practice includes laser and minimally invasive treatment for piles, fissure and fistula, together with hernia surgery, pilonidal disease and selected varicose-vein procedures. Healing Hands lists Laser Haemorrhoidoplasty, stapler haemorrhoidopexy, FiLaC and other fistula techniques among the procedures associated with his current work.

The most appropriate treatment depends on disease grade, fistula anatomy, prior operations, bowel habits and examination findings. Conservative treatment may be sufficient for some early conditions, while recurrent fistula, advanced haemorrhoids or symptomatic hernia can require surgery. Imaging, endoscopy or venous assessment may be requested when the diagnosis or anatomy needs further clarification.

For patients seeking a second opinion, useful records include previous operative notes, colonoscopy or imaging, pathology where relevant and a complete medication list. His current Healing Hands profile identifies Navi Mumbai, including Seawoods and Vashi, as principal practice locations. Final recommendations should follow direct surgical assessment rather than relying only on a procedure list or previous diagnosis. Longstanding symptoms should be reassessed rather than assuming an earlier diagnosis still explains the current problem.
