Choosing a surgeon isn't a decision most people take lightly — you want someone experienced, easy to reach, and easy to talk to. Dr. Srihari Shapur is a general surgeon, laparoscopic surgeon, gastro surgeon, colorectal surgeon, and proctologist who has been treating patients from Arekere and the wider Bannerghatta Road belt of Bangalore for common and complex surgical conditions alike.
His practice leans heavily on minimally invasive methods, which means most procedures involve smaller cuts, less post-surgery pain, and a quicker return to normal life. Residents of Arekere, Hulimavu, JP Nagar, and Gottigere often reach out for issues ranging from piles and hernia to gallstones and digestive complaints, without needing to travel across the city for quality surgical care.

Dr. Srihari Shapur offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical procedures to address a wide spectrum of conditions. Every treatment plan is personalised based on the patient's specific diagnosis, medical history, and lifestyle needs.
Instead of one large incision, laparoscopic surgery works through a few small cuts and a camera that guides the surgeon in real time. The result for most patients is noticeably less pain after surgery, a lower chance of wound infection, and a faster path back to everyday activity. Dr. Shapur uses laparoscopic techniques for gallbladder removal, hernia repair, appendix removal, and a range of other abdominal procedures.
Piles remain one of the most frequent reasons patients book a consultation. Laser treatment for piles offers a less invasive alternative to conventional surgery, typically involving less bleeding and a noticeably easier recovery. In most cases, the procedure is completed as day-care surgery, letting patients head home on the same day. It's a good fit for anyone hoping to avoid the longer downtime that comes with a traditional hemorrhoidectomy.
A hernia shows up when tissue pushes through a weak point in the abdominal wall, often visible as a bulge that may grow with strain or coughing. If left unaddressed, hernias tend to get larger over time and can occasionally become a medical emergency. Dr. Shapur repairs inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias, choosing between laparoscopic and open techniques based on size, location, and the patient's overall health profile.
Gallstones often announce themselves through pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, particularly after a heavy or oily meal, sometimes with nausea or bloating. When these symptoms recur, removing the gallbladder is usually the recommended course of action. Dr. Shapur performs laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone removal, a procedure that generally allows patients to get back to regular activity within one to two weeks.
Appendicitis tends to start as a dull ache near the navel that shifts and sharpens in the lower right abdomen, often paired with fever and a loss of appetite. Because a burst appendix can quickly turn serious, this condition is treated as a surgical emergency. Dr. Shapur performs laparoscopic appendectomy for most cases, which is now the preferred approach given its quicker healing time and smaller incisions compared to open surgery.
Colorectal surgery covers the colon, rectum, and anal region, addressing issues such as fissures, fistulas, polyps, and rectal prolapse. Ongoing bleeding, a change in bowel habits, or persistent discomfort in this area shouldn't be brushed aside. Dr. Shapur pairs thorough diagnosis with the right level of intervention — from simpler in-clinic procedures to more involved colorectal surgery, depending on what each situation calls for.
Gastro surgery deals with a wide range of conditions affecting the stomach and intestinal tract, including cases of acid reflux, ulcers, and other digestive disorders that haven't responded well to medication. Dr. Shapur's approach starts by ruling out non-surgical treatment routes first, recommending an operation only when it's clearly the more effective path for that particular patient.
Endoscopy uses a thin, flexible camera to give a direct look inside the digestive tract, helping identify the cause behind symptoms like ongoing acidity, unexplained weight loss, trouble swallowing, or blood in stool. As an endoscopy specialist, Dr. Shapur uses this procedure to both diagnose gastrointestinal conditions accurately and plan the right course of treatment, often avoiding surgery that isn't actually needed.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that most often appear in the legs, causing heaviness, aching, or visible swelling that can worsen through the day. While usually not dangerous, they can affect comfort and, in some cases, lead to complications if left untreated for too long. Dr. Shapur evaluates varicose veins and recommends a treatment approach suited to how advanced the condition is and how much it's affecting the patient's daily routine.
Minimally invasive techniques have reshaped how common surgical problems are managed today. In place of large open incisions, laparoscopic and laser-based methods rely on small entry points, which brings several real advantages: Noticeably less pain after the procedure; Smaller, less visible scarring; Shorter hospital stays — often same-day or next-day discharge; Reduced risk of surgical site infection; A quicker return to work, family, and daily routines. For patients coming from Arekere, JP Nagar, and Bannerghatta Road, this translates into surgical care that fits around a busy schedule instead of demanding weeks of recovery.
Dr. Shapur provides consultation and surgical care to patients from Arekere and the surrounding parts of Bangalore. Every consultation includes a detailed discussion of symptoms, a clear explanation of possible causes, and an honest conversation about whether surgery is truly necessary. Patients are walked through exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure to ensure nothing feels unexpected.
Modern surgery is only as good as the tools and techniques behind it. Dr. Srihari Shapur practices at facilities equipped with state-of-the-art surgical infrastructure because every patient deserves precision, safety, and the best chance at a complication-free recovery.
Full HD and 4K laparoscopic camera systems provide crystal-clear intraoperative visualization - allowing Dr. Shapur to identify and protect delicate anatomical structures with greater accuracy.
Specialized diode and Nd:YAG laser systems are used for hemorrhoidoplasty, fistula ablation, varicose vein closure, and fissure treatment - offering unparalleled precision with minimal thermal collateral damage.
A revolutionary approach to fistula treatment using an endoscope to visualize the fistula tract internally, destroy the epithelium, and close it from within - without cutting the sphincter.
A catheter-guided laser fiber is inserted into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance and progressively closes it - a procedure that takes under an hour with zero surgical incisions.
Ultrasonic energy devices reduce bleeding, minimize lateral thermal spread, and speed up surgical time - translating into less blood loss and faster procedures for patients.
Dr. Srihari Shapur is a well-established laparoscopic surgeon serving patients from Arekere and neighboring areas such as Bannerghatta Road and JP Nagar. He focuses on minimally invasive procedures for hernia, gallbladder stones, appendicitis, and other abdominal conditions, with an emphasis on smaller incisions and quicker recovery. What makes a surgeon "the best" often comes down to experience, communication, and comfort during consultation, so patients are encouraged to discuss their case directly before deciding.
Consult a gastro surgeon if you have ongoing abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, trouble swallowing, persistent acid reflux, blood in your stool, or digestive discomfort that doesn't improve with medication. As a general guide, symptoms lasting beyond two to three weeks, or ones that keep recurring, are worth having properly evaluated. Getting checked early usually helps identify the cause sooner and often keeps treatment options simpler.
Yes, laser piles treatment is available for patients living in and around Arekere. This approach to treating hemorrhoids typically involves less cutting, reduced bleeding, and a faster recovery compared to conventional surgery. Many patients are able to return home the same day and get back to their routine within a short span. It's a practical option for those wanting to avoid the longer recovery period linked to traditional piles surgery.
Hernia surgery works by repositioning the tissue that has pushed through the abdominal wall and reinforcing the weakened area, often with a synthetic mesh to lower the chance of it recurring. Depending on the hernia's size, location, and the patient's health, the procedure can be done as open surgery or laparoscopically. The laparoscopic route generally means smaller cuts and a quicker recovery, while open surgery may suit larger or more complicated hernias.
Gallbladder stones often cause pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, especially after eating fatty or oily food, along with bloating, nausea, and sometimes vomiting. Some patients also notice discomfort spreading to the back or right shoulder. Not every gallstone causes symptoms, but when episodes become frequent or severe, surgical removal of the gallbladder is typically advised to avoid further complications.
Appendix surgery becomes necessary once a patient is diagnosed with appendicitis, usually recognized by sudden and worsening pain in the lower right abdomen, along with fever and reduced appetite. Since a ruptured appendix can lead to a serious infection, appendicitis is always treated as a surgical emergency. Laparoscopic appendectomy is the method most commonly used today, thanks to its faster healing and smaller scars.
Endoscopy is typically recommended for investigating persistent acid reflux, unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, ongoing abdominal pain, or blood in the stool. It gives a direct view inside the digestive tract, helping identify ulcers, inflammation, polyps, or other abnormalities that may not show up clearly through other tests. Endoscopy can also guide treatment decisions, helping determine whether surgery is genuinely needed.
Treatment for varicose veins depends on how advanced the condition is, ranging from lifestyle adjustments and compression stockings to more targeted, minimally invasive procedures for more noticeable cases. The goal is to relieve symptoms such as aching, heaviness, or swelling in the legs, and to prevent the condition from progressing further. A proper evaluation helps determine which treatment route best fits an individual patient's situation.
Symptoms like abdominal pain, unusual bleeding, or a new lump rarely resolve themselves, and delaying a check-up often means a more complicated treatment later on. Catching a condition early usually keeps treatment simpler and less invasive.
