Comprehensive laparoscopic and general surgery by a trusted female surgeon in Dubai — offering advanced minimally invasive techniques, compassionate care, and faster recovery for patients across Dubai, Sharjah, and the UAE.
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions (5–10mm) and a high-definition camera to perform surgical procedures with less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring. It is the preferred approach for many abdominal conditions including hernia, gallstones, appendicitis, and more.

Focused surgical care by Dr. Vanesha Varik
Unexplained or worsening abdominal pain may indicate conditions such as gallstones, appendicitis, hernia, or other conditions requiring surgical evaluation.
A new lump in the abdomen, groin, breast, neck (thyroid), or under the skin may require evaluation and possible surgical removal.
Chronic nausea, bloating, acid reflux, or changes in bowel habits may indicate gallbladder disease, anorectal conditions, or other surgical issues.
Expert surgical treatment for a wide range of conditions using open and minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.
Laparoscopic and open repair for inguinal, umbilical, incisional, and ventral hernias.
Emergency and elective laparoscopic appendectomy with rapid recovery.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones and gallbladder disease.
Evaluation and treatment of breast lumps, cysts, abscesses, and benign breast conditions.
Thyroidectomy and thyroid nodule removal with nerve preservation.
Treatment for haemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, and anorectal conditions.
Follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth surgical experience and optimal recovery.
All procedures are performed using evidence-based international surgical protocols for optimal outcomes.
While both approaches are safe and effective, laparoscopic surgery offers significant advantages for many conditions. Dr. Vanesha Varik recommends the most appropriate technique based on individual patient assessment.
The cost of laparoscopic surgery in Dubai depends on the specific procedure, hospital stay, anaesthesia, and whether mesh or specialised devices are used. Most medically indicated keyhole surgeries are covered by UAE health insurance. Dr. Vanesha Varik's team shares a written estimate and secures insurance pre-approval before scheduling your operation.
