About Dr. Prasad M. Bhukebag

Dr. Prasad M. Bhukebag is a highly distinguished Senior Consultant and globally trained surgeon specializing in Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery, Robotic Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, Hernia & Advanced Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR), and General Surgery. With two decades of comprehensive surgical practice and a clinical record of over 5,000 successful procedures, he is recognized as a premier expert in minimally invasive and weight loss interventions across Mulund, Thane, and the wider Mumbai region.

 

Dr. Bhukebag’s academic and practical training spans three continents—India, Asia, and Europe—comprising advanced fellowships at elite surgical centers in Taiwan, Belgium, and New Delhi. In 2019, he was awarded the prestigious Fellowship of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a highly rigorous distinction conferred upon fewer than 1% of practicing surgeons globally.

 

He currently operates as a Senior Consultant Surgeon at Zen Multispeciality Hospital, Mumbai, and serves as a Visiting Surgeon at IIT Bombay Hospital, where he manages over 1,200 clinical cases annually. Additionally, he extends his specialist services via visiting consultant roles across prominent regional healthcare hubs, including Fortis Hospital, Fortis Hiranandani Hospital (Navi Mumbai), Bethany Hospital, Kaushalya Hospital, Hira Mongi Navneet Hospital (Mulund), and Shetty's Endoscopic Surgical Centre. Beyond his extensive clinical duties, Dr. Bhukebag is an active medical researcher, textbook author, and surgical educator dedicated to evolving advanced minimal access surgical protocols in India.

 

My Patient Philosophy

Dr. Bhukebag believes that an outstanding surgeon must prioritize the absolute clinical appropriateness of a procedure over mere technical execution. His practice is firmly rooted in ensuring every patient receives a exhaustive, personalized pre-operative evaluation before any definitive surgical recommendation is made. He views minimally invasive and robotic options not simply as modern alternatives, but as an ethical responsibility to secure fewer scars, reduce postoperative pain, and offer a accelerated return to normal daily life. Whether handling a routine outpatient hernia repair or a complex, multi-stage revisional bariatric procedure, his baseline standard of care remains consistent: precise, ethical, and tailored to the patient's individual health path.
