Gastro & Hepatobiliary Surgeon
Dr. Aakanksha Soni
MCh (Surg Gastro) • PDCC (G.B. Pant, Delhi)
Surgical precision, restorative care, and thoughtful patient counsel.
Dr. Aakanksha Soni brings apex institutional training from G.B. Pant Hospital (New Delhi), AIIMS Jodhpur, and V.S. Hospital (Ahmedabad) to Udaipur, delivering dedicated surgical gastroenterology, advanced laparoscopy, and liver, gallbladder & pancreatic care at GBH Memorial Hospital.
“Surgery must always be an act of restraint before it is an act of intervention. In gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary care, the highest duty of a surgeon is not merely technical precision with laparoscopy, but knowing when conservative therapy suffices—and ensuring that every patient understands their options with clarity and dignity.”
As a surgical gastroenterologist, Dr. Aakanksha Soni believes that modern gastrointestinal care requires the fusion of advanced minimally invasive technique with deep clinical rigor. Her post-doctoral training at G.B. Pant Hospital in New Delhi focused specifically on the high-complexity field of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) surgery and laparoscopic oncology, areas where millimeters matter and surgical planning dictates long-term recovery and quality of life.
Practicing in Udaipur, she works alongside diagnostic specialists, gastroenterologists, and critical care teams at GBH Memorial Hospital to provide comprehensive digestive care—from gallbladder stones and complex hernia repairs to liver resections, achalasia, and colorectal reconstructions.
