What Does Dr. Rao Specialize In?

Over his two-decade-long career, Dr. Rao has performed thousands of surgeries—many of which have significantly improved patients’ lives. Here are some of his core areas of expertise:

Intestinal surgeries
Some GI cancer resections

These procedures are safe, effective, and especially beneficial for elderly or high-risk patients who need quicker recovery times.

A diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer can be overwhelming—but with the right surgical intervention, many patients have a strong chance at recovery. Dr. Rao has in-depth experience managing:

Stomach cancer
Colon and rectal cancers
Esophageal cancer
Liver tumors
Pancreatic cancer

He works closely with oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to provide holistic cancer care—starting from diagnosis and surgery to recovery and long-term follow-ups.

In addition to cancer and laparoscopic surgeries, Dr. Rao treats a wide range of digestive system issues:

Hernias (inguinal, umbilical, incisional)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
