Dr. Vaibhav Mande is a general surgeon with over 12 years of surgical experience, holding an MS in General Surgery. His clinical practice is focused on procedures involving the digestive system, abdominal wall and anorectal conditions, with specific expertise in piles (haemorrhoids), hernia and fistula surgeries. He brings a patient-centred approach to surgical care, built on clear communication, careful pre-operative assessment and consistent post-operative follow-up.
Piles, medically known as haemorrhoids, are one of the most frequently encountered anorectal conditions in surgical outpatient practice. They can range from mild discomfort and occasional bleeding to significantly painful and bleeding internal or external haemorrhoids that require surgical intervention. Dr. Mande manages piles across this full range, beginning with a thorough assessment to determine the grade and type of haemorrhoid, followed by a structured discussion with the patient about the available treatment options. Depending on the case, this may include conservative management, minimally invasive procedures or formal surgical haemorrhoidectomy.
Fistula surgery is another key area of his practice. An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin around the anus, typically as a result of a previous abscess. Surgical correction is the primary treatment for anal fistulas and requires careful technique to eliminate the fistula track while preserving the surrounding sphincter muscle. Dr. Mande's experience across these cases gives him the clinical judgment to select the appropriate surgical approach based on the fistula's anatomy and the patient's individual factors.
Hernia repair forms the third pillar of his surgical practice. Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through a weakness in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. The most common types seen in surgical practice are inguinal (groin) hernias and umbilical (navel) hernias. Depending on the size, symptoms and patient profile, Dr. Mande approaches hernia repair with appropriate surgical techniques designed to reduce recurrence risk and support a smooth recovery.
Beyond these three specialisations, Dr. Mande handles the broader scope of general surgery, attending to patients who require surgical assessment and management of abdominal complaints, soft tissue conditions and other surgical presentations. He also practises at Baner Multi-Speciality Hospital, Baner, Pune, where patients from Baner, Wakad, Aundh and Pashan can access his surgical expertise for consultations and planned procedures close to home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Mande manages piles across multiple grades of severity. For early-stage piles, minimally invasive options may be recommended. For more advanced cases with significant prolapse or persistent bleeding, formal surgical haemorrhoidectomy may be required. The choice of procedure depends on the type and grade of haemorrhoids identified during examination and a discussion with the patient about their preferences and medical history.
Not always. Mild piles can often be managed conservatively with dietary changes, increased fibre intake, adequate hydration and local medication. However, fistulas typically do require surgical correction as they do not resolve on their own and carry a risk of recurrent infections if left untreated. Dr. Mande assesses each case individually and recommends surgical intervention only when it is clearly indicated based on the clinical findings.
Recovery time after hernia repair depends on the size of the hernia, the surgical technique used and the patient's overall health. Most patients who undergo routine inguinal or umbilical hernia repair can return to light daily activities within one to two weeks. Strenuous physical activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for a longer period. Dr. Mande provides specific post-operative guidance tailored to each patient's procedure and lifestyle.
Yes. Anal fistulas that have recurred after previous treatment are more complex to manage because scarring and altered tissue anatomy from prior surgery can make the fistula track harder to identify and safely treat. Dr. Mande assesses both first-time and recurrent fistulas, determining the appropriate surgical approach based on the current anatomy and the patient's sphincter function, with preservation of continence as a key priority.
