About Dr. Babu Elangovan

Liver Transplant & GI / HPB Surgery, Done Right

Dr. Babu Elangovan is a Surgical Gastroenterologist and Liver Transplant Surgeon based in Chennai, with over two decades in advanced GI and hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery. He has been part of 300+ live and deceased-donor liver transplants and performs the full range of laparoscopic, robotic and minimal-access GI surgery — from gallbladder and hernia to complex cancer and transplant operations. A former Professor of Surgical Gastroenterology, he consults across leading Chennai hospitals so patients are cared for by the same surgeon from diagnosis through recovery.

Why a two-surgeon practice

You are looked after by one experienced surgeon across every Chennai location — the same hands plan your treatment, perform the operation and follow you through recovery.

A super-specialist (MCh, Surgical Gastroenterology) focused on liver transplantation and HPB surgery — a rarer, more focused skill set than general or laparoscopic surgery for liver, pancreas and bile-duct disease. He brings transplant-grade precision to everyday GI operations and offers robotic and keyhole approaches for faster, lower-pain recovery.
