20 Years of LOC | Limca Record: 45 Hernia Surgeries in 10 Hours – Dr. Shashank Shah

04/07/2025 No Comments

Celebrating Two Decades of Surgical Excellence at LOC

In July 2025, Laparo Obeso Centre (LOC) proudly celebrated 20 years of groundbreaking work in bariatric and laparoscopic surgery. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Shashank Shah, LOC has set new benchmarks in patient care, innovation, and surgical expertise—not just in India, but globally.

Adding to this historic milestone, LOC recently earned a prestigious recognition: Dr. Shah has been featured in the Limca Book of Records for performing 45 hernia surgeries in just 10 hours. This remarkable achievement reflects the team’s unwavering commitment to clinical excellence and efficiency, making it a moment of pride for the Indian medical community.

Limca Book of Records: A Landmark Achievement

In a feat that has captured national attention, Dr. Shashank Shah and his surgical team completed 45 successful hernia surgeries in a single day—within just 10 hours. The event was meticulously planned, with safety, hygiene, and personalized care prioritized for each patient.

This achievement has now been officially recognized by the Limca Book of Records, placing LOC in the elite league of Indian healthcare pioneers.

“Setting a record was never the goal; offering timely, efficient care to our patients was. But this recognition reinforces our belief that speed should never come at the cost of safety and precision,” says Dr. Shah.

20 Years of Transforming Lives

Founded in 2005, Laparo Obeso Centre has grown into one of Asia’s leading centers for:

  • Bariatric (weight-loss) surgery
  • Laparoscopic hernia repair
  • Advanced GI and metabolic surgeries

With more than 12,000 bariatric surgeries and countless hernia, gallbladder, and proctology procedures performed, LOC continues to transform lives with patient-centered care and cutting-edge technology.

Dr. Shah’s contribution to bariatric surgery has also been recognized globally. His biography was the first-ever biography of a bariatric surgeon to be published in a leading international medical journal, as featured in The Times of India. This honor speaks volumes about his global impact and leadership in metabolic surgery.

Impact Beyond the Operating Room

Over the past two decades, Dr. Shah has represented India at global conferences, trained hundreds of surgeons, and contributed to international research in the field of metabolic surgery. LOC’s success stories extend far beyond hospital walls—bringing hope to people suffering from obesity-related health challenges like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

What’s Next?

The Limca Book of Records achievement marks not just the end of a chapter, but the beginning of a bold new journey. With expanded facilities in Mumbai and Pune, LOC is set to further its mission: offering affordable, world-class surgery with compassion and care.

As we look to the future, LOC reaffirms its pledge to innovate, educate, and heal—one patient at a time.
