Laparoscopic Surgery near Motihari: Keyhole and Laser Treatment in Gopalganj
For families from Motihari and the rest of East Champaran, we offer laparoscopic surgery near Motihari at Dr. R.K. Thakur Hospital in Gopalganj, which lies on the same national highway, NH 27. Our hospital is in Gopalganj, and the drive from East Champaran crosses the Gandak river on the way. Dr. Rajnish Kumar Thakur, our founder and chief surgeon and Senior Consultant in laparoscopic, laser, urology and general surgery, treats gallbladder stones, appendix, hernia and hydrocele with keyhole methods where suitable. We also have a diode laser for piles, fistula, fissure, pilonidal sinus and varicose veins, and a stapler for MIPH piles surgery, so if you are asking about piles laser treatment near Motihari, we can discuss both options in a single consultation. Laser and keyhole treatment usually mean small cuts and less pain than open surgery, although the right choice depends on your condition. Our upper GI endoscopy, digital X-ray, ultrasound and pathology lab are in the same building, so most tests are done under one roof. Below, we set out the NH 27 route, what to carry, our OPD timings, the Ayushman card for East Champaran and care at home. Please start by sending your reports on WhatsApp to +91 72739 94786.
Getting to Gopalganj from Motihari on NH 27
NH 27, the national highway that runs from Gorakhpur through Gopalganj and Motihari to Muzaffarpur, is the main road link. Coming from Motihari, you meet NH 27 at Piprakothi, about 10 km from Motihari town, and then drive west towards Gopalganj. Between East Champaran and Gopalganj the road crosses the Gandak river at the Dumariaghat bridge. Highway traffic and the river crossing can slow the journey, so please leave with time to spare and check a map app before you start.
In Gopalganj, ask for Kamla Rai College Road in the Arar area. Our hospital is beside Hotel Ralson, and the Google Maps listing Dr. R. K. Thakur Hospital leads you to the gate. If you need directions, please call +91 72739 94786.
Piles laser treatment near Motihari: laser, stapler and other options
Piles (swollen veins at the back passage), fissure (a small tear) and fistula (bhagandar, an abnormal tunnel near the anus) are different problems, and each needs its own treatment. We use a diode laser for piles, fistula, fissure, pilonidal sinus and varicose veins, and a stapler for MIPH, a type of piles surgery. Not every patient needs an operation: early piles and many fissures improve with more fibre, more water and medicines. Dr. Thakur examines you first and then suggests what suits you.

Planning your visit from Motihari: timings, tests and what to carry
Dr. Thakur's OPD runs Monday to Friday, 10 am to 7 pm. Please try to arrive by early afternoon so blood tests, X-ray or ultrasound can be finished the same day. If our doctor advises an upper GI endoscopy, ask about fasting, because the stomach must be empty for the test.
Our emergency is open 24 hours. Sudden severe pain in the lower right side of the belly can be appendicitis; know the warning signs. Heavy bleeding from the back passage also needs urgent care. In such cases go to the nearest hospital if the journey would take too long, and please call +91 72739 94786 if you are heading to Gopalganj.
- Send us the reports on WhatsApp first and ask whether the patient should come fasting.
- Carry all reports, the films or CD of any scan, and old prescriptions.
- Bring the patient's Aadhaar card, the Ayushman card if any, and the phone linked to the Aadhaar for OTP.
- For piles, fissure or fistula, note how long the problem has lasted and whether there is bleeding, pain or discharge.
- Plan for one adult attendant who can stay if admission is advised.
- Keep the patient's regular medicines for a few extra days.
Ayushman card for East Champaran families
East Champaran is in Bihar, so we accept a Bihar PM-JAY card as at any empanelled hospital in the state. Our empanelment covers general and laparoscopic surgery packages, about 50 procedures, including gallbladder, hernia, hydrocele and appendix operations. Whether a particular piles, fistula or laser procedure falls under a package is checked by our Ayushman help desk against the current package list, so please ask before admission rather than assume. As of mid-2025, gynaecology and urology packages were not part of our empanelment.
Bring the card, the patient's Aadhaar and an Aadhaar-linked phone. Our Ayushman Bharat page explains each step.
After laser or keyhole surgery: care at home in East Champaran
After laser or stapler treatment for piles, and after most keyhole operations, the hospital stay is usually short; our surgeon will tell you when you can go home. At home, the aim is soft stools, a clean wound and fewer trips back across the Gandak.
- Eat more fibre (fruit, green vegetables, dal, whole grains) and drink plenty of water, so you do not strain in the toilet.
- Take warm water sitting baths (sitz baths) and stool softeners if prescribed.
- Send reports and questions on WhatsApp to +91 72739 94786; our team will tell you whether you need to come back.
- If our surgeon agrees, simple dressings can be done at a local clinic in Motihari using your discharge summary.
- Seek urgent care for heavy bleeding, fever, or if you cannot pass urine.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I get laparoscopic surgery near Motihari?
At Dr. R.K. Thakur Hospital, Kamla Rai College Road, beside Hotel Ralson, Arar, Gopalganj, which you reach from Motihari along NH 27. Our hospital is in Gopalganj, across the Gandak from East Champaran. Dr. Rajnish Kumar Thakur, our founder and chief surgeon, performs laparoscopic gallbladder, appendix, hernia and other operations. Please send your reports on WhatsApp to +91 72739 94786 to ask whether keyhole surgery suits you.
Who is the best laparoscopic surgeon in Motihari?
We do not rank surgeons or comment on doctors in Motihari. We are glad to share the facts: Dr. Rajnish Kumar Thakur, our founder and chief surgeon in Gopalganj, has more than 16 years of experience and over 10,000 surgeries, and trained at IGIMS Patna and Lady Hardinge Medical College. We encourage you to check the degrees, experience and patient reviews of any surgeon you consider.
Is piles laser treatment near Motihari painful?
Laser treatment for piles is done under anaesthesia, so you do not feel the procedure itself. Afterwards some soreness is usual. Many patients find it less painful than traditional open piles surgery, but this varies from person to person. Pain medicines, warm water sitting baths and a soft, high-fibre diet help. Our surgeon will explain what to expect in your case.
How do I reach Gopalganj from Motihari?
Join NH 27 at Piprakothi, about 10 km from Motihari, and drive west. The highway crosses the Gandak at the Dumariaghat bridge and enters Gopalganj district. In Gopalganj town, ask for Kamla Rai College Road in Arar; our hospital is beside Hotel Ralson. Search for Dr. R. K. Thakur Hospital on Google Maps for the exact pin.
Can laparoscopic surgery near Motihari be done on the day I arrive?
It depends on your tests and fitness. For a planned operation, our doctor first examines you, reviews the reports, orders tests such as blood work and heart checks, and makes sure you are fit for anaesthesia. We then fix the date with you. In an emergency such as appendicitis, we operate as soon as the patient is ready. Sending reports on WhatsApp beforehand saves time.
Do I need to bring an attendant from Motihari?
Yes. One adult attendant should come with every patient who may be admitted. The attendant helps with forms, medicines, food and moving about after the operation, and receives the instructions at discharge. Dr. Thakur explains laparoscopic procedures to a family member before surgery, so the attendant should be someone who can understand and share the plan.
Is fistula treated with laser at your hospital?
Yes, when it suits the case. We have a diode laser that we use for fistula, piles, fissure, pilonidal sinus and varicose veins. A fistula (bhagandar) can be simple or complex, and not every fistula suits laser; some need a fistulotomy or fistulectomy, which means opening or removing the tract. Our surgeon examines you, may order a scan, and then advises the method.
Can follow-up be done from Motihari without travelling back?
Partly. Send reports, questions and updates on WhatsApp to +91 72739 94786, and our team will tell you whether a visit is needed. If our surgeon agrees, simple dressings can be done at a local clinic following your discharge summary. Please still come for any review our doctor asks for, and seek urgent care for heavy bleeding, fever or trouble passing urine.
