Laparoscopic Surgeon near Siwan: Dr. Rajnish Kumar Thakur, Gopalganj

By road: National Highway 531 connects Siwan with Gopalganj, and it meets NH 27 at Gopalganj. You can come by your own or a hired vehicle along this highway. Once you enter Gopalganj town, ask for Kamla Rai College Road in the Arar area; our hospital is beside Hotel Ralson. Searching for Dr. R. K. Thakur Hospital on Google Maps gives the exact pin.

By train: Siwan Junction has a branch line to Thawe Junction, which is in Gopalganj district, a few kilometres from Gopalganj town. From Thawe you will need a local vehicle to reach us. Train timings change, so please check the current timetable on the railway enquiry number 139 or the NTES app before you plan around a train.

Gallbladder stones are a common reason people look for a keyhole surgeon. The usual operation, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, means removing the gallbladder through small cuts. If an ultrasound done in Siwan shows stones, bring it with you. Our doctor may ask for blood tests or a fresh scan; we have our own pathology laboratory, digital X-ray and ultrasound, so most tests can be done during the same visit. If a stone has slipped into the bile duct, a different procedure called CBD exploration may be needed, and our surgeon will explain this to you. For the full picture, read gallbladder stone symptoms and surgery.

Dr. Thakur sees patients in our OPD from Monday to Friday, 10 am to 7 pm. For a planned problem such as gallbladder stones, a hernia or piles, leave Siwan early in the morning so that the consultation, the tests and the explanation of the plan can happen on the same day. If an operation is advised, we fix the date with you once the reports are ready.

Our hospital and emergency are open 24 hours, every day. For sudden severe belly pain, vomiting that does not stop, or a swelling that becomes hard and painful, please call +91 72739 94786 while you travel. If the patient is very unwell, go to the nearest hospital in Siwan first; never delay emergency care for a longer journey.

Siwan and Gopalganj are both in Bihar, so a Bihar Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY card is used here in the usual way; living in another district of Bihar does not need any extra paperwork. We have been empanelled under PM-JAY since about January 2022, renewed in July 2025, for general surgery and laparoscopic surgery packages, about 50 procedures, including gallbladder stone, hernia, hydrocele and appendix operations. As of mid-2025, gynaecology and urology packages were not part of our empanelment, so operations such as uterus removal or kidney stone surgery may not be covered here under Ayushman.

Bring the card or its number, the patient's Aadhaar and a phone linked to that Aadhaar for OTP, and meet our Ayushman help desk after your OPD visit. Read more on our Ayushman Bharat page.

After a laparoscopic operation most patients go home in 1 to 2 days, though our surgeon decides this for each patient. Before discharge, we give you a discharge summary with the medicines, the diet advice and the date for your check-up or stitch removal. The steps below help you avoid unnecessary trips to Gopalganj. For more detail, read recovery after laparoscopic surgery.
