A Landmark Moment for Mohak Bariatrics and Indian Metabolic Surgery
Indian bariatric surgery has reached a historic global milestone.
Dr. Mohit Bhandari, Founder and Chief Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon at Mohak Bariatrics, has become the first Indian surgeon to be formally invited and licensed to perform live bariatric surgery in Spain, under the academic supervision of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
This recognition places Indian bariatric expertise on one of the highest global academic platforms, reinforcing India’s growing leadership in advanced obesity and metabolic surgery.
What Makes This Achievement Historically Significant?
Live surgery at a European academic forum is not a routine invitation.
Unlike conference lectures or panel discussions, live surgical demonstrations require formal credentialing, licensing, and verification of surgical competence under European medical standards. Surgeons are evaluated for:
- Proven surgical outcomes
- Patient safety records
- Ethical compliance
- Adherence to international medical protocols
- Teaching capability at a global level
Dr. Mohit Bhandari’s selection reflects institutional trust by European medical authorities, making this a landmark first for India.
About the Live Surgery Event in Spain
The live surgery will be performed during a prestigious minimally invasive surgery conference held from 4–6 February 2026 in Seville, Spain.
This academic meeting brings together leading bariatric and minimally invasive surgeons from across Europe and the world, who will observe:
- Real-time bariatric surgical technique
- Decision-making during complex cases
- Advanced minimally invasive approaches
- International patient safety protocols
- Evidence-based surgical workflows
The surgery will be transmitted live to expert audiences, reinforcing transparency, accountability, and educational excellence.
Dr. Mohit Bhandari’s Global Surgical Credentials
With a career defined by scale, safety, and science, Dr. Bhandari has successfully performed over 40,000 bariatric and metabolic surgeries, treating complex obesity-related conditions including:
- Morbid and super-obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- Metabolic syndrome
- Obesity-related joint disease
- Fatty liver disease
- PCOD and hormonal obesity
His work has consistently focused on long-term metabolic outcomes, not cosmetic weight loss, aligning with global best practices in bariatric medicine.
Why This Matters for Patients at Mohak Bariatrics
For patients, this global recognition is not symbolic — it is clinically meaningful.
It demonstrates that:
- Surgical protocols at Mohak Bariatrics meet international standards

Strengthening India’s Position in Global Bariatric Surgery
Experts acknowledge that UEMS credentialing represents one of the highest benchmarks of surgical validation in Europe.
Dr. Bhandari’s invitation reinforces:
- India’s emergence as a leader in metabolic and bariatric surgery
- The credibility of Indian surgeons in global academic medicine
- Ethical, protocol-driven Indian healthcare delivery
This achievement strengthens the global identity of Indian surgical science, beyond medical tourism narratives.
