His techniques, including the Adenomyomectomy, Butterfly Peritonectomy, Rule of M, and 5 Steps of Ureterolysis, have helped achieve a recurrence rate of less than 2% at Mayflower Women's Hospital.
With over 60,000 laparoscopic procedures and more than two decades of surgical experience, Dr. Patel has played a key role in advancing minimally invasive gynaecology in India. He holds a Diploma in Endoscopy and Endometriosis Surgery from Germany and introduced modern laparoscopic techniques in India at a time when they were not widely practised.
He is also among the first surgeons in Asia to perform Laparoscopic Wertheim’s Hysterectomy, a complex procedure requiring high surgical precision.
For patients looking for a trusted endometriosis surgeon in Ahmedabad, Dr. Sanjay Patel offers expertise backed by innovation, experience, and consistent surgical outcomes.
Beyond his own operating theatre, Dr. Sanjay has trained over 2,000 gynaecologists across India, Europe, and Asia, passing on not just technique, but the philosophy that endometriosis must be completely removed, not managed. This commitment to surgical education is embodied in Mayflower's fellowship programme, which draws doctors from across India and internationally to train under his guidance.
Patients travel from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, UAE, and over 26 other countries specifically to be operated on by Dr. Sanjay Patel. For many of them, it is after two, three, or even four previous surgeries elsewhere. He is the surgeon patients find when they have run out of other options, and he rarely sends them away without a solution.

He founded the endometriosis surgical programme at Mayflower Women's Hospital and developed the institution's clinical protocols from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions
you have chronic pelvic pain, severe menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, pain during sex, difficulty conceiving, or symptoms affecting your bowel or bladder, especially if these have not resolved with standard treatment, a specialist evaluation is advisable. Dr. Sanjay Patel specifically sees women with complex or recurrent disease, those who have had unsuccessful surgeries elsewhere, and patients who need fertility-preserving surgical care.
when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, on the ovaries, bowel, bladder, or pelvic peritoneum. Adenomyosis occurs when this tissue grows into the muscle wall of the uterus itself. The two conditions frequently co-exist and both can cause heavy periods, pelvic pain, and fertility difficulties. At Mayflower, Dr. Sanjay uses laparoscopy combined with specialist imaging to distinguish between the two and design a combined treatment plan where needed.
Yes, endometriosis is associated with infertility in approximately 30 to 50% of affected women. It can block the fallopian tubes, damage the ovaries, create an inflammatory environment hostile to implantation, and affect egg quality. Surgical removal of endometriosis, performed by an experienced specialist, often significantly improves the chances of natural conception. For women where surgery alone is unlikely to achieve pregnancy, Dr. Sanjay works in close collaboration with Mayflower's IVF team.
Yes, the Butterfly Peritonectomy was developed by Dr. Sanjay Patel and Dr Smeet Patel at Mayflower Women's Hospital. It involves removing the entire diseased peritoneal lining in a butterfly-shaped excision across the pelvis, eliminating the microscopic disease that standard surgery cannot see and that causes endometriosis to return. This technique is the primary reason Mayflower's recurrence rate is less than 2%, compared to a global average of 40% after conventional surgery.
Yes, patients travel from Gujarat, India and over 26 countries, including Canada, the USA, Europe, and the Middle East. Many are patients who have had previous surgeries in their home countries without lasting relief. Mayflower offers pre-travel video consultations, a complete diagnostic review, and a personalised treatment plan before patients commit to travelling.
