Chennai, India — Dr. K. S. Thalavai Sundarram, a Chennai-based endocrine surgeon specializing in robotic and scarless thyroid surgery, has announced a significant clinical milestone: the completion of more than 100 robotic total thyroidectomy procedures. This places him among a small group of surgeons across India performing this advanced procedure at high volume.
Dr. Sundarram holds MBBS, MS, and MCh qualifications in endocrine surgery, along with a Fellowship in Advanced Robotic & Innovative Surgery (FARIS), and brings over 18 years of specialized surgical experience to his practice. He is trained on the da Vinci Robotic Surgery System and is recognized as India's first endocrine surgery proctor authorized to train other surgeons in robotic thyroid and parathyroid techniques on the platform.
His clinical focus spans the medical and surgical management of thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pancreatic neuroendocrine disorders. A core part of his practice is minimally invasive, scarless cosmetic surgery — an approach that appeals particularly to younger patients concerned about visible neck scarring from conventional thyroid surgery. These techniques are associated with reduced blood loss, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open procedures.
Beyond his surgical practice, Dr. Sundarram serves as Assistant Professor at Tamil Nadu Government Multi Super Specialty Hospital, Omandurar, and contributes to the wider endocrine surgery community. Since 2020, he has served as an official observer for CME and conference programmes with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, and he sits on the editorial panel of the World Journal of Endocrine Surgery as a manuscript reviewer.
Dr. Sundarram currently consults at Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, and VS Hospitals, Kilpauk, in addition to his primary clinic in Perambur, Chennai. His practice continues to see patients for thyroid swelling, pituitary disorders, and broader metabolic and hormonal conditions.
