About Dr. Premkamol Patraithikul

Dr. Premkamol Patraithikul is a Thai Board-certified surgeon at YOUNIFY Clinic, a physician-led Healthy Aging and Wellness Center on Silom Road in central Bangkok. Her practice is in general and laparoscopic surgery, with an emphasis on minimally invasive technique, structured recovery and long-term outcomes rather than the operation alone.

She earned his Doctor of Medicine from the Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, completed his General Surgery residency at Thammasat University, and went on to a Fellowship in Laparoscopic Surgery at Mahidol University (Siriraj Hospital). He has held the Thai Board of Surgery since 2021.

MAIN AREAS OF PRACTICE

  • Laparoscopic surgery: keyhole surgery performed through a few small incisions using a camera and fine instruments, instead of one long open incision. For suitable patients this generally means less post-operative pain and a quicker return to normal activity than open surgery, though this differs from person to person.
  • General surgery: modern, patient-centred surgical care across a broad range of general surgical conditions.
  • Weight and metabolic surgery: surgical approaches to obesity and weight management, for patients whose situation is better served by an operation than by endoscopic or medical treatment alone. At YOUNIFY Clinic this sits alongside non-surgical options, so the choice is made on clinical grounds rather than by default.
  • Digestive surgery: surgical management of gastrointestinal conditions, with planning tailored to the individual case.

HOW HE WORKS

Dr. Premkamol places particular weight on perioperative care and recovery planning: the assessment before the operation, the anaesthetic and surgical plan, and the structured follow-up afterwards. Every case begins with a consultation and a review of the patient's history, examination and investigations; surgery is recommended only when it is the appropriate option, and the alternatives are explained first.

Patients commonly consult him for a surgical opinion on a condition already diagnosed elsewhere, for a second view on whether an operation is needed at all, and for weight-related surgery when other approaches have not worked. Because YOUNIFY Clinic runs endoscopic, medical and surgical weight management under one roof, a patient can be assessed by both the surgical and the non-surgical side of the team before committing to either. For a first consultation it helps to bring any previous imaging, laboratory results, operative notes and a current list of medications, so the discussion can be specific rather than general.

Consultations are available in Thai and English, and the clinic regularly cares for international patients travelling to Bangkok, supported by YOUNIFY Clinic's medical travel pathway from pre-arrival planning through to departure and follow-up.

Obesity/Bariatric Surgery

Obesity/Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery abroad covers gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass, gastric balloon, and revisional weight loss procedures performed by experienced bariatric surgeons. These life-changing operations are not limited to weight reduction alone, they resolve obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. The cost factor drives most patients toward bariatric surgery abroad. A gastric sleeve that costs $18,000 to $30,000 at home may be available for $4,000 to $8,000 abroad at equally accredited hospitals with board-certified bariatric surgeons and comprehensive pre- and post-operative programs. Leading international bariatric centers offer shorter waiting times, comprehensive nutritional and psychological evaluation, and dedicated aftercare support. Patients consistently report more structured preparation, individualized surgical planning, and thorough follow-up care than they received at home. The surgeon's bariatric certification and the program's aftercare structure are the most important factors to consider. Always confirm the program includes a dietitian, psychologist, and long-term follow-up plan for clarity with plan. Dietary compliance, supplementation adherence, and lifestyle changes after surgery are what ultimately determine long-term success.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery abroad offers minimally invasive procedures across urology, gynecology, cardiac, colorectal, and thoracic specialties using the da Vinci Surgical System and other advanced robotic platforms. Procedures combine 3D magnified visualization, tremor-free instrument control, and enhanced surgical precision. [Robotic surgery](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/robotic-surgery/robotic-orthopedic-surgery) costs are significantly higher in many Western countries. A robotic prostatectomy that costs $30,000 to $50,000 at home may be available for $8,000 to $15,000 abroad at equally equipped hospitals with fellowship-trained robotic surgeons and comparable clinical outcomes. Leading international [robotic surgery centers](https://curemeabroad.com/) offer shorter waiting times, high-volume robotic procedure experience, and comprehensive pre- and post-operative coordination. Patients consistently report more thorough surgical planning and attentive recovery support than they experienced at home. The robotic surgeon's case volume and subspecialty certification are the most critical factors. Confirm the surgeon has performed a minimum of 200 robotic procedures in your specific indication. Following postoperative activity restrictions and attending all follow-up appointments plays a significant role in achieving the best outcome.

Weight Loss Program

Weight Loss Program

Medical weight loss programs abroad offer medically supervised, evidence-based weight management combining nutritional therapy, GLP-1 pharmacotherapy, behavioral coaching, exercise medicine, and body composition monitoring. Programs are designed for sustainable, healthy weight loss — not short-term dieting — and address the metabolic and psychological drivers of obesity. Comprehensive medical weight loss care is expensive and fragmented in many countries. A medically supervised weight loss program that costs $8,000 to $20,000 at home may be available for $2,000 to $6,000 abroad at equally qualified medical wellness centers with physicians, dietitians, and behavioral coaches. Leading international medical [weight loss](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/obesity-bariatric-surgery/weight-loss-medications) centers offer thorough metabolic and hormonal assessment, personalized nutrition and pharmacotherapy plans, and structured exercise programs with ongoing monitoring. Patients consistently report more individualized, science-based weight management than they found through commercial slimming programs at home. The physician's expertise in metabolic medicine and the program's long-term support structure are the most important factors. Confirm the program includes a clinical dietitian and behavioral health support. Sustained lifestyle changes in eating habits, physical activity, sleep quality, and stress management are the essential foundation for maintaining weight loss results long-term.
