Dr. Nakka Venkata Rajesh
Experience: | 8 years |
Education: | Andhra Pradesh Medical Council |
Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am specialised in MS general surgery and my work mostly revolves around treating a wide range of surgical conditions, from abdominal emergencies to planned procedures like hernia or gall bladder surgery. During training I learned that general surgery is not limited to one organ system, it demands knowledge across different areas, whether it’s gastrointestinal, trauma, or wound management. That variety keeps the field challenging but also very rewarding.
In practice I deal with cases where quick decision is required, like appendicitis or intestinal obstruction, and also slower paced problems where planning is important, such as chronic ulcers or elective repairs. Each patient comes with different background, some afraid of surgery, some eager to get relief fast. I try to listen first, explain the options in simple words and make sure treatment is safe and clear for them.
I also keep strong focus on post operative care, because surgery does not end in the operation theatre. Recovery, pain management, preventing infection, all these matter equally to achieve good outcome. For me being a surgeon is not only about operating skill but also patience, observation and guiding patients through recovery step by step. |
Achievements: | I am trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and that certification gave me the skill to respond in critical cardiac emergencies. It covers things like CPR, airway management, defibrillation and drug protocols that can save a life in seconds. During practice sessions I realised how every step, even chest compression depth or timing, makes difference. It feels demanding but also reassuring, knowing I can step in when a patient crash suddenly and guide the team to stabilize them!! |
I am a surgeon by training and I completed my masters of surgery in general surgery, but along the way I also gained experience working in different specialties. That exposure made me realise surgery is not only about operating, it is about understanding the whole patient first, knowing the background issues before stepping into the OT. During training I rotated through many departments, each one teaching me something different – handling trauma cases, assisting in abdominal procedures, managing post operative care where small details like fluid balance matter a lot. General surgery became my main field because it offers such a wide scope. I deal with conditions ranging from appendicitis to hernia repairs, from wound management to gastrointestinal problems that sometimes require urgent intervention. I learned that even what looks like a “simple case” can turn unpredictable inside the theatre, and that is where patience and preparation count more than anything. I also spent time observing and assisting in areas beyond core general surgery, which gave me confidence when I face complex scenarios today. Working in emergency situations taught me to stay calm when everything feels rushed. Interacting with senior doctors at superspeciality levels exposed me to refined techniques, but also reminded me that no matter how advanced the method, the patient’s safety comes first. Now as a practicing surgeon I try to keep my care practical and approachable. I explain procedures in simple terms, even repeat things if needed, because I know patients and families often carry fear before surgery. I also focus on post operative recovery, encouraging early movement, diet adjustments, and close follow ups. My approach is not about rushing, rather about steady, safe progress. Looking back, what keeps me motivated is the balance between skill and responsibility. Surgery is demanding, long hours, sometimes exhausting, but the satisfaction when a patient recovers well makes it meaningful. I continue to grow everyday, with each case teaching me something new that no textbook could fully cover.
