Experience: | 4 years |
Education: | Rajiv Gandhi University Of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am a consultant endoscopist & laparoscopic surgeon, and honestly I kinda live in the world of abdominal conditions. I work with thyroid issues, breast lumps, hernia cases—some straightforward, others not at all. Most days are filled with things like appendix removal, gall bladder surgeries, treating fistulas or piles that patients ignored for way too long. Also deal with fissures, ulcers, and wounds that don’t heal like they shuld.
I do a lot of vascular stuff too—arterial blockages, venous insufficiency, and yeah, sometimes weird complications from trauma or infection. Endoscopy gives me a good handle on what’s going on inside without jumping straight to surgery, but when surgery’s needed, I prefer laparoscopy... cleaner access, quicker recovery (most times), fewer stitches, less drama. Gall bladder, pancreas, stomach, intestines—I’ve kinda rotated through all of that over time. Every case brings it’s own quirks, no matter how “routine” it looks on paper. |
Achievements: | I am a graduate from one of Karntaka’s oldest medical colleges—place had this mix of chaos, pressure, and deep clinical exposure that really shaped how I look at medicine. Lot of hands-on stuff, esp in surgical rounds, which kinda pulled me into procedure-heavy specialties later. That early environment, messy as it was, gave me real-world clarity you don’t always get from books. Wouldn’t call it easy... but yeah, totally worth it for where I am now. |
I am a consultant endoscopist and laparoscopic surgeon, mostly working with a mix of thyroid, breast, and abdominal cases—but honestly, my days hardly look the same. One moment it’s a gall bladder issue, next it’s a hernia or piles, or even something deeper like arterial blockage or a weird intestinal bleed that won’t show up in scans till you dig in with the scope. I do see a lot of patients with chronic fissure or fistula, and while many assume these are “simple” problems, they rarely are. Pain doesn’t always follow rules. Laparoscopic work’s where I feel most settled. Whether it's appendix removal, dealing with ulcers, or trauma from abdominal injuries—minimally invasive techniques let me do more with less, if that makes sense? Faster recovery, smaller scars, and often less fear in the patient’s eyes when I explain what we’ll do. Endoscopy helps too, like it gives me a window inside without rushing to cut. And when you’re managing conditions around pancreas or intestines, that kinda access really matters. Some of the vascular stuff—venous diseases or weird wound-healing cases—those I usually take a step back and rethink before jumping in. There’s no single playbook. You sorta learn that over time. It’s hard to explain all this in a single line—each condition I treat, whether it’s piles, hernia, or a stomach ulcer, carries its own story. I just try to stay alert, update my skills, and listen carefully—people don’t always say everything out loud, but their pain shows it. And yah, communication helps as much as a scalpel, probably more sometimes. Mistakes teach too, though no one talks about those much... but they sharpen you, for real.
