Reimplantation and Microvascular Surgeries are considered as one of the most advanced surgical techniques and is our main area of interest making our department one of the best in this speciality in the entire nation. With the help of this advanced technique we are successfully rehabilitating high number of Branchial Plexus Injury cases visiting our OPD. In post-traumatic defects of upper and lower limbs, microvascular surgery is a big boon as the transfer of free-tissue helps in proper reclamation of traumatic site.

We have been able to provide the treatment for diabetic foot and save 80% of our patients from getting their legs amputated.

Reconstuction in Head & Neck Cancer patients and Breast Cancer patients is our forte.

Being one of the Smile Train Cleft Care Partner Hospital of Smile Train India, the department has provided free cleft surgeries to approximately 9000 patients. Under the guidance of our Project Director Dr Amit Agarwal, we not only provide our cleft patients with surgical treatment but also have a well equipped Orthodontics and Speech Therapy department under us to provide a complete comprehensive care. Patients are followed up from birth till adulthood to help them tackle social and psychological challenges at every age and improve quality of life. We are organizing regular camps to make the Smile Train services available to people of remote villages.
