Restoring form and function after trauma, burns, cancer and congenital difference. This is the work hospitals across Gujarat refer here.
Reconstructive surgery rebuilds what injury, disease or birth difference has taken away. As a reconstructive surgeon in Surat, Dr. Arvind Patel treats the whole problem, restoring function first and appearance alongside it.
Much of this work depends on microsurgery. Moving living tissue from one part of the body to another requires joining vessels barely a millimetre wide under a microscope. Dr. Patel has performed more than three thousand free microvascular tissue transfers, largely for head and neck cancer reconstruction, and continues to take referrals from hospitals across the state.

Learn moreHospitals across Gujarat send their most complex reconstruction cases to this team, which is the clearest measure of surgical standing.
More than 3,000 free microvascular tissue transfers performed, largely for head and neck cancer reconstruction.
Reconstruction is planned so the part works again. Aesthetic refinement follows, rather than driving the plan.
Trauma does not keep office hours. Full theatre and critical-care infrastructure is available 24 hours at Kiran Hospital.
Reconstructive surgery restores function and form lost to injury, disease or a birth difference. Cosmetic surgery changes an otherwise normal structure by choice. The techniques overlap heavily, which is why one surgeon performs both.
Reconstructive procedures carried out for a medical reason are often covered, unlike purely cosmetic surgery. Coverage depends on your policy and the documentation provided, and the clinic team can help with the paperwork.
A flap is living tissue moved from one part of the body to another along with its own blood supply. In a free flap the vessels are cut and reconnected under a microscope at the new site.
Simple procedures heal in weeks. Staged reconstruction after major trauma or cancer can run over months and sometimes needs more than one operation, which is planned and explained from the outset.
Yes. Mature burn scars causing tightness, restricted movement or disfigurement can often be released and reconstructed years after the original injury. Assessment determines what is realistic.
Consultations at Kiran Hospital, Katargam, Surat. NRI and outstation patients can request a video consultation.
