Book AppoinmentMany of you, as young doctors, dream about your first pilot project. I did it too back in my days. It is an important step and usually remains a memorable one which also means either success or the lack of it. And the best most delicate part is that this first project will tag along in your memories for a really long time, perhaps throughout your career. Therefore, a lot of effort needs to be taken to check and recheck the process for the final launch.!
For me, that moment of hesitation was palpable. Standing in the operating theater, knife in hand, I grappled with the enormity of what lay ahead. To deliberately inflict a cut on another person, even under anesthesia, felt daunting. But amidst the apprehension, there was a resolute determination fueled by the knowledge that this procedure was essential to alleviate the patient's suffering. As I made that initial incision, the fear gradually dissipated, replaced by a focused determination to execute each step of the surgery meticulously. Time seemed to warp, hours passing in what felt like mere moments as I delved deeper into the intricacies of the operation. The ability to sustain intense concentration for extended periods, a hallmark of surgical practice, never ceases to amaze me. In the world of surgery, the body adapts to the demands of the operating table, eschewing rest or sustenance in favor of unwavering focus. It's a testament to the remarkable capacity of the human mind to override physical limitations in pursuit of a greater purpose. Such adaptability is perhaps unparalleled in any other profession, underscoring the singular dedication required of those who wield the scalpel. Yet, amidst the technical precision and procedural proficiency, it's essential to remember the human element at the heart of every surgical intervention. Patients, grappling with fear and uncertainty, often seek solace in alternative treatments or second opinions. Navigating this maze of misinformation with empathy and clarity is integral to ensuring informed decision-making and mitigating unnecessary anxiety. In countries like ours, where healthcare access is often constrained by financial considerations, the decision to undergo surgery carries added weight. The economic burden of hospitalization, coupled with a lack of understanding regarding surgical outcomes, compounds the anxiety faced by patients and their families. As surgeons, we are not only technicians but also counselors, guiding patients and their loved ones through the complex terrain of medical decision-making. It's a role that demands compassion, communication, and a deep commitment to ensuring the well-being of those under our care. Ultimately, the practice of surgery is as much about skillful hands as it is about compassionate hearts. Each procedure is imbued with the weight of responsibility, reminding us of the trust placed in our hands and the profound impact of our actions on the lives of others. It's a journey marked by challenges and triumphs, guided by a singular purpose: to heal, to alleviate suffering, and to restore hope in the face of adversity.

there is infinite need for
betterment”
For a surgeon, the wisdom encapsulated in the above quote always resonates
deeply. Over five decades of my practice have illuminated the supreme
importance of infinite learning and refinement in the medical profession. I
realized that as doctors we need to keep on practicing throughout our lives
to hone our skills, this is more than just being in touch with human
anatomy.
Let’s say it is a cornerstone of our profession. I have understood that it is not merely about being in touch with human anatomy; rather, it's a relentless pursuit of excellence driven by a passionate commitment to a patient's well-being. Indeed, the dedication of curing and treating patients at the earliest possible opportunity occupies the forefront of every doctor's mind. This attentive care compels us to micro-plan and execute a multipronged approach to treatment, leveraging every available resource. Yet, beyond the meticulous planning and clinical execution lie challenges unique to the life of a surgeon. Each surgical procedure is a distinct and critical endeavor, laden with its own set of complexities and uncertainties. The weight of responsibility can be staggering, engendering an intense sense of stress and apprehension both before and after the operation. There could also be pre-operative anxiety in surgeons. The toll exacted by the demands of our profession extends beyond the physical realm, delving into the depths of emotional and psychological exhaustion. In my own experience, I've discovered a coping mechanism that has proven invaluable in managing stress: detachment. I try to detach myself from the emotional act of surgery itself, the aim being to take away ‘me’ from my conscious mind. This helps in achieving mental equilibrium and helps perform better as a doctor. This deliberate detachment has empowered me to approach each procedure with a clear and focused mindset. By removing the 'me' from the equation, we create space for the unfettered application of clinical expertise and technical proficiency. In essence, the art of surgical practice is a delicate balancing act, requiring equal measures of skill, compassion, and resilience. That shows how determined people are in the medical field, where the quest for excellence knows no limits and patients' health is always our first concern. But we are all doctors, stress, stress management, and our own mental well-being matters for it reflects directly on our patience.
Read More“With great curiosity comes great responsibility. “ Embarking on the surgical journey entails not only a personal milestone but also a profound responsibility towards patients and their families. The first surgery marks of crucially important moment for surgeons, where meticulous preparation and effective communication are vital to ensure optimal outcomes.
Pre-operative anxiety management plays a crucial role in preparing both the surgeon and the patient for the upcoming procedure. Acknowledging the natural uneasiness surrounding surgery, surgeons must foster an environment of trust and reassurance. Clear and empathetic communication with the patient and their family goes beyond simply relaying information. Actively listening to their concerns, addressing their fears compassionately, and outlining the surgical plan in clear, understandable language can alleviate anxieties and instill confidence not just in the patient, but also in the surgical team. A calm and informed patient is more likely to cooperate during the procedure, leading to a smoother operation and potentially better outcomes. The most important part of successful surgery lies in effective communication within the surgical team. From the assistant surgeon to the anesthetist, each member plays a vital role in the seamless execution of the operation. Prior to the surgery, comprehensive briefings ensure that every team member is well-informed about their roles and responsibilities, thus minimizing the risk of errors. Post-operative care is equally essential for surgeons to monitor the patient's recovery closely. Regular follow-up appointments and clear communication with the patient and their family provide reassurance and support during the healing process. For patients undergoing procedures such as Groin Hernia surgery, understanding the importance of post-operative care and lifestyle modifications is crucial for long-term recovery and prevention of recurrence. In addition to technical proficiency, surgeons must also prioritize emotional intelligence and empathy during the first surgery. Managing emotions, building trust, and ensuring successful outcomes require a delicate balance of clinical expertise and compassionate care. Practical tips for surgeons include practicing mindfulness techniques to manage stress, actively listening to patient's concerns, and fostering a culture of transparency and collaboration within the surgical team. In conclusion, the first surgery for surgeons signifies not only a professional milestone but also a profound commitment to patient care. By prioritizing effective communication, emotional intelligence, and comprehensive post-operative care, surgeons can navigate the challenges of the inaugural surgery with confidence and compassion, thus laying the foundation for a successful surgical career.
