Srinagar, Sept 20: Doctors of Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals on Friday said they have brought innovative techniques in plastic surgery and oncology to Kashmir saying ‘cancer is no longer a death call and people don’t die of it anymore.’
While highlighting monumental advances in plastic surgery, oncology, Dr. Shahin Nooreyezdan, Senior Consultant of Cosmetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, in a press conference elaborated ethical standards, safety protocols and leading-edge techniques adopted by expert plastic surgeons.
He emphasized how modern procedures are helping patients enhance their physical appearance, restore functionality after injuries and improve their overall quality of life.
Dr. Sameer Kaul, Senior Consultant of Surgical Oncology and Robotics shared insights into the latest oncological treatments being offered at Indraprastha Apollo.
He discussed how the integration of advanced surgical techniques with innovative oncology practices is significantly improving patient outcomes.
Over the past year, the hospital witnessed some challenging cases of cosmetic and plastic surgery and provided treatment via the advanced medical facilities available at the hospital.
Dr. Shahin said the goal at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals is to blend art with science in plastic and cosmetic surgery. “We strive not only to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing results but also to improve our patient’s overall well-being,” he said.
By employing the latest technologies and surgical techniques, he said they ensure that patients receive the highest standard of care with minimal recovery time.
“Whether it’s reconstructive surgery after trauma or cosmetic enhancements, our focus is on delivering results that align with each patient’s individual needs and aspirations.”
Dr. Sameer while elaborating on the pioneering work in cancer care said, “Cancer is no longer a death call. Not to say that people don’t die of it anymore. They do, but much fewer numbers now. Huge strides have been made in this direction. Prevention, screening, early diagnosis, molecular and personalised treatments, Robotic surgery, precise Radiation, Targeted and Immunotherapy have changed the paradigm.”
He said advanced cancers certainly live better and longer now. “No reason why these fruits of research and innovations should not reach the needy no matter where they live. Ensuring access to top-class treatment is our mission. Governments, Corporations and Individuals must use Medical insurance for everyone.”
