Urologist’s Research to be presented in US

• DNA RNA Research & Archives

Pune: City-based urologist Dr Suresh Patankar has conducted a research on ‘Kidney Stone and Wound Healing’, which he will present at the American Urological Conference at Orlando City, USA on May 17, addressing about 10,000 urologists from the world over. The research is now in the final stages. It includes a study on treating small kidney stones, detecting them at the early stage and reducing chances of their recurrence.
Dr Patankar, who is also the founder of Ace Hospital and Research Centre, said the research is based on Ayurvedic concepts but has been being conducted using modern scientific methods. He believes this will change the outlook of modern practitioners towards Ayurveda.
He said kidney stone in urology, and wound healing in all surgical procedures are common problems and need to be studied in detail. “A lot of new surgical treatments are available to remove kidney stones with minimum damage and pain to the patient. These treatments are being carried out by our hospital for the last 30 years. However, we have observed that for small-sized stones no satisfactory treatment is available. We are working on that,” he said. All small stones eventually become large and require medical attention. Also, kidney stones are a recurring problem. Dr Patankar and his team are also researching methods of treating kidney stone in the early stages.
The second part of the research concentrates on wound healing. In certain surgeries, if the wound does not heal properly, it may lead to complications in the surgery or to its failure. Dr Patankar has found a regenerative formula, which promotes proper and faster wound healing with less scaring. This research has been accepted by the scientific community after clinical studies were conducted on human beings.

It was decided earlier, his vacation (of the chief doctor), who happens to be a veteran in treating Back pain cases here in Trichy. It has happened before and without saying anything he usually asks me to take his place. Every time he gives some challenges and raises the bar, so you gotta learn everytime to be in his good books. This time around he put forward a rather "invincible" task of admitting 10 in-patients. 10 in 5, admitting patients in an ayurvedic hospital is a "coaxing'', given that unlike allopathy, ayurvedic treatments are optional, they could manage with pain killers ! But only when they reach that cliff of going for a surgery( these patients bargain with their health ! ) OR no relief with pain killers that they opt for Ayurvedic treatments. Couln't you treat it for less ? Is your health of that much value to you ? You are able to satisfy your logic in spending LAKHS for surgey to end up in disdain, but spending 1/3 rd of that amount for a long lasting relief life changing palliative treatment looks less attractive to you ! Everything in our life comes at a cost other than GODS GRACE ! You do good or bad god treats you equally, he gives equal oppurtunities, only thing is wether you realise or not !

I have to admit patients, convince them, explain them, and treat to show them results. But this time around due to my previous long interaction with in-patients, consultation was less fussy. Given that I had enough of know-how to treat, I had some nervousness that shown by a beginner, it can become devastating, the patient stares into your eye as if for help and even the slightest of negativity in your approach sends opposite signals, so you gotta be steady, stable, cheerful. When you take the profession seriously, constantly interact with the seniors in the field, gather knowledge, update yourself, keep on trying, then everything falls into place, you dont even have to plan or think or try. A handful of cases to consult was an enriching experience in itself , useful for a life time ! I got a brief oppurtunity and I was prepared, hope oneday I will stand on my own !!!
