Patient Experience
A 28-year-old female software engineer from a middle-class family presented with acute appendicitis. Dr. Mahapatra performed a laparoscopic appendectomy with minimal scarring. She returned to work within a week with no complications, appreciating the modern surgical approach.
A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from a rural village underwent emergency surgery for a strangulated hernia that had been neglected due to financial constraints. Dr. Mahapatra arranged for hospital financial aid and performed successful open hernia repair. The patient recovered fully over six weeks with support from his grandchildren.
An 8-year-old boy from an affluent family required surgery after swallowing a small battery. Dr. Mahapatra performed an urgent endoscopic removal, preventing serious tissue damage. The child was discharged the next day with no lasting effects, much to his relieved parents' gratitude.
A 45-year-old construction worker with diabetes presented with a severely infected diabetic foot ulcer. Dr. Mahapatra performed debridement and reconstructive surgery, coordinating with the endocrinology team for comprehensive care. The patient's foot was saved after three months of careful wound management.
A 33-year-old pregnant woman in her second trimester developed acute cholecystitis. Dr. Mahapatra carefully timed and performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with obstetric team support. Both mother and baby remained healthy throughout, with delivery occurring normally at term.
A 60-year-old fisherman with no previous medical history presented with a rare desmoid tumor in his abdominal wall. Dr. Mahapatra performed complete surgical excision with clear margins. The patient returned to fishing after two months with no recurrence at one-year follow-up.
A 19-year-old college athlete suffered a traumatic splenic injury during a football match. Dr. Mahapatra successfully performed spleen-preserving surgery rather than splenectomy, allowing the student to maintain immune function and eventually return to sports after three months of recovery.
A 50-year-old street vendor with limited literacy presented with advanced thyroid cancer that had been ignored due to fear of surgery.

The vendor returned to work six weeks later with good prognosis.
A 67-year-old widow living alone developed a complex incisional hernia at her previous surgery site. Dr. Mahapatra used mesh repair technique and coordinated with social services for home care during recovery. The patient regained full independence after eight weeks of gradual rehabilitation.
A 12-year-old girl from an tribal community required surgery for congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis that had gone undiagnosed. Dr. Mahapatra performed a minimally invasive procedure and worked with local health workers to ensure follow-up care. The child showed dramatic improvement in nutrition and growth within weeks.
A 41-year-old restaurant owner presented with hemorrhoids that had failed conservative treatment. Dr. Mahapatra performed stapled hemorrhoidopexy instead of conventional hemorrhoidectomy, resulting in significantly less pain and faster recovery. The patient returned to managing his business within days rather than weeks.
A 55-year-old bank manager with high-stress lifestyle developed a symptomatic gallstone pancreatitis. Dr. Mahapatra managed the acute phase medically before performing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient adopted lifestyle changes during recovery and remained symptom-free at six-month follow-up.
A 30-year-old woman with morbid obesity sought consultation for weight loss surgery. After comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Mahapatra performed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
