Dr. Hitender Singh Chauhan

A 19-year-old aspiring classical dancer from Delhi developed chronic appendicitis with atypical symptoms that multiple doctors had misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal issues. Dr. Chauhan identified the problem through diagnostic laparoscopy and performed a scarless transumbilical appendectomy, preserving her abdominal aesthetics and allowing her to resume dancing within two weeks without visible scarring.

A 42-year-old Tibetan refugee running a small tea stall presented with a complex gallbladder condition complicated by previous untreated liver abscess. Dr. Chauhan adapted his minimally invasive approach to navigate the adhesions, performed cholecystectomy without converting to open surgery, and coordinated with hospital administration to subsidize the procedure through their charitable wing.

A 57-year-old corporate executive from Gurugram with multiple comorbidities including diabetes and hypertension needed emergency surgery for a perforated duodenal ulcer. Dr. Chauhan utilized robotic-assisted laparoscopic repair, managing the metabolic challenges throughout the procedure, and implemented an accelerated recovery protocol that had the patient conducting virtual board meetings from his hospital bed on day three.

An 8-year-old boy from a low-income family presented with an unusual congenital diaphragmatic hernia discovered during a school health camp. Dr. Chauhan performed thoracoscopic repair using pediatric-specific instruments, coordinated with the hospital's charity fund to cover costs, and arranged for the child's postoperative care including nutritional support and educational assistance.

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from rural Haryana presented with an incarcerated umbilical hernia that had been neglected for three days due to transportation issues. Dr. Chauhan performed emergency laparoscopic hernia repair using a novel single-port technique he developed, allowing the patient to walk within hours and return to her village after 48 hours, where she now teaches local women about early medical intervention.
