Patient Experience
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.
A 19-year-old aspiring classical dancer from Delhi developed chronic appendicitis with atypical symptoms that multiple doctors had misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal issues.

Both mother and baby recovered completely, with the delivery occurring normally at term.
A 68-year-old retired army officer with Parkinson's disease required complex ventral hernia repair. Dr. Chauhan developed a multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists and anesthesiologists, used mesh reinforcement with absorbable sutures to account for tremors, and created a tremor-friendly recovery protocol that accommodated the patient's neurological condition.
A 26-year-old software engineer from Bangalore developed a rare splenic artery aneurysm detected incidentally during a routine health check. Dr. Chauhan performed embolization via minimally invasive vascular techniques, preserving splenic function while eliminating the aneurysm risk, and allowed the patient to resume work remotely within four days.

A 79-year-old grandmother with dementia from a joint family presented with bowel obstruction from adhesions.
