Patient Experience
As a 41-year-old with family cancer history, Dr. Dixit's low-dose lung CT screening detected a 4mm ground-glass opacity. Her consistent follow-up over three years caught early adenocarcinoma transformation, enabling curative sublobar resection.
During my husband's emergency appendicitis CT, Dr. Dixit incidentally noted early signs of appendiceal cancer. Her vigilance turned a routine scan into life-saving early cancer diagnosis and appropriate surgical planning.
A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from rural Bihar, who had never undergone any surgery before, presented with end-stage renal disease due to uncontrolled hypertension. Dr. Mukhopadhyay coordinated a living donor transplant from her granddaughter, incorporating Ayurvedic post-operative care alongside conventional immunosuppressants, resulting in a 5-year graft survival with minimal complications.
A 19-year-old aspiring cricketer from an affluent Delhi family suffered traumatic bladder rupture during a match. Dr. Mukhopadhyay performed an innovative robotic bladder reconstruction using bioengineered tissue scaffolds, enabling the athlete to return to professional sports within 8 months with preserved urinary function.
A 45-year-old Tibetan refugee with no family support required a combined liver-kidney transplant due to congenital polycystic disease. Dr. Mukhopadhyay secured rare donor organs through an international registry and implemented a novel tolerance induction protocol, allowing reduced lifelong immunosuppression and full rehabilitation within 18 months.
An 8-year-old girl from a low-income family in Uttar Pradesh presented with prune belly syndrome and renal failure. Dr. Mukhopadhyay led a pro bono multidisciplinary team performing simultaneous abdominal wall reconstruction and pediatric kidney transplant, using a parental donor, with the child achieving normal developmental milestones post-recovery.
A 33-year-old transgender woman from Mumbai sought gender-affirming vaginoplasty but had complex urological anomalies. Dr. Mukhopadhyay designed a customized intestinal segment vaginoplasty while preserving urinary continence, collaborating with endocrinologists to optimize hormonal therapy throughout the 14-month staged reconstruction.
A 58-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant with diabetes and chronic UTIs developed emphysematous cystitis. Dr. Mukhopadhyay employed hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with minimally invasive bladder debridement, avoiding major surgery and achieving complete resolution in 6 weeks despite language barriers.
A 27-year-old software engineer from Bangalore presented with rare renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia causing malignant hypertension. Dr. Mukhopadhyay performed robot-assisted autotransplantation with ex vivo vessel reconstruction, preserving the kidney and eliminating hypertension medication dependence after 3 months.
A 22-year-old medical student from Kerala donated a kidney to her unrelated mentor. Dr. Mukhopadhyay established India's first paired emotional donor transplant protocol, addressing unique psychological aspects of non-familial donation while achieving excellent outcomes for both individuals.
