Patient Experience
A 72-year-old retired fisherman from a coastal village presented with a strangulated umbilical hernia after years of neglecting a small bulge. Dr. Bansal performed emergency surgery, discovering necrotic bowel requiring resection. The patient's recovery was complicated by malnutrition, requiring extended nutritional support, but he returned to mending nets within 3 months with follow-up care.

Dr. Bansal meticulously repaired the damage under microscope guidance, preventing vascular compromise. She made a full recovery with minimal scarring after 6 weeks, returning to sports with protective gear.
A 45-year-old construction worker with uncontrolled diabetes developed a severe perianal abscess. Dr. Bansal performed incision and drainage, managing the patient's glycemic levels perioperatively. The wound required daily dressing changes for a month, with the patient's wife diligently assisting, leading to complete healing without recurrence.
A 31-year-old software engineer presented with acute appendicitis while 28 weeks pregnant.

Both mother and baby recovered well, with delivery occurring normally at term.

An 18-year-old college student from a low-income family presented with a neglected pilonidal sinus that had become infected.
