Dr. (Major) Anil Ayekpam

Our 8-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a malignant ovarian germ cell tumor. Major Ayekpam's compassionate approach with children is remarkable - he used toy models to explain the procedure to her. The fertility-sparing surgery was successful, and he coordinated beautifully with pediatric oncologists for her complete recovery.

At 72, I never expected to face tongue cancer. Major Ayekpam pioneered a revolutionary reconstruction technique using a forearm flap that restored both my speech and swallowing function. His team at Manipal Hospital provided exceptional post-op speech therapy, and I can now enjoy meals with my family again.

Emergency surgery at 2 AM for a perforated gastric cancer - Major Ayekpam rushed to the hospital and performed life-saving intervention. His calm demeanor during the crisis reassured our entire family. The follow-up care was equally meticulous, with daily personal check-ins during recovery.

As a professional athlete at 31, a sarcoma diagnosis threatened my career. Major Ayekpam designed a limb-salvage procedure that removed the tumor while preserving muscle function. Six months later, I'm back to training with minimal performance impact - something I was told would be impossible.

As a 28-year-old software engineer diagnosed with a rare desmoid tumor in my abdomen, I was terrified of losing my active lifestyle. Major Anil Ayekpam not only performed a complex laparoscopic surgery that preserved all critical structures but explained every step with incredible patience. His minimally invasive approach had me back coding within three weeks, with barely visible scars.
