Cleft Lip and Palate Repair Delhi

My son had a swollen great toe. The problem started in 2012 when he was 19 yrs old. Thinking that it was due to some injury we ignored it and as it didn't cause him any inconvenience even he ignored it. Then in early 2013 it started increasing in size. We showed it to few general physicians & they also said it's an old injury & suggested applying iodex etc. We even went to few local quacks (pehelwans) who treat old injuries with their own concoctions. But things didn't improve. It finally came down to a situation where he couldn't wear shoes. As he was in college which was quite far off from our place & required travel by public transport he had to wear outsized shoes. In April we finally decided to get in touch with a surgeon. A friend recommended Dr. Rohit Krishna. I requested him for an appointment & he was gracious enough to see him the next day. He examined the toe & suggested surgery to remove the tumorous swelling. As the surgery would require my son to stay at home post operation till the wound fully heals it was decided to have it when the college closes for summer vacations. We again met Dr. Krishna in June & he agreed to do the procedure the next day. As it was a minor surger (for him) he booked a minor OT in a small hospital in Gurgaon. We reached there the next day at the designated time. Dr. Rohit took my son inside the OT while I waited outside. He told me in his reassuring manner, that it would take max 25-30 minutes. After I think 25 minutes Dr. Rohitis came out & told me that as explained as the tumour is all around the thumb, the exact words he used were, "circumferential tumour" the procedure would take more time than anticipated. I told him that he was the Boss & it was as he felt best. He smiled & in his reassuring manner told me that he had come out just to inform me beforehand about the extra time it would take so that I should not feel worried sitting outside & wonder. What was supposed to take half an hour took more than 2 hrs. Finally, he came out & took me in. My son's toe was completely bandaged. He then explained to me the extreme caution he had to take. "There are 2 veins on each side of the thumb carrying blood to the toe. It was impossible to save both of them, yet critical to save one & also completely remove the tumour." Though a layman but I could still fathom the patience & skill required to differentiate in that mass of flesh, blood, veins & tumored cells. Maybe it was not a Surgeon but a sculptor at work. He discharged my son immediately. The Dr & his patient shook hands. He took my address & said he would himself come for the dressing. He took the trouble of changing the dressing himself till he was assured that the wound had healed considerably to let the job be done by someone else. Have never seen such a caring doctor. I thank GOD & that friend of mine who put me across to not just an excellent surgeon but an even better human. The tumorous sample was sent for biopsy report & the testing lab took more than 15 days to give their report. When I took the report to Dr. Rohit Krishna, he himself was shocked. It was such a rare kind of tumour that 1 in 100,000,000 people could have it. It's because of Dr. Rohit Krishna that my son walks & even plays football.
