Some defects close with a graft. Others need tissue moved from elsewhere in the body with its blood supply reconnected under a microscope. This page explains what is available in Surat.

If you are travelling in from outside the city, send your reports on WhatsApp before the visit. Assessment, tests and, where it is possible, admission are then grouped into the same trip so that you are not asked to return repeatedly.

Dr. Ashutosh Shah is a Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeon (DNB) practising in Surat, Gujarat. The work covered by this site is reconstructive, which means restoring form and function after birth differences, burns, injury, cancer surgery, infection and chronic wounds.
Consultations are unhurried. You are told what the problem is, which options genuinely apply, what each involves, and what it will realistically achieve, including where an operation is not the right answer.
Reconstruction is priced by what the defect needs rather than by its name. A written estimate follows assessment and states what is included.
Referrals come from across south Gujarat, often from hospitals managing the original injury or cancer operation.
Each page below covers one kind of work at the Surat clinic, with the questions patients ask about it, the cost band and how to reach the team.
These are the questions asked most often before a reconstructive plan is agreed. If yours is not here, send it on WhatsApp and the team will reply, usually the same day.
Ask your question →A graft is skin moved without its own blood supply, which then takes from the wound bed. A flap carries its blood supply with it, so it can cover bone, tendon and implants that a graft cannot.
Often not. Scarred and healed areas can still be released, resurfaced or rebuilt, though the plan differs from early reconstruction. Assessment shows what is realistic in your case.
These are long operations because vessels are joined under a microscope, and they need close monitoring for the first few days afterwards. The likely duration and stay are explained before admission.
The donor site is closed directly or with a graft, and it leaves a scar. Which donor area suits you is chosen to keep the functional cost as low as possible, and it is discussed before surgery.
Reconstruction is often staged, with cover first and refinement later once tissues settle. The number of planned stages is set out at the start so you can plan work and finances.
Procedures done to restore function or to close a wound after injury, infection or cancer are usually considered for cover, subject to policy terms. Pre authorisation confirms the position in writing.
Blood supply, the state of the bone, infection, nerve function and general health all matter. Salvage is offered when the limb is likely to be useful, and that judgement follows examination and tests.
