The Landmark Case

Gujarat's First Hand Transplant

In a first for the state, Dr. Patel and his team at Kiran Hospital, Surat performed Gujarat's first hand transplant, a feat of vascularised composite allotransplantation demanding the connection of bone, vessels, nerves and tendons under the microscope. Six patients have since received successful hand transplants under his care, as covered in regional and national press.

What Patients Say on Google

These are written by patients on Google, where the clinic cannot edit or remove them. That independence is the point, so read them there and judge for yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a plastic surgeon in Surat for a complex case?

Look for board certification (MCh in Plastic Surgery), fellowship training in microsurgery, and a full-time hospital-based practice. For complex reconstruction and Replantation, experience with microvascular surgery matters most. Outcomes vary by individual, so a personal consultation is the right first step.

Is hand transplant surgery available in Gujarat?

Yes. Gujarat's first hand transplant was performed in Surat, and Six successful hand transplants have been completed by the same surgical team to date. Candidacy depends on detailed medical evaluation.

What should I do if a finger or hand is amputated in an accident?

Wrap the amputated part in clean, moist gauze, seal it in a plastic bag, place the bag on ice (never directly on the part), and call the emergency line at 98980 38191 immediately. Replantation is time-critical; earlier surgery improves the chance of success.

Which cosmetic surgeries are available at the clinic?

Rhinoplasty, liposuction, gynecomastia correction, breast surgery, facelift and eyelid surgery, body contouring and hair transplant, among others. Each procedure begins with a consultation to assess suitability and set realistic expectations.

How do I book a consultation, and what are the OPD hours?

Call or WhatsApp 98980 38191 to book. OPD consultations run 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday. The hospital itself is staffed around the clock, and the emergency replantation line is answered at any hour. NRI and outstation patients can request a video consultation first.
