Operation frontoethmoidocele





























































Finally after long planning and arrangements this kid underwent surgery. Bicoronal craniotomy was done . dural adhesions to underlying bony surface was removed and anteriorly at the skull base dural defect was detected which was localised and finely demarcated . The big dural defect was sealed by fascia lata graft. Now she will have second stage plastic surgery to correct the facial defect.

Busy days on and still counting

For almost a month its been a busy schedule . Lots been happening around myself and the world. My work load has crossed beyond my capacity and I am accelerating and matching the speed of Ushain Bolt to be in the track. Concentration, judgement, analysis are the core abilities plus the stamina is the key to a surgeons success. Well no doubt focus is on..
Skills are learned no question sooner or later but the issue is whether or not its perfect and ideal . My theory is you watch learn and do yourself. No fear is the key to learning at the initial stages . Knife is in your hand and you can use it indiscrimiately, you have a license to use . But its not butchery but surgery that is what expected from doctor.
Who is a good surgeon ? One who performs surgeries well. Who is a better surgoen ? One who knows when to perform surgery.Who is the best surgeon? One who knows when not to perform surgery. Obviously all can peform surgeries but everyone not the best.
