ABOUT US
I Dr Devendra Mahadik have been working as a CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgeon for last 20 years in Surat In fact immediately after qualifying from PostGraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research Chandigarh I settled in Surat My aim was to provide services of my speciality to people of Surat as they were almost nonexistant at that time I developed my speciality in all trust hospitals of Surat and concentrated more on Shri Mahavir General hospital where I started Open Heart Surgery Programme in the year 1986 Our unit was first of its kind between Baroda to Bombay

We did many operations for the first time in Gujarat ie1st Mitral Valve Replacement and 1st Total Correction for tetralogy of fallot We have developed a good team work with a view to provide roundtheclock service to all operated patients From time to time We have organized diagnostic and cardiac surgical camps at Shri Mahavir General Hospital In January 1999 We invited an American Team from Bloomington Illinois USA lead by Dr Brad smith

Together we performed 22 operations on needy patients with 100 success Incidentally that was the time when Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery was performed for the first time in Surat For doing Cardiac Surgery our emphasis is on case selection choice of procedure and excellent myocardial protection during surgery Of course all patients are given individual post operative care to ensure high success rate

Our septal superior approach for exposure of Mitral Valve and warm antegrade followed by retrograde cardiplegia offers excellent operative conditions for surgeon to do difficult Mitral Valve Repairs or Replacement

We have devised a perfect dependable technique to test the repaired Mitral Valve with left atrium still open In fact we have achieved leak proof repairs due to this technique For smaller children with patent ductus arteriosus our approach of Transaxillary closure of ductus using mini thoracotomy has been widely appreciated by surgeons in this country and this has been accepted by paediatricians who now refer PDA patients at an early age

The advantages of our technique are small cosmetic scar hidden in axilla short hospital stay and very little post operative pain In keeping with changing times we strive to keep surgeries safe short effective and least traumatic to the patients So that patients are up and about in few days after surgery
