Regular Member Vamdev Posted March 13 Regular Member Share Posted March 13 Hi , I had an online consultation with Dr. Das and require around 5500-6000 grafts for my Norwood 6 type. Due to logistics reasons, I m thinking to get it done by Dr. Somesh in Hyderabad this month but he has got only 2 days capacity beyond that he has to go back to Gurgaon. But the Patient consultant is saying that they will push it to get it done within 2 days. I m not sure if this is right in terms of expectations and I have seen similar cases around 5500 grafts have been distributed for 3 days work. Can anyone help me in this situation to make my decision and also please break it down what each day briefly the doctors or technicians do, so that will give me an idea where I stand. Many thanks.

Regular Member Vamdev Posted March 13 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 13 I don't get that . I understand Dr. Somesh is good at his job. But my question is 'Is it doable 6000 grafts in 2 days or is there any issue health wise ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my question is 'Is it doable 6000 grafts in 2 days or is there any issue health wise ? It’s perfectly doable, but it leaves little room for the unexpected. For example, it’s not uncommon for patients to ooze quite a lot during surgery, which can slow things down. My first surgery was only 2762 grafts but took two days as I oozed a lot on day one. If I’d had needed 6,000 grafts, it’s possible that it could have ran into a third day. You might be better off giving yourself more leeway by looking at different dates or by going to Delhi instead. Of course, you could well be totally fine with two days but these things are worth considering in advance regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think travelling to Delhi would be a better idea, because that's their main base. On the other hand, two days might be completely enough. But sometimes complications can arise in a surgery 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 (𝐃𝐫.𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐡) | 𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟑𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐬 | 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 | 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝗕𝘆 𝗘𝘂𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Stewie Posted March 15 Regular Member Share Posted March 15 If it goes into a third day and you end up with another Dr taking care of you, the main hard work in terms of slits etc has taken place at that point, and its more on the rest of the team to do the work and have the Dr oversee it at that point. I think either option sounds good, but I would think you would more than likely run into 3 days for sure 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
