Professional Experience

Senior Resident – Plastic Surgery

Chengalpattu Government Medical College & Hospital

Jan 2023 – Jan 2026

• Reconstructive Microsurgery

• Hand & Peripheral Nerve

• Acute Burns

• Oncoplastic Breast

• Managed high-acuity hand trauma, degloving injuries, and compound limb fractures in emergency and elective settings, including zone-specific flexor–extensor tendon repairs, digital nerve neurolysis/neurorrhaphy, and primary or delayed soft-tissue coverage.

• Assisted in microvascular free tissue transfer (anterolateral thigh, radial forearm, and other donor systems) with end-to-end/end-to-side arterial/venous anastomoses using 9-0/10-0 nylon under operative microscope; participated in flap inset, pedicle orientation, and postoperative monitoring protocols.

• Independently performed split-thickness skin grafting (STSG), full-thickness graft harvest, post-burn contracture release, Z-plasty and multiplanar release, and selected pedicled fasciocutaneous and musculocutaneous flaps for locoregional reconstruction.

• Managed acute thermal burns (partial- and full-thickness), escharotomy/fasciotomy indications, tangential excision, biological dressings, and staged correction of post-burn flexion/extension contractures with splinting and physiotherapy liaison.

• Routinely applied negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT/VAC), serial wound débridement, wound bed granulation optimization, and delayed primary closure or flap coverage of contaminated soft-tissue defects and exposed orthopaedic hardware.

• Participated in oncoplastic breast procedures, chest wall resection reconstruction, and multidisciplinary tumor board–directed oncologic resection planning in a government tertiary oncology-referral setting.

• Delivered resident-level didactics, operative assisting, and case-based teaching; contributed to prospective clinical research with abstract submission and podium presentation at national plastic surgery conferences.

Senior Resident – General Surgery

ASCOMS, Jammu

May 2018 – July 2021

• General Surgery

• Laparoscopy

• Emergency Trauma

• Academic Surgery

• Managed elective and emergency general surgical admissions including acute abdomen, small-bowel obstruction, perforation peritonitis, incarcerated hernia, and postoperative ileus or anastomotic leak workup in a high-volume unit.

• Performed open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, tension-free mesh and tissue-based hernia repair, exploratory laparotomy, bowel resection with stapled/hand-sewn anastomosis, and drainage of intra-abdominal collections.

• Participated in trauma laparotomy, damage-control surgery (abbreviated laparotomy, temporary abdominal closure), massive transfusion protocol activation, and perioperative resuscitation for hemodynamically unstable surgical patients.

• Gained experience in central venous access, nasogastric decompression, perioperative anticoagulation bridging decisions, and postoperative DVT prophylaxis in surgical inpatients.

• Conducted clinical research on surgical site infection (SSI) risk stratification, preoperative anemia as a modifiable perioperative factor, and incisional hernia recurrence profile with laparoscopic and open retromuscular/preperitoneal mesh repair techniques.
