Dr Jayessh Kakar M.S (General Surgery)
CONSULTANT SURGEON & PODIATRIST
One of the pioneers in Diabetic Foot, Limb Salvage & Advanced Wound Care & Podiatry in India and especially Hyderabad, I follow the following saying :
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.” – Reinhold Neibuhr
No one modality or material works on its own, and the recognition of the time of intervention, the change in modality/material and use of the appropriate modality/material after constant review, is what helps wounds to heal.
The awareness of your treating doctor/caregiver to newer and appropriate modalities which may be useful in your case is important for the success of treatment.

Current practice

Not very comfortable with the corporate culture so prefer operating in smaller hospitals and Nursing Homes.
Dedicated area of work: (Prevention of amputation)
- Since 2001 have been actively involved in Advanced Wound Care and Salvage of The Diabetic foot. Maximum salvage of the foot is attempted, which includes preventing if possible toe loss or preventing loss of a major part of the foot.
- The aim behind this initiative is to prevent future foot problems in diabetic foot patients, because even a single toe amputation can over time lead to destabilization of the foot structure leading to further amputations and limb loss.

- Continue to contribute towards learning by regularly taking lectures at various medical associations and teaching programs for young doctors.
