From Research To Clinical Practice
Academic research and clinical practice are closely connected in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Published evidence provides an important foundation for understanding surgical techniques, patient selection, expected outcomes and potential complications.
Prof. (Dr.) Souvik Adhikari combines published evidence with individual clinical assessment when planning treatment. Surgical decisions are tailored to each patient’s anatomy, functional requirements, concerns and realistic expectations rather than applying a single technique universally.
