Dr. Adhishwar Sharma — Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Adhishwar Sharma is a Consultant in Plastic Surgery at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute in Delhi NCR, with more than 28 years of experience. His profile carries cosmetic and plastic surgery together with reconstructive surgery.

The procedure list contains no aesthetic entries at all. Hand reconstruction, peripheral nerve repair and peripheral nerve injury repair head it, followed by free flap reconstruction and local flap reconstruction, skin grafting, contracture release, wound reconstruction, scar revision and correction, and post-cancer reconstruction. Chronic wound management and non-healing wound treatment complete it.

Two kinds of work dominate that list. The first is nerve and hand surgery, which is microsurgical and among the most technically demanding parts of the specialty. The second is wound work, both the surgical closure of a defect and the slower management of a wound that will not heal on its own.

His training matches both. He holds MBBS, MS in general surgery and an MCh in plastic and reconstructive surgery, with postgraduation at PGIMER in Chandigarh and a post-doctoral fellowship at Safdarjang Hospital under Delhi University. Two further fellowships were taken in Kochi: one in microvascular surgery and hand surgery at Specialist Hospital, and one in head and neck surgery at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences.

Microvascular and hand surgery is what free flap reconstruction and nerve repair require, and head and neck surgery is what post-cancer reconstruction in that region requires. He also practises at Fortis Hospital in Okhla, New Delhi.
