Speaking about her journey, Dr Kiran said: "As you are aware, I am a Laparoscopic surgeon. Recently there is a new technique of doing Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) without any scars by using the laparoscope through the vagina (VNOTES Surgery) - a SCARLESS surgery. It is being done in the Europe, US, and very few places in India as well. Currently, I am the only one who is trained and certified and offering this surgery in the UAE and have performed 25 successful surgeries till now.
Anamika Mohan Saha :
After meeting Dr Kiran for the first time, I felt very comfortable and confident that I am in good hands. She proved it true when she conducted the VNOTES (SCARLESS) Hysterectomy on me. I recovered from the surgery very fast and with minimal pain even though I was back to my regular home duties within a few days after the surgery. She also clarified all my pre and post-operative clarifications and followed up till my complete recovery. I am indeed indebted to her and would recommend her without any doubt.
Aileen Pelagio:
I'm so glad and grateful that I found Dr Kiran, who is an expert in her profession with a caring hands and heart for her patients. I had Myoma that caused bleeding that lasted eight months and became worse because I was afraid of going through surgery. Only then did I decide to search for an expert to ease my issue and found out about Dr Kiran through a recommendation through Dr. Amor Romero. I loved how Dr Kiran took the time to explain my conditions and the treatment options until I was convinced. Finally, my husband and I came up with the decision to remove my uterus and cervix. I went through surgery, an unbelievable major SCARLESS (VNOTES) surgery. Honestly, I had a quick recovery, I didn't feel much pain, and I didn't even use the pain reliever that they gave me. With proper care, I was able to do my usual routine at home with precautions of avoiding bending and lifting, and on the 15th day, I started going back to work. I'm very impressed with the overall experience and would highly recommend her to anyone.
