Awards
- Contributed widely for research projects. Notable among them are:
- Role of octreotide in lower G.I.bleed: A preliminary report of a prospective randomized study. The results of the research was – Octreotide reduces the blood loss, number of bleeding episodes and time taken for the bleeding to stop
- Diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography in advanced carcinoma gall bladder. The research results were -CECT is sensitive in detecting liver infiltration and lymph node involvement. It is specific in identifying liver metastasis, biliary infiltration. CECT is less specific for lymph node involvement.
- Recipient of Dr.Mahadevan’s award that was given by the Karnataka state Chapter of Association of surgeon of India. This award was issued at for the paper on surgical management of Portal hypertension.
