There is a huge gap between healthcare services in the west and our part of the world.
However, there is one specialization where doctors in the Indian subcontinent & the South
East Asia are much more capable than their counterparts in the Americas or Europe –
complex anorectal surgeries. Western countries thrive on innovation and most of the
breakthrough advancements have come from them. What comes, as a surprise is that when it
comes to treatment of rectal problems, we are better equipped and more advanced than they
are.
Rectal problems, as much as we are not willing to confess, are common in this part of the
globe. They can range from itching and bleeding to more complex problems such as Piles,
Fissures or Fistulas which can be painful. Such is the tale of 34 year old Amit (name
changed), a UK citizen with roots in Mumbai. Amit had undergone numerous treatments &
surgeries by specialist surgeon for anal fistula in UK, but to no avail. Devoid of any options
he decided to come back to the city of his birth and resume his search for a life free from pain
& suffering. Similar is the story of another software engineer from the US who after
numerous surgeries in the US was given no alternative than living with his current situation.
Fed up from the lack of treatment, this gentleman flew back to India, literally came standing
on the flight to Mumbai, to search for a cure. Both ended up with Dr. Parvez Sheikh,
Colorectal Surgeon at Nova Specialty Hospitals. These 2 represent the typical pattern of
patients that Dr. Sheikh deals with in his practice - patients who were not cured from
previous surgeries. Amit was operated over a year ago and till date he has not complained of
any recurrence of any kind. Similarly, the software engineer could take a comfortable plane
ride back home -sitting on his seat - and has been never complained of any semblance to the
pain he endured before.
India is fast emerging as an International hub for seeking medical treatment - because not
only the treatment costs are much less than the west, but also more important because the
standard to treatment offered is on par with the best in the world. Many patients like Amit
come here because they are unable to receive a satisfactory solution in a first world country.
Patients with anal problems in India usually seek treatment from quacks, because they feel
shy to discuss their problems with their family members & try to seek an anonymous cure.
The result of this is that we have mushrooming clinics run by unqualified “doctors”, who
opening advertise their services in railway compartments, railway stations & through posters
across the city. These unregulated clinics are responsible for creating a lot of complications &
give rise to the consequent common myths associated with rectal surgeries, which include
myths like the rectal problem recurring after surgery, one losing control while passing stools,

2. presence of severe pain after surgery & that one cannot eat normal food after surgery. All
these myths are unfounded provided one gets treatment from a specialist doctor. The newer
surgical techniques enable these problems to be treated as day care procedures & enabling the
patient to return to their normal life in a few days.
