Hello, could you please provide me with the address and contact number for Dr. vikram D kekatpure doctor’s clinic? I’d like to schedule an appointment.”

Namaste Vijay ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern.

When you mention “Big Tromma” in your mouth for the last 10 years, it’s possible that you’re referring to a tumour or a chronic growth. Any long-standing lump, swelling, or lesion in the mouth—especially for such a long duration—must be evaluated by a specialist without delay.

🔍 Here’s what we recommend:

• Consult an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon or ENT specialist at the earliest. They can examine the area thoroughly.
• A biopsy or scan (like an MRI or CT) might be advised to understand the nature of the growth—whether it's benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
• Treatment will depend on the diagnosis:
  

  Benign tumours can often be surgically removed.
  If it’s a malignant tumour, a combination of surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy may be needed.

🛑 Important Tips:

• Do not ignore persistent mouth swellings, especially if they are growing, painful, ulcerated, or bleeding.
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol if you use them, as they can worsen oral conditions.
• Maintain good oral hygiene and a healthy diet to support healing and prevention.
• Feel free to connect with us if you wish to consult with the oncologist or specialists for your treatment.

Hello Vijay Ji,

Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a highly advanced, noninvasive procedure used to treat brain conditions such as tumours, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and certain neurological disorders like trigeminal neuralgia. Despite its name, it is not a surgical procedure in the traditional sense—there’s no incision, no general anesthesia, and minimal recovery time.

How It Works:

• The procedure uses precisely focused beams of gamma radiation to target abnormal brain tissue while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

• A specialized head frame or mask is used to ensure accuracy.

• The treatment is typically completed in a single session, lasting a few hours.

• Patients remain awake throughout, though mild sedation may be given for comfort.

Benefits:

✅ No incisions, stitches, or hospital stay required
✅ Minimal side effects compared to traditional surgery
✅ High precision targeting, reducing damage to surrounding tissue
✅ Quick recovery—most patients resume daily activities within a day or two

Possible Side Effects:

Some patients may experience mild headaches, temporary fatigue, or swelling in the treated area. Serious complications are rare.

If you’re considering Gamma Knife treatment, we recommend consulting a specialist to determine if it's the right option for your condition.
