+91-8860606766 | +91-9910655125About Dr. Sham Sunder Gaonkar [MD (Anaesthesia), DA]
Dr. Sham Sunder Gaonkar is Anaesthesiologist and Currently Working as Consultant - Anaesthesiology in the Anaesthesiology Department at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Andheri West, Mumbai, India.
He is having more than 37 years of experience in the field of anaesthesiology and pain management.
He has completed his MD (Anaesthesia) and DA from K.E.M. Hospital and Seth G.S. Medical College, Mumbai.
Profile Highlights :
- Dr. Gaonkar began his career as a lecturer at K.E.M. Hospital before establishing his anaesthesia practice, and he has been associated with Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital as a Consultant Anaesthesiologist for more than eight years. His areas of interest are regional anaesthesia and acute pain management in the intra-operative and post-operative periods, along with labour analgesia.
- He provides general anaesthesia for patients ranging from children to the elderly, regional anaesthesia for joint replacement and shoulder arthroscopy, total intravenous anaesthesia for scoliosis spine surgery with SSEP and MEP neuromonitoring, and epidural analgesia for labour, onco-surgery and trauma. Neuromonitoring during scoliosis surgery allows the surgical team to protect the spinal cord in real time, which requires an anaesthetic technique that does not suppress the nerve signals.
- At Kokilaben Hospital he has performed knee replacement and knee arthroscopy under femoral-sciatic nerve block for patients with low cardiac ejection fraction, total elbow replacement under interscalene brachial plexus block and two thumb reimplantations under brachial plexus block. Such regional techniques allow high-risk patients to avoid the strain of general anaesthesia on the heart.
- Dr. Gaonkar is an active teacher. He has run a regional anaesthesia teaching programme with visiting international faculty and live relay demonstrations, lectured on SSEP and MEP monitoring for scoliosis surgery at a CME at K.E.M. Hospital, taken part in debates on cervical plexus blocks and regional anaesthesia, and trained doctors and students from other hospitals in anaesthesia for MRI and CT scans. He consults in Hindi, English and Marathi.
