This was made good with the setting up of a lab with standards as good as abroad. This has emerged as a popular training lab in the world. 1339 Surgeons from 70 countries and 136 cities in India have been trained in the lab. Many trainees have gone back to their respective places and did the first Microsurgical Flaps and Replantations in their ment of Dr Robert D Acland, Louisville, USA, the pioneer in Microsurgery on his visit to the Microsurgery Lab at Ganga Hospital, February 2006.“I am so happy to be here in your new United Nations of Microsurgical progress and education. This feels the same, in terms of energy and excitement as Louisville in the 70’s, or Ljubjena in the 80’s.

This article created tremendous enthusiasm among the trainees around the world to visit the centre. Creation of Paid Fellowships for training in Hand and Reconstructive Micro SurgeryDr S Raja Sabapathy took efforts to institute Fellowships for training younger surgeons in the field of Hand and Microsurgery. This was in collaboration with industry leaders in the field. These paid Fellowships attract quality surgeons towards the field and has greatly changed the scenario of Hand and Microsurgery training in the country. These fellowships are the first of their kind and are most sought after by candidates completing M Ch training in Plastic Surgery. This Fellowship enables middle level senior people in public hospitals and teaching institutions to spend 8 weeks at Ganga Hospital learning the protocols of management of different problems. In turn it is hoped that the trainees will impart the knowledge gained to their students. The first of this is Ganga Hospital – Johnson & Johnson Fellowship in Hand and Reconstructive MicrosurgeryMr. William Dearstyne, Company Group Chairman, Johnson & Johnson visited the Hospital on 5th March 2002. During the presentation of the work of the departments of the Hospital it was suggested that paid fellowships as available abroad will encourage the faster spread of Reconstructive Microsurgery. The advantage of its application in Hand Surgery and Trauma reconstruction and its need in India was stressed. Mr. Dearstyne was impressed of the potential of Ganga Hospital for such collaborative effort. As a follow-up of the visit, two Fellowships were set up. Each Fellowship is of the value of Rs 25,000. Now it hast been upgraded to Rs 37,500. Johnson & Johnson provide the funding and the Ganga Hospital provides the training. The selected candidates spend 6 to 8 weeks at Ganga Hospital and they take part in all clinical and academic activities of the unit. They also undertake the weeklong Microsurgery laboratory course at the Ganga Microsurgery Training Institute. We had an overwhelming response when the applications were called for vindicating the concept with which we set the fellowship.

He was responsible for training many Plastic Surgeons from India including Dr S Raja Sabapathy. He opened the windows of opportunities for many young surgeons from our country. In the memory of this great man “Bruce Bailey Traveling Fellowship” was set up by Dr S Raja Sabapathy. Bruce visited India many times and loved it. It is felt that setting up a Fellowship to enable a British Trainee visit our unit for a period of 6 to 8 weeks is a good way to keep the memory of the great man alive. It surely will build bridges between the two countries to mutual advantage. The Fellowship is recognized and announced in the newsletters of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand for the information of the interested candidates. It is worthy to add the impressions of the Bruce Bailey Fellow about the scheme. “I am a Specialist Registrar in Plastic Surgery at Canniesburn Hospital in Glasgow in the UK, in my final year of training. I have been very lucky to be selected as the very first Bruce Bailey Fellow, and I have been at Ganga Hospital for the last 2 months. During this time, I have been involved in the management of more major upper and lower limb injuries than I would normally see at home in several years. The opportunity to be a part of the team at Ganga, working in a different country with a completely different culture, whilst maintaining the highest clinical standards, as good as the best units in the UK, has been a fascinating experience. There are many differences, but also many similarities between the two systems! The Bruce Bailey Fellowship has been a great learning experience for me….”- Mr Rodrick Dunn – 2002Mr Dunn won the Lester Surgical and Heinz Waldrich Prize worth ? 1500 for the best Micro surgically oriented paper presented during the BAPS meeting held at London, Dec 2003 for the paper, ‘Passage to India – Bruce Bailey Fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery’. The paper was about the experience and the work done during his fellowship at Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore.
