About SCELS

The center is launched in the service of Humanity for 'Saving Limbs and Lives'.

Limbs that were given up for Amputation even after they had received treatment over prolonged period of time at several centres, have been saved by the application of the techniques pioneered and practiced by Prof. Dr. T. K. Sahi - the founder of SCELS.

Prof. Dr. T. K. Sahi, Honorary Surgeon, J.J. Hospital, Mumbai, has also pioneered the Treatment, Management and Salvage of Limbs, in cases of vascular disease and diabetes. Her innovative Surgical techniques and unique treatment strategies have saved the limbs of hundreds of people, and given new hope and life to millions.

Prof Dr. T. K. Sahi has researched and practiced the techniques for several years with success and saved thousands of limbs that had been given up for amputation after all the available treatment methods were tried and failed. The work has been applauded at none less than the 'World Congress of International College of surgeons'. The work received overwhelming applause for the innovative techniques and the results achieved in saving limbs and giving relief from Rest pain. The work also received the Award at the 'World Congress of International College of surgeons 2000' for the best research work. There is a dire need for this work to reach the 'people'. On scrutinizing the present situation it is clear that the amputation rates are not reducing. The fact is that for every limb that is being saved by Prof. Dr. T. K. Sahi there are hundreds of limbs being lost to amputation the world over. In fact, most of those limbs could be saved by our methods.

This work must spread beyond geographical and economic barriers. Awareness of this work will help people seek timely intervention and get the best for saving their limbs.

Her techniques have specially been successful in
  • Saving Diabetic Limbs associated complications
  • Saving limbs affected with P.V.D. and giving relief from the Rest pain
  • Even those Cases of P.V.D that have no distal run-off and are beyond the scope of salvage by arterial reconstruction or endovascular intervention can be saved.

These cases would otherwise invariably result in loss of limbs by amputation. However, the techniques of Dr. Sahi gives relief from rest pain and helps save even such limbs.

We focus on patients with limb-threatening ulcers and many other types of patients with extremity wounds or ischemia wounds, including those with: pressure sores, bone infections, poor circulation, leg swelling (edema), arterial insufficiency and venous stagnation.

The techniques used by Dr. T.K.Sahi are from sound basics in dressings and debridement to more skilled advanced methods which include the surgery of Bilateral Simultaneous Revascularization devised and practiced by her over several years with the most gratifying results in relieving the Rest Pain and saving the Limbs.

Highlights of SCELS is that there is an available solution for any problems of your legs giving relief from rest pain and saving the limbs. Circulation improves with passage of time with Dr.Sahi techniques as opposed to all other methods which deteriorate with passage of time.
