Lymphedema Surgery
Lymphedema is a disease of the lymphatic system. This network of vessels and lymph nodes shuttles fluid and white blood cells throughout the body, similar to the veins and arteries. When the network is disrupted, usually as the result of cancer surgery, lymphatic fluid may be trapped in one area of the body and start to build up. Learn more ➤

Headache Surgery
This specialty was started by Dr. Bahman Guyuron at Georgetown, who noticed that cosmetic surgery for the forehead sometimes resulted in headache relief. He began to study the nerves entering and exiting the skull. Nerves exiting the skull have compression points – places where the nerve is in a confined space and can become irritated. Dr. Patel studied directly with Dr. Guyuron so that he could apply microsurgical techniques to help those with chronic headache pain, including relief of migraines and cluster headaches. Learn more ➤
Limb Salvage Surgery
Dr. Patel can often use microsurgical techniques to salvage or restore threatened limbs, whether the damage is caused by trauma, diabetes, or other diseases. The restoration of proper blood flow may help patients avoid amputation. Even in patients with vascular disease, Dr. Patel is able to reconstruct soft tissue through skin transplantation. He works closely with talented doctors and surgeons who specialize in other disciplines, such as vascular surgery, podiatry, and orthopedics to offer the best chance of preserving or restoring mobility and quality of life.
