Dr. Shrikant Mishra is a Consultant Ayurvedic General Surgeon with over 6 years of clinical and surgical experience. Holding a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) and a postgraduate MS in Ayurvedic General Surgery, Dr. Mishra specialises in the practice of Shalya Tantra — the surgical science of Ayurveda — bringing a holistic, time-tested approach to modern surgical care at Kapadia Multispeciality Hospital.
Dr. Shrikant Mishra, BAMS, MS (Ayurvedic General Surgery) is a Consultant Ayurvedic General Surgeon at Kapadia Multispeciality Hospital, Goregaon West, Mumbai. With a specialisation in Shalya Tantra — the ancient Ayurvedic branch of surgery — Dr. Mishra bridges the wisdom of traditional Indian medicine with the demands of contemporary surgical practice, offering patients a natural, minimally invasive alternative for a range of surgical conditions.
His postgraduate training in MS Ayurvedic General Surgery has equipped him with comprehensive skills in para-surgical and surgical Ayurvedic procedures, including Kshar Sutra therapy — a well-established Ayurvedic technique recognised by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for the management of piles (haemorrhoids), fistula-in-ano, and pilonidal sinus. This approach offers patients effective treatment with minimal recurrence, no general anaesthesia, and a faster return to daily activities.
At Kapadia Multispeciality Hospital, Dr. Mishra works as part of a multidisciplinary surgical team — collaborating closely with the hospital's general surgery, laparoscopy, and laser surgery departments to offer patients a full spectrum of treatment options, conventional and Ayurvedic, for conditions including piles, fissure, fistula, hernia, and other anorectal and general surgical conditions.
Kshar Sutra therapy is an Ayurvedic para-surgical procedure recognised by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) as an effective treatment for piles, fistula-in-ano, and pilonidal sinus. It involves the use of a medicated thread prepared from alkaline herbal preparations, which acts gradually and precisely to treat the affected tissue.
Key advantages of Kshar Sutra over conventional surgery include no requirement for general anaesthesia, an outpatient or short-stay procedure, significantly lower recurrence rates for fistula, and a comfortable recovery process. Dr. Mishra's expertise in this technique makes him a valuable resource for patients seeking a natural, evidence-backed alternative to conventional anorectal surgery.
Kapadia Multispeciality Hospital offers patients the rare advantage of having both conventional surgical expertise (Dr. Rajan Modi — Laparoscopy, Laser Piles & Varicose Veins) and Ayurvedic surgical expertise (Dr. Shrikant Mishra — Shalya Tantra, Kshar Sutra) under one roof. This means patients can receive a fully-informed recommendation on the most appropriate treatment path — conventional, Ayurvedic, or a complementary combination — for conditions like piles, fistula, and fissure.
