Research & Clinical Interests
Clinical and research focus
Dr. Shishir Anand's clinical interests span aesthetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, burns, cleft surgery, dermatosurgery, lasers, and hair restoration, with a particular research interest in foot and ankle defect reconstruction — a technically demanding area of reconstructive surgery that draws on microsurgical and flap techniques to preserve limb function in patients with severe wounds, often related to diabetes or trauma. See the diabetic foot and flap surgery pages for the clinical background behind this focus.

Why this matters for patients
A research interest in a specific, technically demanding reconstructive area typically reflects deeper hands-on experience and ongoing engagement with the current evidence in that field — relevant to patients considering foot and ankle reconstruction, diabetic wound care, or complex reconstructive cases specifically, alongside Dr. Anand's broader general plastic surgery practice.
Teaching
Dr. Anand also creates teaching material for MBBS students and surgical trainees, reflecting an ongoing role in medical education alongside clinical practice.
