Curing with Care...
There was one, then a one hundred and then there were 5000 stories of success, of healing, of caring and cure.
In fact, just like several other success stories. This journey of 5000 happily treated patients suffering with Piles
also has a humble beginning. It all began in 2008 at a Private Hospital in Swargate, Pune when the first patient,
Mr Arun More believed in the healing hands of Dr Ashwin Porwal. This was also the birth of the concept of
Healing Hands Clinic. It is at this clinic that the stories of smiles have been scripted.
Over the years, this journey of Piles to Smiles has come to be dotted with several sweet memories of patients
sharing their experiences of doubts dispelled with trust, pain transformed to relief, and tears changed into joy.
Today, Healing Hands Clinic is a family of 5000 surgically treated members & more where each member has a
success story to share…

PILES… A Lifestyle Disease
PILES (clinically known as Haemorrhoids)
basically, is the swelling of blood vessels
near the anal opening. The lumps are formed
by increased pressure on blood vessels in
the area, causing them to enlarge and swell.
We understand that piles may not be a
subject you feel comfortable talking about,
but there is no need to suffer in silence.
Constipation
Hard Stools
Wrong toilet habits
Being over weight
PILES
Lifting heavy loads
Family history
Pregnancy
CAUSES
Grades of Piles…. Depending upon swelling & progression Piles present in 4 stages
Grade I
Symptoms are mild pain, itching sensation, heaviness where patient can be cured with medicine and diet and
Healing Hands Innovative Ayurvedic Therapy.
Grade II
Symptoms are painful defecation, recurrent bleeding, itching sensation, burning sensation, dragging sensation,
and feeling of prolapse which reduces automatically after motion. This may require surgical intervention.
Grade III
Symptoms are painful defecation, recurrent bleeding, itching sensation, burning sensation, dragging sensation,
and feeling of prolapse which may require finger reduction after motion. This requires surgical intervention.
Grade IV
Symptoms worsen and the prolapse is irreducible. This requires surgical intervention.
NOTE : Only 30% of patients suffering from Piles will have bleeding, rest of the patients will have either burning, itching or constipation.

9. No Piles… Only Smiles..!
Innovative treatment for Piles :
STAPLER Surgery
BEFORE SURGERY
STAPLER SURGERY
AFTER SURGERY
Procedure : It is a minimally invasive
painless procedure that reduces the
prolapsed HAEMORRHOIDAL (PILES)
tissue. A unique stapling technique that is
used to push the swollen blood vessels
back into their normal position.
Preparation : Requires patient to take nothing by mouth about 4 hrs prior to the surgery.
Surgery :
The surgery takes only about 20 to 30 minutes. It is usually done under spinal anesthesia. It is done
through a natural opening (anus), with the help of a use and throw device known as Stapler. In this surgery as there are no cuts
and no stitches outside so there is no need of dressing.
Post Operative Care (after surgery care) : Patient can have full diet 4 hrs post surgery. He/she can
walk around just after 5–6 hrs of the surgery. Patient can be discharged within a span of 24 hrs. On discharge
antibiotics and painkiller for7 to 10 days are advised.
Recovery : Patient normally gets discharged from the hospital within 24 hrs. The recovery period is relatively very short.
Patient can resume daily routine after discharge and join work after 3 days.
NOTE : Stapler Surgery is done with any external cuts, so loss of control post surgery is a myth.

10. CONSTIPATION
Constipation is often one of those topics, very few people like to discuss. It occurs when bowel
movements become difficult or less frequent. Constipation is not a disease, but a symptom related to a
family of diseases generally classified as 'defecation disorders'.
How do you know... ?
If you suffer from Chronic Constipation?
The following self-assessment can help you determine whether or not you may suffer
from chronic constipation.
Fewer than three bowel movements in a week.
The need to strain at least 25% of the time during bowel movements.
A feeling of not being able to complete your bowel movements at least 25% of the time.
Hard or lumpy stools at least 25% of the time.
If you have experienced at least two of above symptoms for at least three months, you
may have chronic constipation.
If you have Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS) A type of Chronic Constipation?
If you have chronic constipation and also have one or more of the following
symptoms at least 25% of the time during bowel movements, you may have ODS:
Multiple trips to the bathroom.
Prolonged straining.
Incomplete elimination, and/or prolonged time to have a bowel movement.
Routine use of laxatives or enemas.
The need to press around your genitals or anus to have a bowel movement.
Note : ODS is a form of Chronic Constipation seen in 5% of population, more common in women.

11. Lucky STARR for Constipation
Treatment Option :
Most of the time, chronic constipation can be relieved using a
combination of Diet, Exercise, Medication and Pelvic Floor
Physiotherapy.
If these approaches do not relieve your chronic constipation,
you should discuss treatment options with a Proctosurgeon
as you may be suffering from a type of Chronic Constipation
known as Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS).
BEFORE STARR SURGERY
Chronic Constipation caused by ODS
AFTER STARR SURGERY
Bowel movement restored
Diagnosis :
MRI Defecography is a must.
An Advanced Treatment for ODS :
STARR SURGERY
Relief from Chronic Constipation
STARR (Stapled Trans Anal Rectal Resection) is a surgical procedure that is performed through the anus, requires no external cuts
and leaves no visible scars. Using 2 surgical staplers, the procedure removes excess tissue in the rectum and reduces the deformities
that causes ODS. Patients undergoing STARR are typically hospitalized for 24 Hrs. STARR surgery has a minimal recovery time after
leaving the hospital.
Note : In a study, 37% of women who met symptomatic criteria for constipation did not regard themselves as constipated. MRI Defecography can diagnose the type of Constipation.

12. Curing with Care...
MRI DEFECOGRAPHY
SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO CONSTIPATION :
Defecography (Scanning of evacuation) is a MAGNETIC
RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) study of defecation, a diagnostic test
that shows the rectal & anal canal as they change during
defecation (having a bowel movement). This test is used to
evaluate disorders of the lower bowel that are not evident by tests
such as colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.
Scanning of evacuation
WHO MAY HAVE TO GO FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC TEST
Chronic constipation.
Incomplete evacuation.
Obstruction & straining during defecation.
Fingering during defecation.
Patient goes number of times for defecation but does not feel
complete satisfaction of evacuation.
Daily or alternate day hard stools.
Patient has only 2 to 3 evacuations in a week and defecation is a
long and time consuming process.
Rectal Prolapse (something coming out from anus)
Pelvic Prolapse (Bladder & Vagina)
Preparation & Technique for the Procedure :
A jelly paste around 300 to 400 ml is inserted in the anal region of
the patient & he is asked to defecate it. All the images during the
defecation process are recorded.
RECTOCELE
RECTO-RECTAL
INTUSSUSCEPTION
WHERE :
This technologically advanced investigation is available at a very
few places in India. In Maharashtra it is available in Mumbai &
Pune.
In Pune it is done only at Fidelity Diagnostics in association with Healing
Hands Clinic, located at Inamdar Hospital, Fatima Nagar under the
guidance of Proctosurgeon Dr. Ashwin Porwal and his team of trained
doctors, staff and an experienced radiologist. For appointments kindly
call our Doctors on 88882 88885 / 88882 88886
Note : MRI Defecography takes 30 mins and can be carried out anytime without any bowel preparation.

Cancer of the Rectum
The dreaded ‘C’ word- Dealing with Cancer of the Rectum
Cancer
Cancer has become an epidemic to say the very least. Aptly termed ‘Emperor of Maladies’ it has
become a nightmare for both the patients and their doctors. But what works in the favor of life
and a chance at complete recovery is ‘Prevention’ and ‘Early Detection’.
This principle also applies to cancer developing in the Colo-Rectal Region. Cancer of the rectum
is more prevalent in men above 50.
Symptoms :
• A change in previous bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhoea
• Bleeding from the anus
• Abdominal pain
• Weight loss
Diagnosis :
Colonoscopy & Biopsy
Screening for Cancer Rectum for early Diagnosis
We, at HHC, have been supporting campaigns to aid
‘Prevention of Cancer of the Rectum’ through dietary
recommendations such as high fibre diet and early
detection by screening tests.

An anal fissure is a break or tear in the skin
of the anal canal. Anal fissures may be
noticed by bright red anal bleeding on the

2) If nothing works : Painless Surgery by
Radiofrequency (LASER) is the last option.
A less known about and even more rarely discussed is a
condition experienced mainly by young men in their 20s
and 30s- some of them develop a small painful swelling just
below the spine or between the buttocks. Most ignore it or
opt for self medication only to experience reoccurrences
and episodes of pus discharge. The truth is that these signs
and symptoms are not sporadic but develop as part of the
pinodial disease where a sinus tract develops from the
source of infection in this anatomical region. Infection in
this area develops because of the presence of ingrown
hair; the risk also increases in cases of sedentary
occupation (a norm nowadays), local irritation and trauma.

Understanding Hernia
A Hernia is a sac formation due to weakness or tear in
abdominal muscles. A Hernia occurs when the
contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where
they are normally contained. Any activity that
increases intra-abdominal pressure can worsen a
hernia; examples of such activities are lifting weights,
coughing, or even straining to have a bowel
movement, or pregnancy.
Poor Nutrition
Smoking
Over Exertion
Undescended Testicles
Previous Surgery
Pregnancy
By Birth
Note : Slow & Gradual weight lifting is advisable to Gym - goers to prevent Hernia.

19. 3D Mesh repair for Hernia
What is 3D Mesh?
The PROLENE 3D Patch mesh is a sterile, 3dimensional device for the repair of small abdominal
wall hernias – offering the benefits of tension-free hernia repair with the efficiency of 3 easy
steps. This consists of three attached components :
Prolene
Device
An 'underlay patch' that provides for an effective posterior repair on the inside of the abdominal
wall giving the benefits of Laparoscopic Repair.
A 'connector' similar to plug, but smaller and flatter.
An 'onlay patch' that fits over the abdominal wall giving the benefits of Open Mesh Repair.
Three Dimensional Mesh Repair
(Dual Mesh Repair)
Choose Tension free Hernia Repair
A device (Prolene Hernia System) has been designed to overcome many of the disadvantages of tension free hernia
repair technique which is currently used primarily to repair direct and indirect inguinal hernia.
Benefits of 3D Mesh Repair
1) As the device lies flat against the abdomen, it has virtually no chance of migrating like other devices.
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
Minimal number of stitches.
Most important the 3-D mesh device provides the benefits of strong posterior repair like a laparoscopic procedure.
Guaranteed Freedom from Hernia.
Smaller incision (generally about 4-5cm)
Can be done under local Anaesthesia also.
Discharge within 24 hours and back to work from 3rd day after surgery.
NOTE : Any Hernia however small it is (even if 1cm), needs surgical repair, because if prolonged the Hernia defect increases with time.

It’s time to beat bloating, acidity,
heartburn and the headaches
they bring with them
INDIGESTION GASES CONSTIPATION
Purely Herbal & Non Habit Forming
We ingest, the body digests. The story of the food we eat and
the nourishment we obtain from it is supposed to be as simple
as that. But what if things go a little awry? Early in school we
are taught that digestion – simple though it may appear to beis actually a complex procedure that begins in the mouth itself
and involves the esophagus, the stomach and the intestines.
Symptoms :
• Bloating
• Constipation
• Chest pain or burning
• Abdominal cramps
• Nausea and vomiting
Diagnosis : Colonoscopy , Gastroscopy ,
USG abdomen , MRI Defecography.
CAUSES :
• Acidity
• GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease)
• IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
• Gall Stones
• Appendicitis
• ODS (Obstructed Defecation Syndrome )
TREATMENT:
We, at HHC can help you to determine the root cause of your digestive disease by detailed dietary history and can treat you
with minimal medications , Herbals and lifestyle modifications. Conditions like appendicitis and cholecystitis (Gall bladder stone )
can be treated by Laparoscopic surgery.
Note : At HHC most of the digestive diseases are successfully managed by Nutrition Consultation, CONSTACURE Powder & Yoga.

RECTAL PROLAPSE SURGERY
MEHBOOB SOMJAL
50 yr, Teacher, Satara.
I h a d b e e n s u f fe r i n g f r o m
constipation since many years. But
as many say some habits die hard.
Same was my case. I was used to
having laxatives on a daily basis.
Years down the line the dosage also
increased with my problem. There were times when I
didnt pass stools without use of laxatives. Slowly slowly I
started having severe hard stools due to which I had to
manually remove them during defecation as well. It then
dawned on me that I should look into the problem
seriously. My digestion was down the drains. I consulted
my family doctor who referred me to one of the leading
Proctosurgeon Dr Ashwin Porwal. As soon as my history
was taken he quickly diagnosed my ailment to be Rectal
Prolapse & I was advised to undergo MRI Defecography
for ODS. My reports were positive with rectoceles & was
further advised to undergo STARR Surgery at Inamdar
Hospital. I decided to get it done at the earliest as I
wanted relief at the earliest. Today 6 months post
surgery I never imagined I could be so better. If I had gone
in my preventive stage maybe I would have been cured
with medicines as well. All thanks to Dr Porwal for the
best surgical treatment given to be. He has made my life
heaven!
P.O.P.S. for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
REKHA GAJBHIJE
45 yr - SBI Employee
I used to feel that i am cursed
with this problem of
constipation since 6-7 years
that increased in severity day
by day. I had to spend ½ to 1
hour daily in the toilet just to get
satisfactory motions. I also used to have difficulty
to pass urine since many years since even before
marriage. Some times I used to feel that I can’t
control my urine. Even slightest coughing or
laughing caused dribbling of urine. These
complaints made my daily life miserable. My past
association with Dr Porwal for Laparoscopic
Cholecystectomy made me visit him immediately
for a complete solution. He diagnosed me for
Obstructed Defecation Syndrome & vaginal vault
prolapse. My MRI Defecography too showed
severe rectoceles & vaginal prolapse. I was
advised to undergo pelvic organ prolapse
suspension suregery (P.O.P.S) at Poona Hospital.
I was discharged on day 5 with complete recovery
from my problem for which I am very grateful to Dr
Porwal & the entire team of Healing Hands Clinic
team!

It feels horrible when your

defecation problem. I had suffered
from hard stools since many years
on & off. Due to this I used to have
bleeding on defecation that made me psychologically
disturbed months down the line. I had taken
Ayurvedic, Allopathic & Homeopathic treatments but
all in vain as the problem was suppressed for the time
being but came up again in a few weeks. I was
extremely frustrated. I read an article in a local leading
newspaper about the painless Stapler Surgery &
decided to give my ailment a last try. Visiting Healing
Hands Clinic gave me a positive vibe. The extreme
politeness & care shown by the team was very
appreciating. I was diagnosed for Severe Anal Spasm
with the beginning of Haemorrhoids. Dr Porwal
advised me medicines for a month & then as per
recovery the next treatment would be decided. But I
had lost my patience & decided to get operated at the
earliest to relieve my pain. Discharge within 24 hours
& painless surgery details made me relaxed. Today its
more than a year that I am operated & I am completely
cured from my problem all thanks to Healing Hands
Clinic & Dr Ashwin Porwal.

KANHAYYA GODHWANI
50 yr, Teacher, Chinchwad.
Getting a good doctor is destiny
today. That’s what happened with
me. My brother got operated for
Hernia just a few months before I
got operated. He was completely
happy with the service & suggested me to consult Dr
Ashwin Porwal at the earliest. I was diagnosed for
Grade III Haemorrhoids and was explained my
problem was not the one to be completely cured with
medications & so was advised Stapler Surgery. I had
frequent bleeding with hard stools & need to strain
while passing stools. My past association with Dr.
Porwal for my brother made me undergo surgery
without any doubts and hesitation. Today 6 months
post surgery I don’t believe that I underwent surgery,
such is the success of the surgery. I would definitely
advise all the patients suffering from Piles to consult
Dr Porwal and get the appropriate treatment. The
staff, the follow up treatment, the aftercare system &
the 24x7 availability of the team even post surgery is
mesmerizing and satisfying! Thank you Healing

I was having a very poor
lifestyle & sedentary pattern.
Food habits were vague as due
to my hectic schedule I used to
eat whatever was available.
Little did I realize such a
dreadful problem was awaiting for me in near
future. I underwent three surgeries previously and
was hospitalised for 15days for each surgery of
fistula. But all of them failed. Later was refused for
surgery by colo rectal surgeon in Mumbai.Finally
was referred by a renowned politician to Healing
Hands Clinic, Dr Ashwin Porwal. MRI Fistulogram
was done showing the rarest of rare fistula recto
inguinal - a fistula that extended from my rectum to
the Inguinal region. No mention of surgery for
same exists in medical literature. Surgery for
same was performed successfully and the
technique is now know on name of Dr Ashwin
Porwal , Pune. It took me 3-4 weeks post surgery to
recover completely. But today I feel if I wouldn't
meet Dr Porwal I would not be having this life that's lived happily ever after !
AYURVEDIC THERAPY : Early Costipation
PRAKASH SANAP
38 yr, Teacher, Nasik.
I had a severe constipation
problem since few month.
Frequent hard stools, incomplete
evacuation & manually removing
stools had become a daily habit.
Ever y doctor in Nasik had
diagnosed me as fissures, but I was sure my problem
was something different. I read about Dr Porwal on
internet via Doctor for Constipation in Pune. I
consulted him & was very happy to know that my
problem could be rectified. He suggested me to
undergo MRI Defecography – the newly introduced
diagnostic test for chronic constipation. The reports
were in the mild stage, so I was advised to undego
Diet, Ayurveda therapy & Physiotherapy with
medicines for my ailment. This treatment was for 6
months. Within 2 months I started getting good
results. I had irregular bowel habits as well before,
but now I started having regular bowels & with soft
consistency. But with patience I followed what was
told to me by the team & today even without surgery I
am completely happy. All thanks to Dr Porwal & the
entire Healing Hands Clinic Team!

STARR SURGERY for Constipation
HERNIA : 3D MESH REPAIR

I never Ever dreamed in my worst
nightmares that Constipation if not
prevented on time could lead to
surgery. Shifting to India a few years
back made me feel heaven. I thought
maybe having a good healthy work environment &
consulting a few General Physicians would cure me of
my 7 year old constipation problem. But day by day my
constipation worsened with which I was referred to a
leading Proctosurgeon in India Dr Ashwin Porwal by my
Physician. Earlier my colonoscopy was done but it was
normal and all other tests including sonography were
normal . But it was MRI Defecography which diagnosed
my problem. I realized I had not followed the 'Prevention
is better than cure' & fallen prey to an ailment that can
worsen ur daily morning chores. But having such a
trustworthy, supportive & medically faithful doctor is
something rare that I found in Dr Porwal & decided to
get operated at Inamdar Hospital for STARR Surgery for
Obstructed Defecation Syndrome that I was suffering
from. Today if u see me moving around with zest & zeal u
will never believe that in 24 hours this operation that I
was scared about took me back home without any pain
& suffering & free from constipation for the rest of my
life! Kudos to Healing Hands Clinic staff!

STAPLER SURGERY for PILES
A year back I noticed a small
welling on my left inguinal
region. But it went unnoticed
as I thought it would reduce
on its own. But on coughing &
lifting weights it started paining
on & off. The size also gradually increased. I
used to have pain in abdomen as well
sometimes. My family doctor advised me to get a
sonography done in which I was diagnosed for
left inguinal hernia. I didn’t have enough
knowledge on this, but as per my physician he
knew it would require surgical treatment so he
referred me to Dr Ashwin Porwal who is a very well
known & leading Surgeon in Pune. He
immediately advised me to undergo the
innovative 3D Mesh Surgery for my ailment. I
decided to get it operated as I knew my problem
would increase day by day. I had a wonderful
experience with Healing Hands Clinic and the
treatment given to me. Excellent team work, coordination & treatment. I am very happy today!

I always had big dreams since
childhood of working with a
reputed company in the states. I
was excited on my first day at
Texas for my job. Little did I know that change of
country & lifestyle would affect my health
profoundly. To keep away from parents I didn't
discuss my health until I realized it needs
immediate medical attention when one morning I
had severe bleeding on passing stools. Googling for
Piles doctor in pune made me visit India's leading
Proctologist Dr Porwal. Taking my grade ii bleeding
haemorrhoids in consideration Dr Porwal advised
me medication for a month. But my short visit made
me decide for quick surgery for permanent
recovery.. Within 24 hours I was discharged &
within a weeks time I'm back to States. All thanks to
the invention of Stapler Surgery & Dr Porwal!
