Maxillofacial Surgeon in Kochi · Head & Neck Surgical Oncologist
Dr. JishnuMohan.
Researcher · MedTech Innovator
Based in Kochi, I treat patients in the clinic and operating theatre, ask research questions from what I see there, and build the instruments, implants, and devices needed to answer them. Each project is engineered for the realities of resource limited surgical care.
The Approach
From clinical challenges
to medical innovation.
Every project on this site starts the same way: a limitation met with a patient in front of me. Clinical practice raises the question, research tests it, and innovation is what gets built to close the gap.
Clinical Practice
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Head & Neck Surgical Oncology, including TMJ disorders, oral cancer, facial trauma, dental implants, orthognathic and jaw reconstruction surgery.
Consultations → 02Research
Publications, presentations, and ongoing studies that turn questions raised in theatre into evidence, recognised with an All India Rank 1 in the AIIMS PhD entrance examination.
Publications → 03Innovation
Instruments, implants, and computational design tools for medical devices engineered for the realities of resource-limited surgical care.
Innovation Portfolio →At work,
in theatre.
Every device in this portfolio began as a problem encountered during a surgery, observed, measured, and re engineered between cases.
