HYDERABAD:
Taking suo motu cognizance of the controversial height gain surgery performed on a 23-year-old city-based techie Nikhil Reddy at Global Hospitals, the Telangana State Medical Council (TSMC) has summoned the doctors involved in the procedure.
In a notice issued by TSMC on Wednesday, they asked the doctors who performed the surgery to appear before its ethics committee on April 20 to explain their stand on what they called an "unusual experimental surgery on a young person".
Sources said that the TSMC was forced to take up the case after several members of the medical fraternity raised ethical issues as to why the team led by G Chandra Bhushan, the chief orthopaedic surgeon, agreed to add three inches to Nikhil Reddy's existing height of 5 feet 7 inch, which itself is considered the standard height for Indian males.
