• Hand Surgery: Both traumatic and non-traumatic conditions can be addressed with hand surgery. Traumatic conditions include fractures, dislocations, tendon lacerations, amputations, and nerve injuries. Non-traumatic conditions include arthritis, stiff joints, congenital hand problems, nerve compression (like carpal tunnel syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis, and tumors. Dr. Jejurikar has board certification in surgery of the hand from the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
• Burn Repair: In the Chicago area, burn repair typically addresses the acute wounds caused by severe burns as well as the subsequent scarring that may result. The goals are to improve aesthetics and maximize recovery of movement and function.
• Skin Cancer Treatment: Plastic surgeons are the choice of many patients for the treatment of basal cell cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Dr. Jejurikar also performs reconstruction of complex facial defects after removal of skin cancer. His expertise makes him exceptionally qualified as a plastic surgeon for skin cancer patients.
• Lower Extremity Reconstruction: Dr. Jejurikar works with orthopaedic and trauma surgeons to achieve reconstruction of complex wounds of the lower extremities. These wounds are usually a result of trauma or tumor removal.
• Microsurgical Reconstruction: Dr. Jejurikar performs this highly specialized type of surgery to reconstruct defects of the head and neck, breasts, and extremities. This requires movement of tissue from one part of a patient’s body to another and connecting arteries, veins, and nerves with use of a microscope.

Choosing Your Surgeon

Dr. Jejurikar is one of a select group of plastic surgeons nationwide to complete two additional years of fellowship training after plastic surgery residency: a Reconstructive Microsurgery fellowship and a Hand Surgery fellowship.
