All four surgeons were individually re-confirmed on their own current hospital profile pages with rich, hospital-published CVs (fellowships in the UK, Germany, Austria, Singapore and the US; multiple national trauma/orthopaedic-society leadership roles; Dr Rajasekaran alone has 220+ international publications). The hospital's own logos confirm NABH, ISO and CAHO accreditation, not previously recorded.

Common questions about Ganga Hospital
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How do patients rate Ganga Hospital?
Across independent platforms Ganga Hospital holds Google 4.8/5. We show each platform separately rather than blending them into one score; figures were last checked 2026-09-11. Read the reviews themselves, not just the number — limb lengthening reviews cluster at the extremes.
How much does limb lengthening cost at Ganga Hospital?
Ganga Hospital does not publish a price, and we do not invent one. Comparable India clinics in this directory range widely by method; use the cost estimator or contact the clinic for a written quote before travelling.
Which limb lengthening methods does Ganga Hospital offer?
Ganga Hospital lists Ilizarov, TSF. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. J. Dheenadhayalan (Jayaramaraju Dheenadhayalan) (MBBS (1988, Govt. Medical College Bellary); Diploma in Orthopedics & MS Orthopedics (1991/1992, Govt. Medical College Mysore)). Each method page on this site explains how the device works, typical gain and the trade-offs.
What does recovery look like after surgery at Ganga Hospital?
Distraction runs at roughly 1 mm per day for 4–8 weeks, consolidation takes another 3–6 months while the new bone hardens, and physiotherapy-led return to full activity is usually 6–12 months from surgery. Ganga Hospital uses external fixation (Ilizarov, TSF); the frame stays on through consolidation, which means daily pin-site care and a longer period before the device comes off.
