He introduced his own operation for Staphyloplasty by dissecting two flaps of mucous membrane having a triangular shape and contributed also in taliacotian operation, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, cheiloplastic operation in case of lip cancer, amputations at the hip-joint, ocular deformities and tongue cancer restoration.
