During 1996 to May 1998 my son was under the treatment of Dr SK Yacha sir. He was suffering from multiple polyps in big intestine. I was consulted many doctors at kanpur and take treatment but all is in vain. I was very depressed during that time. At kanpur some Dr advised for removal of big intestine and temporary arrangement for passing stools through stomach. I was very afraid about my son. On the situation someone advised me to consult at SGPGI, lucknow. In Feb, 96 I have consulted at sgpgi where Dr yacha sir looked my son and assure me that don't worry and asked me that treatment will take some time. During the period there are many visits at sgpgi and each time remove one polyp by colonoscopy and stay there for 5-6hours for observation. Dr yacha is very kind and loving to children. He is God for me. I wish him for more success and long life to serve the human being. ******* *************************
