He introduced latest Advanced Oncoplastic breast-preserving operations (therapeutic mammaplasty, mastopexy, partial breast reconstruction with chest-wall perforator flap) & Reconstructive techniques (muscle-avoiding mesh-based implant reconstruction) locally.
Mr Agrawal is the founder-director of an International level breast reconstructive dissection skills course that attracts national & international Consultants. He himself trained in breast surgical oncology and advanced Oncoplastic and Reconstructive breast surgery in Nottingham-Derby complemented by fellowships in Paris and Brussels.
