EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey surgeon's medical license has been temporarily suspended for allegedly reusing disposable anal catheters on multiple patients.

 

Attorney General Christopher Porrino says East Brunswick-based colon and rectal surgeon Sanjiv Patankar allegedly washed and reused the one-use catheters that are inserted into patients during medical procedures.

 

State officials say they have evidence that Patankar ordered only five catheters during time when he performed 82 procedures requiring them.

You gotta love his write up...

 

"Dr. Sanjiv Patankar is an internationally renowned colon and rectal surgeon. Using his skills, extensive knowledge, and scientific inquiring mind, he has a long track record of achieving excellent outcomes for patients suffering from colon and rectal cancer, diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, chronic ulcerative colitis.

 

In 1995, when laparoscopic colorectal surgery was in infancy, Dr. Patankar made enduring, original, scientific landmark contributions that helped to establish the safety, efficacy, and the role of this most significant innovation in recent surgical history.

 

He is now regarded as one of the leading experts in robotic colorectal surgery. He has travelled widely all over the United States, lecturing, guiding, and training colorectal surgeons in this remarkable technological development.

 

He has emerged as a “surgeon of surgeons” and takes care of complex anorectal diseases, sphincter preserving rectal cancer surgery, and complex pelvic floor reconstructions.

 

He is sought after by gynecologists, urologists, urogynecologists, and gynecological oncologists, for the interdisciplinary care of the patients.

 

His core guiding humanistic principles have been empathy, compassion, kindness, respect, and patient dignity."
