Research and publications

Research shapes how Dr. Vikrant treats patients. His study comparing silver sulfadiazine-impregnated collagen dressings with conventional dressings in second-degree burns informs how burns are dressed at Jharkhand Charitable Hospital. His work on post-burn contractures and electric burns reflects injuries that are common in Jharkhand.
