Pune urologist to present paper at Berlin meet

Dr Suresh Patankar, a Pune-based urologist, will be presenting a research paper on ‘Herbmed Plus’, an ayurvedic medicine, at an international conference to be held in Berlin, Germany, between July 16 and 20. Patankar is head of the urology department at BJ Medical College.

In a press conference held in Pune on Thursday, Patankar said that Herbmed Plus reduces the possible harmful side effects in urological operations. “Sometimes, some residues can remain in the kidney, which can lead to new stone formations. Herbmed Plus helps remove these fragments completely without causing pain to the patient.”

Patankar said that he had the patent for Herbmed Plus, an ayurvedic medicine, which uses several constituents such as varun, banana steam, yav, aghada and others. The international conference was organised by the Society Internationale De Urology.
