Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Minimal access surgery — laparoscopic and hysteroscopic outcomes for fibroids, endometriosis, and infertility
• Fertility-conserving gynaecological surgery — outcomes in infertile patients
• High-risk pregnancy management at Mumbai tertiary centre

A patient with infertility secondary to intramural fibroids causing uterine cavity distortion underwent laparoscopic myomectomy under Dr. Kedia's USA-trained minimal access expertise — achieving fibroid removal with uterine preservation; the patient subsequently conceived naturally within six months, reflecting the fertility-conserving outcomes of her minimally invasive approach.

A patient with a complicated pregnancy requiring cervical cerclage for incompetent cervix was managed under Dr. Kedia's high-risk obstetric protocol with serial transvaginal ultrasound monitoring — achieving a successful term delivery and preventing preterm delivery, a common outcome without appropriate intervention.

• Clear and Honest Communication: Patients consistently describe Dr. Kedia as a doctor who explains issues, options, and decisions in simple terms — with one reviewer describing her as their "baby's godmother" for guiding them through a difficult infertility and pregnancy journey with clarity and compassion.
• No Unnecessary Tests or Procedures: Reviewers highlight that she never pushed for unnecessary investigations — representing an ethical, patient-centred approach that patients explicitly value and distinguish.
• USA-Trained Surgical Expertise: Patients who underwent laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures report excellent surgical outcomes and minimal recovery times — attributed to her USA training and 37-year surgical experience.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Kedia approaches every patient with the evidence-based rigour of her KEM Hospital training combined with the personal warmth that her patients consistently describe as her most distinguishing quality. She is known for never recommending unnecessary tests or procedures, presenting management options transparently, and dedicating extended time to patient education — ensuring that informed consent is genuine rather than procedural. Her USA training at the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University in minimal invasive gynaecology reflects her commitment to continuous improvement throughout a career that has now spanned over three decades.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Kedia has practiced Minimal Access Surgery since 1996 — among the earliest adopters of laparoscopic and hysteroscopic techniques in Mumbai — performing over 1,000 minimal access procedures across laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and microsurgery. Her USA-trained expertise in minimally invasive gynaecological techniques is complemented by comprehensive obstetric monitoring services including nuchal translucency scanning, growth scans, and Doppler studies in pregnancy at Fortis Hospital, Mulund.
