Dr. Abhishek Mangeshikar

After completing medical school, Dr. Abhishek enrolled in a residency program in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Dr. DY Patil Medical College and Hospital, where he graduated at the top of my class in 2014. He worked in private practice for a year, alongside his father, after which he underwent a two year fellowship in minimally invasive gynaecology from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. he performed more than 250 surgeries including traditional laparoscopy, robotic surgery, single port surgery and NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery).During his second year, he was appointed as chief fellow and was actively involved in creating curriculum and training incoming fellows and residents.Also during this period he received the prestigious Travelling Scholarship from the International Gynecological Cancer Society (IGCS) for research in Minimally Invasive Gyne-oncology and published work on sentinel node mapping in gynecological cancers.He enjoy teaching laparoscopic gynaecology and he is currently faculty at CEMAST Mumbai, The Kiel School in Germany and have been recently appointed to the Board of the Asia Pacific Association for Gynaecologic Endscopy (APAGE) and will be course convener for their courses run in India. He have also been faculty at various international workshops including IRCAD inTaiwan, ALEXEA, Alexandria and Foshan, China.He have been fortunate to train extensively in laparoscopy in one of the most advanced centres for gynaecologic endoscopy in the world. His body of work includes laparoscopic management of gynaecological cancers, including radical hysterectomies, pelvic and para aortic lymphadenectomies, ovarian cancers and endometrial cancers. In benign gynaecology, he trained in the management of Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis, as well as the routine gamut of myomectomies and hysterectomies. He is well versed with single port surgery, which offers women a more cosmetic incision than traditional laparoscopy as well as robotic surgery.He will be the first Indian to offer Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery to his patients which is scarless laparosopic surgery which merges the power and magnification of laparoscopy with the cosmesis of vaginal surgery. This procedure was invented in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital where he trained and we are currently publishing the largest series of NOTES procedures in the world which has been authored by him. My USP will be Laparoscopy in the field of cancer surgery, where he can offer radical and extensive surgery Cancer necessitates but in a minimally invasive way.
