AIIMS and KMC Manipal Trained Senior Urologist with Robotic Surgery, Laser Prostatectomy and Kidney Transplant Capability

Urology is a sub specialty where the combination of foundational surgical training at a national referral centre, formal MCh sub-specialty qualification at a premier institution, and subsequent adoption of robotic and advanced laser techniques creates a practice profile that meaningfully differs from routine urological care. Dr Giridhar's training pathway runs through three of India's most competitive medical institutions: MBBS from BMCRI (Karnataka's apex government medical college), MS General Surgery from AIIMS New Delhi (India's most prestigious medical institution), and MCh Urology from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal (one of South India's premier medical universities).

His subsequent specialised training in HoLEP and ThuLEP (advanced laser prostatectomy), flexible ureteroscopy, and robotic urological surgery extends his procedural capability to the advancing edge of minimally invasive urology. His kidney transplantation programme involvement, HOD role at Kauvery Hospital, and international clinical experience at NMC Hospital Dubai further reflect the depth and breadth of his career trajectory. His International Continence Society (ICS) membership supports his urogynecology and continence sub-specialty interest, an area where female pelvic floor disorders and urinary incontinence benefit from a urologist with dedicated international society engagement. Combined with dual practice at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road (₹1250) and Manipal Hospital Jayanagar (₹900) and multilingual consultation in English, Kannada, and Hindi, this depth of urological expertise is now offered across two Bangalore locations.
