Dual MCh and DrNB Urologist with Renal Transplant Fellowship, International Conference Awards, and Eight Sub-Specialty Practice Breadth

Urology is a sub specialty where the combination of dual sub-specialty credentialling, formal transplant fellowship, and breadth of practice across multiple urological domains distinguishes practitioners who can offer genuinely comprehensive urological care from those with narrower scope. Dr Ravi Shankar's dual MCh Urology and DrNB Urology credentials alongside Fellowship in Renal Transplant Surgery from MAHE provide the formal training foundation for his eight sub-specialty practice domains: advanced endo-urology, renal transplantation, andrology, uro-oncology, robotic surgery, urogynecology, reconstructive urology, and paediatric urology.

His conference engagement is genuinely international: Best Poster Awards at KTCON 2024 and 2023 for robotic transplant and complex transplant scenarios, international presentations at UAA Bali and SAUS Colombo, and Best Poster at ASICON 2016. His eleven professional memberships including three international bodies (AUA, SRS USA, UAA) and SAUS reflect broad professional engagement. His ten peer-reviewed publications, hands-on workshops at PGIMER Chandigarh and RML Hospital New Delhi, and six language fluency in English, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, and Tamil further extend his profile. Combined with current practice at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road (₹1250) and Manipal Hospital Millers Road, this breadth of dual credentialled, transplant fellowship trained, internationally presented urological care is now offered across two Bangalore locations.
