Academic Career and Teaching

Dr Siddesh G brings over 30 years of academic teaching experience across two of Mysuru's most respected medical institutions, combining surgical excellence with a deep commitment to training the next generation of surgeons.

Professor and Head of Department of Surgery, JSS Medical College, Mysuru

Dr Siddesh joined the faculty of the Department of Surgery at JSS Medical College and Hospital, Mysuru in December 1985. Over a remarkable tenure spanning three decades, he rose to become Professor and Head of the Department of Surgery, responsible for the clinical management of thousands of patients annually and the surgical training and academic development of an entire generation of doctors.

Among his most enduring contributions was the establishment of the Endoscopy Unit at JSS Medical College Hospital in 1986, a pioneering initiative at a time when endoscopic medicine was nascent in India. Under his leadership, this unit grew into a full-fledged centre of excellence offering diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy services to patients across the Mysore region and beyond.

He guided numerous postgraduate students through their MS dissertations, served as an examiner for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at multiple universities, and earned a reputation as a teacher who combined exacting academic standards with genuine mentorship.

Medical Director and Chief Surgeon, Sigma Hospital, Mysuru

Following his distinguished tenure at JSS Medical College, Dr Siddesh assumed the role of Medical Director and Chief Surgeon at Sigma Hospital, Mysuru, a NABH-accredited multispecialty hospital recognised as a leader in minimally invasive surgery.

At Sigma, he continued to perform high-volume, high-complexity surgeries while building the surgical division into a regional benchmark for quality and outcomes, attracting patients from across Mysore, surrounding districts, and beyond.

A Pioneer of Laparoscopic Surgery and Therapeutic Endoscopy in Mysore

Dr Siddesh G is formally documented in the historical record of surgery in Mysore as one of the first surgeons to introduce laparoscopic surgery in the mid-1990s, alongside Dr C G Narasimhan.

At a time when keyhole surgery was available only in a handful of metropolitan centres across India, he brought minimally invasive surgical care to patients in this part of Karnataka.

He was equally the first to perform therapeutic endoscopy in this part of the state, establishing a dual legacy in both minimally invasive surgery and interventional endoscopy that remains unmatched in the Mysore region.

Over the decades since, he has performed thousands of laparoscopic procedures, consistently delivering outcomes that match international standards.
