Dr. Manoj R.
Gandhi
I was born in my
village, Khiwandi in Rajasthan and started my education in Mumbai.
My father always had an ambition that I should become a Doctor and
serve the people.
I have completed my
surgical training in university-recognized posts in hospitals in
Mumbai and completed my DNB (General Surgery) from National Board of
Examination, New Delhi. I received training in General Surgery,
including various specialties like Orthopedics, Burns, Plastic
Surgery, Pediatric Surgery and Urology and Oncosurgery. This period
was vital to my acquisition of fundamental surgical principles and
techniques. During this period I performed most of the minor as
well as major operations, elective as well as emergency operations.
After gaining
adequate experience in General Surgery and post-graduate
qualification, I developed keen interest in Laparoscopic Surgery.
During my Clinical Fellowship in Minimal Access ( Laparoscopic )
Surgery at Sir Gangaram Hospital, New Delhi India , I gained
adequate exposure in various cases such as Cholecystectomy,
Hepatobiliary Surgery, Endohernia surgery, Appendectomy, Solid organ
surgery including liver/spleen/adrenals/kidney/pancreas, Endoscopic
neck surgery including parathyroid and thyroid, Colorectal surgery,
Thoracoscopic surgery, Axilloscopy and other advanced laparoscopic
surgical maneuvers. Later I also received training in Upper G.I.
endoscopy.
I was fortunate
to be awarded the highly prestigious, Dr. P.N. Berry
Educational Trust Scholarship, which is administered by the
Education Department, High Commission of India, U.K. For training
in United Kingdom. I joined the most renowned department of Leeds
Institute for Minimally Invasive Therapy for Advanced Laparoscopic
Surgery and Pancreatic Surgery Fellowship Training, at United Leeds
Teaching Hospitals, NHS trust, under Professor M J McMahon from
March 2002 – May 2003. I also procured the Diploma in Advanced
Laparoscopic Surgery from European Institute of Tele Surgery,
Strasbourg, France.
