Dr. Nagendra Parvataneni
Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist
Dedicated to Patient Care
Armed with rich educational experiences from premier institutions like Dr. B.A.M.C, Bengaluru and the Kidwai Institute of Oncology (ranking number one in the nation), and residencies from the prestigious Tata Cancer Hospital and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, he possesses a host of certifications and fellowships which stand as a testament to his refined knowledge and skills in the field of surgical oncology. His short role as a registrar at Q E Hospital, Kings Lynn, in the department of surgical gastroenterology - colorectal services, also progressed his career as a colorectal surgeon by offering valuable knowledge and skills to excel in this specialization.
Leveraging these diverse experiences, he has honed his skills in advanced open, robotic, and laparoscopic techniques, and utilizes his expertise in offering comprehensive care services tailored according to the individual needs of each patient. “Although I operate on all organ systems in oncology, my motivation to become a colorectal surgeon stemmed from a passion for making a meaningful impact on patients' lives. The intricate nature of colorectal surgery and its potential to alleviate suffering resonated with me deeply. Additionally, my training at renowned institutions globally and my dedication to excellence in colorectal surgery, have raised my confidence and provided me a competitive edge in my capabilities as a surgeon”, shares Dr. Nagendra Parvataneni, Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist.
For the purpose of advancing the effectiveness and precision during surgery, and improving treatment outcomes, Dr. Parvataneni leverages technology such as
robotic surgery systems, when conducting surgeries. Providing enhanced visuals and magnification capabilities in addition to improving dexterity, this technology makes precise movements a seamless task even in confined spaces of the pelvic region, providing critical support during colorectal surgery. Moreover, the integration of automation and artificial intelligence in the form of AI-driven tools enabled him in preoperative planning, intraoperative decision-making, and postoperative monitoring. These tools also offer real-time feedback and guidance during surgery which help in optimizing surgical techniques.
“My approach to patient education and counseling is rooted in transparency, empathy, and empowerment. I prioritize clear communication, ensuring patients understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and potential outcomes. I utilize layman's terms and visual aids to simplify complex concepts and encourage patients to ask questions and express concerns, fostering a collaborative decision-making process. I provide balanced information, outlining both the benefits and potential drawbacks of surgery, emphasizing that our team takes extensive measures to minimize risks and ensure patient safety. I address specific concerns based on individual patient factors, and the nature of the procedure”, further adds Dr. Nagendra Parvataneni.
