    Overview

  • Dr. Nataraj Naidu R is a seasoned surgical oncologist and robotic surgeon in Varthur Road, Bengaluru, known for managing high-complexity solid organ and peritoneal surface malignancies through guideline-driven surgical care. He is currently practising as a Consultant – Surgical Oncology at Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road, Bengaluru, with over 17 years of overall clinical experience and more than a decade dedicated exclusively to surgical oncology. 

  • His clinical practice spans gastrointestinal, gynaecological, thoracic, hepatopancreatobiliary, and peritoneal surface cancers, with a focused interest in cytoreductive surgery, HIPEC, and PIPAC. He is among the early adopters of advanced peritoneal malignancy treatments in India and was involved in introducing PIPAC at Manipal Hospitals. His expertise includes complex multivisceral resections, sentinel lymph node biopsy using gamma probe and ICG fluorescence, and robotic procedures for colorectal, esophageal, gynaecologic, urologic, and retroperitoneal malignancies. This breadth of procedural capability makes him one of the best surgical oncologists in Varthur Road for advanced abdominal and peritoneal cancers.

  • Dr. Naidu completed his MBBS and MS in General Surgery from Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, followed by Dr.NB in Surgical Oncology at Manipal Hospitals. He holds advanced fellowships, including FMAS, FAIS, FICRS, and specialised training in HIPEC, EPIC chemotherapy, and robotic oncology. His training also includes MIRP for parathyroid adenoma and advanced thoracic oncology procedures such as lobectomy and pneumonectomy. 

  • Alongside clinical work, he has maintained a strong academic footprint. He has served as an Assistant Professor in Surgical Oncology and General Surgery at multiple teaching institutions, contributing to undergraduate and postgraduate training. He was a demonstrator for peritonectomy procedures during India’s first live ISPSM workshop and continues to mentor surgeons in advanced oncologic and minimally invasive techniques.

  • Dr. Naidu has authored and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in national and international journals, including the Indian Journal of Gynaecologic Oncology and the Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences. His research work spans gastric outlet obstruction, pancreatic pathology, liver abscess management, and intraoperative frozen section use in endometrial cancer. He has presented extensively at ECCO, NATCON, ABSI, ISPSM, and ACOS conferences, and has received awards for best paper and poster presentations.

  • At Manipal Hospital Varthur Road, he works closely with teams across medical oncology, anaesthesia, radiology, pathology, and critical care to ensure continuity across every stage of cancer treatment. He communicates fluently in English, Kannada, Hindi, and Telugu, which allows discussions to remain clear and reassuring even during emotionally difficult consultations. Known for his measured explanations and approachability, Dr. Naidu takes time to help patients and families understand complex surgical decisions without pressure or haste. This balance of technical depth and personal engagement defines his standing among the best surgical oncologists in Varthur Road, particularly for recurrent and high-risk oncologic cases.
