    Overview

  • Dr. Santhoshkumar Bandegudda is a precise and technically accomplished surgical oncologist in Yeshwanthpur with advanced expertise in complex cancer surgeries and multidisciplinary oncological care. He is currently practising as a Consultant – Surgical Oncology at Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore, bringing over 12 years of surgical experience, including specialised training in oncological procedures and minimally invasive cancer surgery. 

  • He completed his MBBS from Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli, followed by an MS in General Surgery from University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi University, and further pursued DrNB in Surgical Oncology from Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute, Hyderabad. His training is complemented by fellowships in minimal access surgery (AMASI), FIAGES, and advanced laparoscopy and robotic surgery (FALS Robotics), reflecting a strong orientation towards precision-driven and technology-enabled surgical care.

  • Dr. Santhoshkumar’s clinical work spans the comprehensive management of solid organ malignancies, including gastrointestinal, breast, thoracic, gynaecological, and head and neck cancers. He is experienced in performing open, laparoscopic, and robotic oncological procedures, tailoring surgical strategies to tumour biology, staging, and patient-specific factors. His ability to integrate surgical precision with oncological principles contributes to his recognition as one of the best surgical oncologists in Yeshwanthpur for structured and comprehensive cancer care.

  • A key dimension of his expertise lies in advanced oncological techniques such as HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) for peritoneal surface malignancies, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and oncoplastic breast surgery, allowing both oncological clearance and functional preservation. He is also skilled in microvascular reconstruction and fluorescence-guided surgery, which enhances intraoperative accuracy and postoperative outcomes. His proficiency in these specialised procedures further positions him among the best surgical oncologists in Yeshwanthpur for complex and high-precision cancer surgeries.

  • Dr. Santhoshkumar actively participates in multidisciplinary tumour boards, ensuring that each patient benefits from a collaborative treatment plan involving medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, and supportive care teams. This integrated approach allows for balanced decision-making across surgical and non-surgical treatment pathways. His experience also includes managing perioperative care and long-term follow-up, ensuring continuity across the cancer care journey.

  • Beyond clinical practice, he has contributed extensively to academic research, with multiple peer-reviewed publications in reputed journals including The Lancet Oncology and the Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics. His academic work includes prospective studies on fluorescence imaging in oesophageal surgery and contributions to understanding cancer care delivery during global healthcare challenges. He has also presented at national and international conferences, reflecting sustained academic engagement.
