Course Overview

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers account for a significant portion of cancer cases worldwide, requiring a highly skilled and precise surgical approach. With rapid advancements in minimally invasive and robotic techniques, GI surgical oncology has entered a new era—offering better outcomes, faster recovery, and improved quality of life for patients.

The Fellowship in GI Surgical Oncology & Robotic Surgery at HCG is designed to train surgeons in advanced, evidence-based management of gastrointestinal malignancies. The program combines high-volume clinical exposure, hands-on robotic training, and mentorship under leading GI surgical oncologists. Fellows are trained in complex resections, organ-preserving surgeries, and reconstructive procedures using state-of-the-art robotic and laparoscopic systems.

HCG’s multidisciplinary ecosystem ensures that fellows learn to plan and perform cancer surgeries in close collaboration with gastroenterologists, pathologists, radiologists, and medical oncologists — developing the skills needed to provide holistic, patient-focused care.

Why This Fellowship Matters

  • High Burden of GI Cancers: Gastrointestinal cancers form a major part of the global cancer load, requiring specialized surgical expertise.
  • Shift Toward Minimally Invasive Surgery: Robotic and laparoscopic approaches have become the standard of care, demanding trained professionals.
  • Bridging Skill Gaps: This fellowship builds advanced surgical competence to handle complex abdominal and pelvic oncologic procedures.
  • HCG’s Advantage: With robotic surgery platforms and high surgical case volumes, HCG provides unmatched opportunities for technical and academic growth.

Fellowship Highlights

  • Comprehensive GI Oncology Training: Exposure to upper and lower GI malignancies — including esophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, and hepatobiliary cancers.
  • Robotic Surgery Mastery: Hands-on experience with robotic-assisted systems for precision, safety, and improved outcomes.
  • Minimally Invasive Approaches: Training in advanced laparoscopic resections, reconstruction, and organ-sparing techniques.
  • Multidisciplinary Exposure: Work alongside gastroenterology, pathology, radiology, and oncology departments for integrated treatment planning.
  • Research & Innovation: Opportunities to engage in clinical studies, publications, and robotic outcomes research.
  • Academic Growth: Participation in tumor boards, teaching programs, and surgical workshops.
  • Career Pathways: Prepare for leadership roles in GI oncology, robotic surgery programs, or academic institutions globally.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the fellowship, participants will be able to:

  • Perform complex GI oncologic resections using open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches.
  • Apply evidence-based protocols for the management of gastrointestinal cancers.
  • Understand surgical anatomy and principles of minimally invasive and robotic oncology.
  • Manage perioperative care and enhance postoperative recovery.
  • Conduct clinical research and contribute to surgical innovation.
  • Lead multidisciplinary teams in GI oncology practice.

Eligibility:

MS / DNB in General Surgery or Surgical Oncology (Experience in GI surgery or laparoscopic procedures preferred)

FAQs:

Candidates with MS/DNB in General Surgery or Surgical Oncology are eligible. Prior experience in laparoscopic or GI surgeries is desirable.

You will gain advanced training in GI cancer surgeries, robotic procedures, and multidisciplinary management of gastrointestinal malignancies.

The fellowship typically lasts 12 months, combining hospital-based clinical rotations, surgical assistance, and robotic console exposure.

Yes. Fellows receive structured training in robotic systems, including simulation-based learning and supervised console time.

Graduates can pursue careers as GI surgical oncologists, robotic surgeons, or academic faculty in premier cancer institutes in India and abroad.
