Head & Neck oncology continues to evolve with advancements in technology, precision medicine, and minimally invasive surgical approaches. Among these, robotic surgery has emerged as a game-changer, offering enhanced accuracy, reduced morbidity, and improved functional outcomes for patients. In a country like India, where head and neck cancers form nearly one-third of the total cancer burden, the demand for surgeons trained in both oncological and robotic expertise is rapidly increasing.
The Postdoctoral Fellowship in Head & Neck & Robotic Surgery at HCG is designed for surgical specialists who aspire to master advanced robotic techniques in oncological settings. This program integrates clinical excellence, research innovation, and hands-on robotic experience, preparing surgeons to lead the next generation of precision-driven cancer care.
Fellows will receive immersive exposure to robotic-assisted head and neck procedures, multidisciplinary tumor management, and patient-centered rehabilitation protocols. With guidance from internationally acclaimed robotic and oncological surgeons, participants will refine their surgical decision-making, technique, and clinical acumen.
At HCG, a recognized leader in advanced cancer care, fellows gain access to high-volume clinical practice, state-of-the-art robotic systems, and academic mentorship within a structured training environment.
This fellowship empowers surgeons to bring together art, science, and technology—enhancing survival outcomes and improving quality of life for patients.
By the end of the Postdoctoral Fellowship in Head & Neck & Robotic Surgery, fellows will be able to:
MCh / DNB (Surgical Oncology) or MCh / DNB (ENT, Head & Neck Surgery, or General Surgery)
Candidates must demonstrate strong surgical fundamentals and an interest in robotic oncology.
