Volume, precision and judgement
Dr. Abhigna Panda is a Consultant Urologist and Renal Transplant Surgeon whose career spans over ten years of surgical training and independent practice across high-volume tertiary care centres in Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Gurugram, Chennai and Mumbai.
The practice covers the complete continuum of urological care — from routine outpatient consultation and stone disease through to complex genitourinary cancer surgery and high-risk kidney transplantation. Six subspecialties are practised, each backed by independent operative volume.
- {ic('checkc')}Fellow of the European Board of Urology — the qualification that benchmarks Indian practice against European standards.
- {ic('checkc')}Transplant pathway managed in-house — donor evaluation, recipient workup, surgery and long-term follow-up under one team.
- {ic('checkc')}Evidence-based and patient-centred — active in clinical research, teaching and multidisciplinary tumour board practice.
A caseload weighted towards the technically demanding
Volumes as recorded in Dr. Panda’s curriculum vitae. High-risk, repeat and incompatible transplants make up a substantial share of the transplant cohort.
From first consultation to long-term follow-up
Initial consultation
A full history and examination, a review of everything you already have, and an honest account of what the findings do and do not tell us.
Investigation
Only the imaging and tests that will change the plan — ultrasound, CT urography, MRI, urodynamics, cystoscopy or biopsy as indicated.
Planning & tumour board
Cancer and complex transplant cases are discussed at a multidisciplinary tumour board before any recommendation is made.
Surgery
Open, laparoscopic or robot-assisted, selected on what suits your anatomy and disease — not on what is fashionable.
Follow-up
The same surgeon reviews your recovery, and transplant recipients are followed for the long term rather than handed on.
What Dr. Panda treats
Adult urology across the full spectrum. Select a condition to read about its symptoms, how it is assessed and what the treatment options actually involve.
Kidney failure & transplant assessment
When kidney function falls far enough to need dialysis or a transplant, the decision is about timing as much as technique.
Symptoms and treatmentKidney & ureteric stones
From a single calculus to complex staghorn and multi-tract stone burdens, cleared by the least invasive route that will actually work.
Symptoms and treatmentProstate cancer
Diagnosis, staging and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, with treatment planned through a multidisciplinary tumour board.
Symptoms and treatmentKidney cancer
Partial and radical nephrectomy, with nephron-sparing surgery wherever the tumour allows it.
Symptoms and treatmentRequest an independent review
A second opinion is not a challenge to your current team — it is a standard part of good care, particularly before major cancer surgery or a transplant decision. Bring your reports and imaging, and you will get an honest read of what they show.
- An independent read of your scans, biopsy and blood results
- Whether the proposed operation is the right one for your anatomy and stage
- Whether a less invasive option would achieve the same result
- Realistic functional outcomes — continence, potency, kidney function
- What happens if you choose to wait, and what that would cost you
- A written summary you can take back to your original team
Refer a complex case
- High-risk, repeat or ABO-incompatible transplant candidates
- Complex staghorn and multi-tract stone disease
- Redo urethroplasty and genitourinary fistula after failed repair
- Locally advanced or recurrent genitourinary malignancy
- Female urethral stricture and pelvic floor reconstruction
- Patients declined surgery elsewhere on technical grounds
