About The Doctor
- A corporate hospital in the state of Uttar Pradesh performed the state’s first robotic radical prostatectomy and robotic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urine diversion.
- Dr. Ahluwalia has played a key role in the establishment of robotic surgery programs at several centers in India. He is one of the very few qualified proctors for Intuitive Surgicals (Da Vinci Robots) in the nation. Numerous renowned urologists across the country have received his difficult UroOncological surgery training.
- The Urological Society of India (USI) has recognized Dr. Ahluwalia as a Program Director and given him a one-year clinical fellowship program in Robotic UroOncology, one of the first in the nation.
- Dr. Ahluwalia is the Director and HOD for Robotic Surgery and Uro Oncology. Prior to that, he served as Director of Urologic Oncology and Robotics at the Max Institute of Cancer Care in New Delhi’s Saket, Max Vaishali, and Patparganj. He is one of the few robotic surgeons in India who has received fellowship training in robotic urology and uro-oncology. He has extensive expertise performing cutting-edge robotic surgery at prestigious national and international institutions to treat urological malignancies. He has extensive training in advanced robotic urology from the University of Miami in the United States and has extensive expertise in the field of advanced robotic surgery for the treatment of urological cancers from the best national and international institutes. Since the beginning of robotic surgery’s development in India, he has been carrying out difficult robotic uro-oncological treatments. In his capacity as a console surgeon, he has carried out more than a thousand robotic procedures, including the robotic radical prostatectomy, robotic partial nephrectomy, robotic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal diversion, robotic adrenalectomy, robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and robotic VEIL (video endoscopic inguinal lymph node dissection). In addition to traditional open uro-oncological surgical treatments, he is skilled in performing minimally invasive techniques for urological cancers, such as laparoscopic and endourological surgeries.
He holds the distinction of completing the first robotic radical prostatectomy and robotic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion at any corporate hospital in the state of Uttar Pradesh. He also assisted in the establishment of Max Vaishali’s department of robotic urooncology. Dr. Ahluwalia has played a key role in establishing robotic surgery programs at several centers in India. He is one of the very few qualified proctors for Intuitive Surgical USA (Da Vinci Robots) in the nation. Numerous renowned urologists across the country have received his difficult robotic uro-oncological operation training. The Urological Society of India (USI) has approved Dr. Ahluwalia as the Program Director for a distinguished one-year clinical fellowship in robotic urooncology. His dedication to giving patients with urological malignancies the best care possible drives his professional practice. His enthusiasm for research is a result of his conviction that using evidence-based practice in robotic surgery and urologic oncology is crucial. He has published a number of publications in national and international journals and is actively engaged in research. He has presented his work and received numerous honors on both national and international stages. He reviews for numerous international periodicals that are peer-reviewed. Additionally, he oversees the Delhi Uro-Oncology Forum.
