The Apollo International Fellowship in Robotic Colorectal Surgery (AIFRCS) is a prestigious program designed to refine the skills of aspiring colorectal surgeons. Based at Apollo Hospital, Greams Road, Chennai, and Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, the fellowship offers hands-on training under the mentorship of world-renowned consultants, including Professor Venkatesh Munikrishnan. The program emphasizes robotic colorectal surgery techniques, providing exposure to over 700 robotic procedures performed by Apollo's expert team.
Key learning components include robotic surgeries like right hemicolectomy, low anterior resection, and ventral mesh rectopexy, alongside comprehensive colorectal disease management. Fellows will have access to state-of-the-art Da Vinci Xi systems and advanced simulation training. The program provides an opportunity to work in outpatient clinics that see over 2,500 colorectal cases annually. Fellows will also have access to a robotic surgery simulator, allowing them to refine their techniques before clinical application.
This fellowship fosters not only clinical excellence but also research and teaching skills. Fellows will contribute to multidisciplinary care, manage busy outpatient services, and mentor junior registrars. Additionally, the structured mentorship ensures that fellows can confidently perform independent procedures like anterior resections by the end of the program. Opportunities for international observership and collaboration with Cleveland Clinic London enrich the experience, preparing fellows for consultant roles in advanced colorectal surgery.
By the end of the program, participants will master advanced robotic colorectal techniques, develop leadership skills, and be well-prepared for consultant roles. The completion is marked by a certification from Apollo Hospitals, solidifying your credentials in one of the most sought-after surgical specialties.
