I am also the Director of Surya Kidney Centre, Chaitanya puri, Hyderabad I consider myself fortunate for starting my training in urology in Sri Satya Sai institute Puttaparthi under Prof H S Bhat, who is considered as Father of Indian urology. He inspired me to work in academic institutes where there are opportunities for teaching and constant learning. I started the department of Urology at Narayana Medical College Nellore, where I worked for 10 years as a Professor and Head of the department of urology. I was instrumental in starting the MCh Urology postgraduate training program in this institute. I conducted many training programs and live operative workshops in Narayana medical college. My passion has always been teaching and research. I jointly worked with NCRM, a Japanese institute in regenerative medicine and developed a cell-based therapy for urethral stricture called BEES-HAUS therapy. I also developed a new technique for treating urinary bladder stones which I named PerBT CLT. Another innovation is Pneumorenum, a technique to facilitate easy dissection during lap nephrectomy in giant hydronephrotic kidney. All the above innovations are published in urology journals. I had started an online course on research methodology and biostatistics for urology postgraduate students while I served as the Hon. Secretary of the Association of Southern Urologists (ASU). Due to its high popularity, the course was offered again in subsequent year. I also had a key role in the launch of the ASU journal, which we called JASU (Journal of Association of Southern Urologists). I am elected as the Chairman-Elect for the Indian School of Urology, a Prestigious body under Urological Society of India. Through the Indian School of Urology I conduct training programs, mock examinations and cadaver training programs for urology postgraduates and urology consultants.
