Dr ARUN PANACKAL

To be involved with modern techniques where I would be able to utilize my experience in all aspects of urology, rehabilitation, research and teaching, which would allow to grow both professionally and personally while exceeding all goals expected by the hospital. Always eager to contribute to the growth of progressive hospital with quality services; my education, experiences and inter-personal communication qualify with employees and patients equally.

I have been interested in Endourology (specifically stone surgery),till date I have performed more than 5000 stone surgeries which include more than 500 RIRS. I am always in mission in upgrading skills and updating knowledge by attending conferences and training courses
