Dr. Deepak Krishnappa is a Urologist, Uro-Oncologist and Robotic Surgeon in Bengaluru with 14 years of experience in managing complex urological conditions, including cancers affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs.
His clinical expertise includes open, laparoscopic, robotic and endourological surgery. He has a particular interest in robotic surgery for urological cancers and minimally invasive approaches designed to support precise surgical treatment and postoperative recovery.
Dr. Deepak Krishnappa completed his MBBS followed by MS in General Surgery and MCh in Urology. He subsequently completed advanced fellowship training in Uro-Oncology and Robotic Surgery through the Intuitive Foundation and HCG.
His uro-oncology experience includes the surgical management of prostate and bladder cancers, including robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and advanced bladder cancer procedures. His broader urology practice also includes endourological procedures, kidney stone management and reconstructive treatment for selected urinary tract conditions.
Alongside clinical practice, Dr. Deepak Krishnappa has contributed to peer-reviewed research in robotic urology, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney stone surgery and reconstructive urology and has presented his work at national and international scientific meetings.
Uro-oncology focuses on the diagnosis and surgical management of cancers involving organs such as the prostate, bladder, kidneys and other parts of the urinary system.
Robotic urologic surgery uses advanced robotic technology to assist minimally invasive cancer procedures with enhanced visualisation and precise instrument control.
Prostate cancer surgery may involve removal of the prostate gland and selected surrounding tissues when surgery is clinically appropriate based on disease stage and individual patient factors.
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used for selected patients with prostate cancer to remove the prostate using robotic surgical assistance.
Bladder cancer surgery ranges from endoscopic treatment of selected superficial tumours to more extensive surgery for muscle-invasive or high-risk disease.
Radical cystectomy involves removal of the urinary bladder for selected high-risk or muscle-invasive bladder cancers and may be followed by urinary reconstruction.
Neobladder reconstruction creates a new urinary reservoir from a segment of intestine following bladder removal in appropriately selected patients.
Laparoscopic urologic surgery uses small incisions and specialised instruments for selected urinary tract procedures while reducing tissue disruption compared with traditional open surgery.
Endourology uses specialised instruments introduced through the urinary tract or small access channels to diagnose and treat selected urinary conditions without large surgical incisions.
Kidney stone surgery may be recommended when stones are large, obstructive, recurrent or unsuitable for conservative treatment.
PCNL is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove selected large or complex kidney stones through a small access tract into the kidney.
Urethral stricture treatment aims to restore urine flow when scar tissue narrows the urethra, with the surgical approach selected according to the location and extent of narrowing.
