Reinforcing its leadership in advanced kidney care and transplantation, Medanta has appointed globally renowned urologist and transplant surgeon Dr Sanjay Gogoi as Chairman of Urology, Kidney Transplant, and Uro-Oncology at the Renal Care Institute in its flagship hospital Medanta, Gurugram.

With almost three decades of experience, Dr Gogoi is recognised globally for delivering outcomes on a par with international benchmarks in complex urological procedures and kidney transplants. His appointment bolsters Medanta’s capabilities to offer world-class, holistic, compassionate care in a patient-first way.

Trained in advanced robotic surgery at the da Vinci Training Center in California, Dr Gogoi is acclaimed the world over for management of challenging urological complications. He is sought-after for robotic kidney transplants in high-BMI patients and transplants requiring reconstructive techniques such as neobladders and augmentation cystoplasty. Notably, Dr Gogoi has led one of India’s largest series of paediatric kidney transplants and is widely acclaimed for managing congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT).

Dr Gogoi’s appointment will further enhance Medanta’s integrated approach to managing urinary cancers, combining his expertise in advanced minimally invasive (robotic and laparoscopic) treatment techniques, such as Retzius Sparing Robotic Prostatectomy and Robotic Partial Nephrectomy for large and complex kidney tumours, with cutting-edge diagnostics. 

Prior to joining Medanta, Dr Gogoi has headed the departments of Urology and Renal Transplantation at Apollo hospital (Colombo), Fortis Memorial Research Institute (Gurugram), Manipal Hospital (Delhi) and Max Super Speciality Hospital (Dwarka).
