Ashutosh Mishra, Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncologist and Associate Professor, at AIIMS Delhi, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Thrilled to share a milestone in IASO-NOGU collaboration! ( New IASO – NOGU Robotic Fellowship and exchange program).
I recently visited the Northern Esophageal – Gastric Unit (NOGU) at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom – the oldest and largest unit dedicated to esophageal and gastric cancer surgery, established over 35 years ago with roots tracing back to pioneering surgeons Grey Turner and Rutherford Morrison.
Dr Grey Turner, a master of esophageal surgery who performed one of the first successful transhiatal esophagectomies, and Morrison, his mentor at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, laid the groundwork for NOGU’s excellence. Founded by the visionary Mr. Michael Griffin and now led by Prof. Arul Immanuel, NOGU continues this legacy with an outstanding academic fellowship in robotic esophago-gastric surgeries.
I had an incredible experience! I and picked up valuable new robotic tricks for esophageal and gastric surgeries and had the chance to coordinate our IASO-NOGU fellow exchange program with Prof. Arul Immanuel.
This year, one Indian fellow selected by the Indian Association of Surgical Oncology (IASO) will visit NOGU for 2-4 weeks. This visit is supported by both IASO and NOGU-advancing surgical oncology training and international collaboration!
I also had a great time with Dr Adam Critchley , an Oncoplastic and breast reconstruction surgeon at RVI New Castle.
I am deeply grateful to the current and past Indian Association of Surgical Oncology (IASO) leadership for believing in me to lead this collaboration. Thank you all!”
