Dr. Nitesh Jain — Senior Consultant in Chennai

Dr. Nitesh Jain is a Senior Consultant at Apollo Hospital, Chennai, with more than 15 years of experience. His profile records urology together with urological cancers.

His list is endourology and reconstruction. He performs kidney stone surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ureteroscopy, transurethral resection of prostate and laser prostate surgery for BPH or enlarged prostate, and on the reconstructive side urethroplasty and hypospadias repair, with management of urinary incontinence alongside them.

His examination record is a run of firsts. He passed with distinction in the first, second and third parts of MBBS, came first in the university in surgery, and first in the university in M.Ch urology.

His presented work is almost entirely laparoscopic, which is notable given how much of his listed practice is endoscopic. He has worked on laparoscopic seminal vesical sparing radical prostatectomy using a low energy source, reporting better continence and potency. At the Asian Congress of Urology in New Delhi in 2008 he presented laparoscopic radical cystectomy with extracorporeal urinary diversion, and a laparoscopic approach for the repair of lower ureteric injuries due to gynecological surgeries. At USICON in Agra in 2010 he reported a series of 218 cases of retroperitoneal ureterolithotomy performed over nine years, which is the stone surgery on his list carried out by an open retroperitoneal route.

He practises at Apollo Hospitals on Greams Road and at Apollo Firstmed Hospital, both in Chennai.
