International Training and Professional Journey

Dr. Kamble began his professional career in India, where he worked as an Assistant Professor at Jahangir Hospital and Apollo Research Centre. He subsequently returned to B. J. Medical College, Pune, as an Assistant Professor in General Surgery and Urology.

With sponsorship from the British Council, he travelled to the United Kingdom for advanced medical training. During his time in the UK, he completed his surgical qualifications and received extensive training within the National Health Service (NHS), gaining valuable experience in general surgery and specialised urological procedures.

His international training also includes The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, a major tertiary referral and teaching hospital. Furthermore, he travelled to France and Germany to pursue specialised postgraduate education in minimally invasive surgery, robotic urology, pelvic floor surgery and reconstructive procedures.

His professional journey across India, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France and Belgium has provided him with broad international exposure to advanced surgical practices and modern approaches to urological care.

Specialisation in Advanced Urological Treatments

Dr. Subodh Kamble specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of various complex urological conditions. His expertise includes advanced surgical procedures and minimally invasive treatment techniques.

1. Drug-Coated Balloon Urethroplasty

One of Dr. Kamble's highlighted specialisations is Drug-Coated Balloon Urethroplasty. Urethral stricture is a condition in which the urethra becomes narrowed, potentially causing difficulty in passing urine, reduced urinary flow and other urinary complications.

Drug-coated balloon technology is an advanced treatment option for selected urethral strictures. It involves using a specially designed balloon to expand the narrowed area while delivering medication locally to help reduce the risk of recurrent narrowing.

2. Robotic and Laparoscopic Urological Surgery

Dr. Kamble has extensive postgraduate training in robotic and laparoscopic urological surgery. These advanced minimally invasive techniques allow surgeons to perform selected complex procedures using specialised instruments and enhanced visualisation. Depending on the condition, they may offer benefits such as smaller incisions, reduced surgical trauma and potentially faster recovery.

3. Prostate Cancer Treatment and 4D Brachytherapy

Prostate cancer treatment is another important area of Dr. Kamble's specialisation. He completed a one-year fellowship in Prostate Brachytherapy in the UK under Professor Stephen Langley, an internationally recognised expert in prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.

He also undertook additional advanced training in 4D Prostate Brachytherapy. This specialised technique uses stranded and loose radioactive seeds in a single-stage procedure with real-time dosimetry, aiming to improve radiation dose delivery to the prostate while reducing treatment-related side effects.

4. Urinary Incontinence and Neurogenic Bladder

Dr. Kamble specialises in managing complex urinary leakage problems, including urinary incontinence and neurogenic bladder conditions. These disorders can affect bladder control and significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Appropriate diagnosis and individualised treatment are important for managing these conditions effectively.

5. Female Urology and Reconstructive Surgery

His international training includes a two-year fellowship in Female Urology, Urological Upper Tract and Pelvic Robotic Surgery in the UK. He also holds a postgraduate qualification in Pelvic Floor and Reconstructive Surgery from Germany. His expertise covers specialised treatment approaches for female urological disorders, pelvic floor conditions and complex reconstructive procedures.

6. Urological Botox Procedures

Dr. Kamble also has expertise in urological Botox procedures. Botox injections may be used in selected bladder conditions, particularly overactive bladder, to help manage symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination and urge incontinence.

International Fellowships and Professional Memberships

Dr. Kamble has completed several specialised international fellowships:

• 2016: One-year Fellowship in Robotic Pelvic Uro-Oncology and 4D Prostate Brachytherapy, UK.

• 2013: Two-year Fellowship in Female Urology, Urological Upper Tract and Pelvic Robotic Surgery, UK.

• 2008: Specialised Fellowship in Urological Robotic Surgery.

His professional memberships and registrations include the British Association of Urological Surgeons, European Association of Urology, American Urological Association, General Medical Council, UK, Gujarat Medical Council and Australian Medical Board.

Research, Teaching and Clinical Achievements

Alongside his clinical responsibilities, Dr. Kamble actively contributes to medical education and professional development. He holds a postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Education from the UK and regularly supervises postgraduate surgical students, medical trainees, interns and medical students.

He has also contributed to medical research through publications in international peer-reviewed journals and written book chapters covering specialised medical subjects.

With over 20 years of professional experience, more than 27,000 reported successful surgeries, extensive international qualifications and specialised expertise in advanced urological treatments, Dr. Subodh Kamble continues to contribute to the fields of urology, uro-oncology and robotic surgery. His professional approach focuses on advanced treatment techniques, continuous medical learning and patient-centred urological care.
