She has a Diploma in Laparascopic Surgery from the University of Strasbourg, France.
She has always had an interest in minimally invasive surgery and female urology and has managed to successfully marry the two disciplines now. She is the only CIS female surgeon offering laparascopic sacrocolpopexy in Johannesburg for the last several years. Near future plans are to extend this service to robotic surgery.
She is certified in novel technique of Rezum of the prostate, prostatic stents and training in laser of the prostate.
Dr Reddy completed he undergraduate degree from the University of Natal (2003) then did her internship at King Edward Hospital. It was here that her love of surgery first began. A firm believer in serving her community and country, she then performed her community service in a rural hospital in Mpumalanga before she began her training at Chris Hani Baragwanath and the then Johannesburg General Hospitals.
Thirusha was the first Indian female to graduate as a Urologist from the University of Witwatersrand. She remained on staff as the only female consultant for a further 8 years to show more women this is possible. She has an in depth understanding of the challenges facing women and minorities in a career in surgery.
As a wife, mother and a urologist, she is indeed a very rare breed. She has often said to mentees that finding the balance in life holds the key to success and happiness. She is passionate about Taekwondo, horse riding, travel and reading. Her caring and compassionate nature has endeared to her patients, colleagues and students.
Dr Reddy has practiced in both the public and private sectors making her aware of the unique problems facing each sector.
Despite being a unicorn in her field, and several achievements to date, Dr Reddy is remarkably humble. A constant theme in her reviews is her affable nature and relatability.
