50 MCh Vascular Surgery Thesis Topics
Academic session 2026-2027 · 50 topics
This page lists 50 vascular surgery thesis topics for MCh, DrNB and FNB candidates in India for the 2026-2027 academic session. Two features shape the Indian vascular caseload: diabetic foot disease arriving at an advanced stage, and dialysis access work generated by the very large chronic kidney disease population.
The vascular surgery thesis topics below are weighted accordingly. They cover peripheral arterial disease and limb salvage, diabetic foot, haemodialysis access creation and maintenance, venous disease and varicose veins, aortic and peripheral aneurysm, vascular trauma, carotid disease and endovascular intervention.

Why is dialysis access such a productive research area in India?
Because the volume is large and the outcomes are short. A vascular unit at a hospital with an active dialysis programme creates arteriovenous fistulae continuously, and maturation, primary patency and early failure all declare within three months. That combination of numbers and short outcome horizon is rare in vascular surgery and makes access work well suited to a residency.
What outcomes are realistic in vascular surgery?
Technical success, primary patency at one and three months, limb salvage and amputation level, wound healing, ankle brachial index change, symptom relief on a validated scale, and thirty day complications. Long term graft patency, freedom from reintervention and survival need years and cannot be promised in a residency.
What sample size is realistic in vascular surgery?
Dialysis access and diabetic foot cases accumulate quickly and can support one to two hundred participants over eighteen months. Aortic aneurysm, carotid and complex endovascular caseloads are far smaller at most Indian centres, and studies there should be planned as descriptive series covering every case treated during the period.
Thesis and protocol questions
How is a thesis topic different from a thesis protocol?
The topic is the title — the question a study sets out to answer, together with the population and the design. The protocol is the full document built around it: background, review of literature, aims and objectives, inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample size calculation, methodology, statistical plan, ethics considerations, consent documents and references. A topic is agreed with a guide first; the protocol is written afterwards and submitted to the institutional ethics committee.
When does a postgraduate thesis have to be submitted?
For most Indian postgraduate programmes the protocol is submitted within the first six months of joining, and the completed thesis is submitted at least six months before the final examination. Exact deadlines are set by the university, so the departmental circular for the current session takes precedence over any general timeline.
How is sample size decided for a postgraduate thesis?
Sample size follows from the primary objective, not the other way round. A prevalence study is powered from an expected proportion and an acceptable margin of error; a comparative study is powered from the expected difference between groups, the standard deviation, alpha and desired power. The figure should then be checked against the institution's actual case load for the study period, because a statistically ideal sample that cannot be recruited in the time available is not a workable plan.
Does a thesis topic need ethics committee approval?
Yes. Every postgraduate thesis involving human participants, human data or human samples requires clearance from the institutional ethics committee before data collection begins. Approval is granted on the protocol rather than on the title, and the submission usually includes the protocol, the participant information sheet and the consent form in English and in the local language.
What makes a topic realistic for a three-year postgraduate programme?
A workable topic can be completed at a single centre, with equipment and investigations that are already available in routine practice, within roughly eighteen months of data collection. Topics that depend on external funding, specialised assays, multicentre coordination or long follow-up tend to stall. Choosing a condition the department already sees in volume matters more than choosing a novel one.
Can a thesis be published as a research paper afterwards?
Yes, and it is generally expected. A thesis is usually condensed into a paper of around three to four thousand words, restructured into the standard introduction, methods, results and discussion format, with the review of literature shortened considerably. Journals differ in their requirements, and the ethics approval number from the original thesis is normally cited in the methods section.
