With world-class robotic surgery systems and surgeons trained at leading international institutions, Indian urology centres deliver superior outcomes at a fraction of Western costs.

- Kidney stones causing pain or recurrent infections
- Difficulty urinating or weak urinary stream (prostate)
- Blood in urine (haematuria)

Urological surgery is indicated for symptomatic kidney stones that do not pass spontaneously, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) causing urinary obstruction, urological cancers, and structural abnormalities of the urinary tract.
Treatment Options
Robotic Prostatectomy (RARP)
Minimally invasive robotic removal of the prostate for prostate cancer, with superior functional outcomes.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
Keyhole procedure to remove large kidney stones through a small puncture in the back.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
Flexible ureterorenoscopy with laser lithotripsy for stones up to 2 cm without any incision.
Laparoscopic Nephrectomy
Minimally invasive kidney removal for kidney cancer or non-functioning kidneys.
URS (Ureteroscopy) & Laser Lithotripsy
Telescopic procedure to break and remove ureteric stones using holmium laser.
Estimated Cost in India
PCNL (kidney stones): $2,000–$3,500. Robotic prostatectomy: $4,000–$7,000. Compared to $15,000–$40,000 in the USA.
Recovery Time & Tips
Recovery Time: PCNL: 3–5 days hospital, 2 weeks at home. Robotic prostatectomy: 5–7 days hospital, 4–6 weeks full recovery.
- •Increase water intake to 2.5–3 litres per day for stone prevention
- •Dietary modifications based on stone composition analysis
- •Pelvic floor exercises post-prostatectomy for continence recovery
- •Avoid strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks post-major surgery
- •Regular follow-up urine tests and imaging as advised
