What kidney & urinary-tract surgery covers here
Here's the map. Find your problem, and follow the link to its detailed page.
| Condition | Treatment | Full page |
| Kidney stones (in the kidney) | PCNL / RIRS / ESWL matched to the stone | Kidney stone removal |
| Ureteric stones (in the ureter) | Ureteroscopy (URS) with laser no incision | Ureteric stone (URS) |
| Bladder stones | Cystolitholapaxy plus treating the cause | Bladder stone removal |
| Enlarged prostate (blocking the outlet) | TURP / laser | Prostate surgery (TURP) |
| Urethral stricture (narrowed urethra) | Dilation / urethrotomy / urethroplasty | Stricture urethra |
The minimally invasive approach
The great advantage of modern urinary surgery is that most of it is done through the urethra, a thin scope passed up the natural passage to reach the bladder, ureter or kidney, using a laser or fine instruments to clear a stone or relieve a blockage, with no external incision. Even stones deep in the kidney are usually reached through a single small keyhole (PCNL) rather than open surgery. A Kidney Surgeon Ahmedabad using these techniques can offer less pain, less bleeding, a shorter stay and a quicker return to normal life while achieving the same result as the older open operations. Open surgery is reserved for the few situations where it's genuinely safer.
When urinary surgery is urgent
Most urinary-tract surgery is planned, but two situations need prompt or emergency care: a blocked kidney or bladder with infection (fever with urinary symptoms a risk of sepsis, needing urgent drainage), and acute urinary retention (suddenly unable to pass urine, with a painful, full bladder needing a catheter). A stone silently obstructing a kidney also shouldn't be left, as back-pressure can gradually harm kidney function. If you have severe urinary pain with a fever, or can't pass urine, treat it as an emergency.
Transplant and cancer an honest word
Being straight about this matters. Some kidney and urinary conditions need the resources of a specialist centre, and we'll guide you to the right one rather than over-promise.
| Condition | Where it's best treated |
| Kidney transplant (for kidney failure) | A dedicated transplant centre with a nephrology team, donor programme and transplant unit we advise and refer |
| Kidney or bladder cancer | A uro-oncology / cancer centre for the specialised surgery and multidisciplinary care we advise and refer |
| Complex reconstructive urology | A specialist reconstructive unit where appropriate |

Frequently asked questions
What kidney and urinary surgeries does Tirtham do?+
Tirtham focuses on minimally invasive surgery for kidney, ureter and bladder stones and obstruction — including PCNL and RIRS for kidney stones, ureteroscopy (URS) for ureteric stones, cystolitholapaxy for bladder stones, and TURP for an enlarged prostate. Most are keyhole or endoscopic, done through the natural urinary passage with quick recovery. Each has its own detailed page.
Do you perform kidney transplants?+
Kidney transplantation is carried out at dedicated transplant centres, which have the nephrology teams, donor programmes and transplant units it requires — so we advise and refer patients to the right transplant centre rather than performing it in-house. If you're facing kidney failure, we can help you understand your options and reach the appropriate specialist team.
Do you treat kidney or bladder cancer?+
Urological cancers such as kidney and bladder cancer are best managed at uro-oncology or cancer centres, with specialised surgery and multidisciplinary (surgery, oncology, radiology) care. We help with assessment and ensure you're referred to the right cancer team promptly. Getting to the correct specialist centre quickly is what matters most with cancer.
Is urinary-tract surgery minimally invasive?+
Mostly, yes. Most stone and obstruction surgery is done endoscopically — a scope passed through the natural urinary passage, with no external incision — or through a single small keyhole (PCNL) for large kidney stones. This means less pain, less bleeding, a shorter stay and a quicker recovery than open surgery, which is reserved for the few cases where it's safer.
When is urinary surgery an emergency?+
A blocked kidney or bladder with a fever (an infected, obstructed system) is an emergency, with a risk of sepsis, needing urgent drainage. Suddenly being unable to pass urine, with a painful full bladder (acute retention), also needs urgent relief with a catheter. Even without these, a stone silently obstructing a kidney shouldn't be left, as it can harm kidney function.
What does kidney surgery in Ahmedabad cost, and which is the best kidney surgery hospital Ahmedabad?+
Cost is procedure-specific — for example, kidney-stone PCNL, ureteroscopy, cystolitholapaxy and TURP each have their own range (shown on their pages, generally covered by cashless mediclaim). The best kidney surgery hospital for you is one that matches the least-invasive effective treatment to your problem and is honest about referring complex cases. We give a case-specific estimate after assessment.
Who is a good Kidney Surgery Doctor Ahmedabad?+
A good Kidney Surgery Doctor Ahmedabad treats stones and obstruction through the least-invasive route, acts fast on an infected obstruction, and honestly refers transplant and cancer to specialist centres. At Tirtham, Dr. Alpesh Patel (MS) — 18+ years and 22,000+ surgeries — provides that minimally invasive, honest urinary-tract care.
