Home Department Urology
KG Hospital's Urology department brings MCh-trained urologists, cutting-edge laser technology (Holmium, Thulium), and minimally invasive laparoscopic expertise together for outstanding outcomes in kidney stone disease, prostate conditions, urological cancers, andrology, and paediatric urology.
The urinary system — kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra — along with the male reproductive organs forms the domain of urology. KG Hospital's Urology team manages everything from a painful kidney stone to complex uro-oncological surgery with equal precision, combining minimally invasive endourology, laparoscopy, and open surgical expertise.
Holmium laser RIRS, mini-PCNL, ureteroscopy, ESWL — tailored to stone size, location, and composition for maximum stone-free rates.
TURBT for bladder cancer, radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, nephrectomy for kidney cancer — with neoadjuvant oncology coordination.
Male sexual health, erectile dysfunction, male infertility semen analysis and treatment, Peyronie's disease, and testosterone deficiency.
Kidney stones affect 1 in 10 people in India. KG Hospital Coimbatore offers the complete spectrum of stone treatments — from outpatient medical dissolution to complex staghorn stone PCNL — matched to stone size, location, composition, and patient anatomy.
| Stone Size / Location | Preferred Procedure | Hospital Stay | Stone-Free Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| <5 mm — likely to pass | Medical expulsive therapy | Outpatient | ~80% |
| 5–15 mm kidney / ureter | RIRS (Holmium laser) | Day care | 95%+ |
| 15–25 mm kidney | RIRS or mini-PCNL | 1–2 days | 92–95% |
| >25 mm / Staghorn | Standard or mini-PCNL | 2–3 days | 85–90% |
| Ureteric stone <1 cm | Ureteroscopy + laser | Day care | 95%+ |
| Kidney stone — ESWL suitable | ESWL lithotripsy | Outpatient | 70–80% |
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects over 50% of men over 60. KG Hospital offers a spectrum from medical management to definitive laser and endoscopic surgery — with no compromise on continence or sexual function.
Bipolar TURP uses saline irrigation — eliminating TUR syndrome risk — and can be used in patients on anticoagulants. Resects obstructing prostate tissue through the urethra with no external incision. Immediate improvement in urinary flow post-operatively.
KG Hospital recommends baseline PSA testing from age 50 (45 if family history). Elevated PSA leads to TRUS-guided biopsy or mpMRI prostate for precise cancer localisation before biopsy decision. Gleason grading and staging guide treatment recommendation.
Cancers of the kidney, bladder, prostate, and testis require multidisciplinary care. KG Hospital's uro-oncology programme integrates urology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology for complete cancer management pathways.
Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour for diagnosis and treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. En-bloc TURBT technique available. BCG instillation for high-grade NMIBC.
Minimally InvasiveLaparoscopic or open radical cystectomy with ileal conduit or neobladder reconstruction for muscle-invasive bladder cancer — performed with uro-oncology coordination.
Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer. Nephron-sparing partial nephrectomy for tumours <4 cm — preserving kidney function.
LaparoscopicRadical prostatectomy (laparoscopic/robotic), combined with medical and radiation oncology for advanced disease. PSA monitoring and hormone therapy for metastatic disease.
Radical orchidectomy, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), and coordination with oncology for surveillance or chemotherapy.
Nephroureterectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis and ureter. Endoscopic management for low-grade upper tract disease.
The vast majority of urological procedures at KG Hospital are performed using minimally invasive techniques — smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to normal life.
Complex urological surgery performed through 3–4 small ports — equivalent to open surgery outcomes with dramatically less morbidity.
Entirely through the natural urinary passages — no incision, no scar, day-care or overnight admission.
Andrology is the branch of urology dedicated to male sexual and reproductive health. KG Hospital's Andrology clinic provides a confidential, non-judgemental environment for men seeking help with sensitive conditions.
Medical and surgical treatment: PDE5 inhibitors, vacuum erection devices, penile injections (ICI), penile prosthesis implantation for refractory ED.
Semen analysis, hormonal profile, scrotal Doppler for varicocele, surgical sperm retrieval (TESA/PESA), varicocelectomy, and coordination with fertility specialists.
Testosterone level assessment, TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy), Peyronie's disease management, and penile curvature surgery.
Children with urological conditions require specialist expertise in a child-friendly environment. KG Hospital's paediatric urology service — in close coordination with the Paediatrics department — manages the full spectrum of congenital and acquired conditions.
Single and multi-stage hypospadias repairs including MAGPI, TIP, Mathieu, and tubularised incised plate techniques.
Laparoscopic and open orchidopexy for undescended testes — recommended before age 18 months for optimal fertility outcomes.
Recommended Age <18moDismembered Anderson-Hynes laparoscopic pyeloplasty for pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction — the gold standard with 95%+ success rate.
Endoscopic STING procedure with Deflux injection or surgical ureteric reimplantation for high-grade VUR causing recurrent UTIs and renal scarring.
Ureteric colic, urinary retention, haematuria, or scrotal pain — call us immediately. Our emergency urology team is available 24 hours.
