Stone Disease Programme

Kidney Stone Treatment — From Dust to Discharge in Hours

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.

Prostate Conditions

Prostate Care — BPH, Cancer & Prostatitis

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.

01
Bipolar TURP
Gold standard surgical treatment for BPH — safe in all patients
Gold Standard+

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.

No external incision — entirely through the urethra
Bipolar = safe for patients on blood thinners
Discharge in 1–2 days; catheter removed day 3–5
02
PSA Testing & Prostate Cancer Screening
Early detection saves lives
Recommended 50++

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.

PSA + Digital Rectal Examination annually from age 50
mpMRI prostate before biopsy — reduces unnecessary biopsies
TRUS biopsy or MRI-fusion biopsy available

Yes. KG Hospital offers laparoscopic nephrectomy and nephron-sparing partial nephrectomy for kidney tumours — smaller incision, less blood loss, earlier discharge, and equivalent oncological outcomes to open surgery.
What is RIRS kidney stone surgery? +
RIRS uses a flexible ureteroscope passed through the natural urinary tract — no incision — with Holmium laser to dust or fragment kidney stones. Day-care procedure, return to work in 2–3 days. Available at KG Hospital Coimbatore for stones up to 2 cm.
