Overview
Urology at Surgery Wallah
Urology covers problems of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate and urethra. Kidney stones and prostate enlargement are among the most common, and both can often be treated without large cuts.
Our urologist, Dr. Rakesh Kumar (MCh Urology), performs endoscopic, laser and laparoscopic procedures, from removing kidney stones through small punctures or natural passages to treating an enlarged prostate and repairing urethral strictures.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Have another question? Call or WhatsApp us and our team will help.
Ask on WhatsAppDo all kidney stones need surgery?
No. Small stones often pass with medicines and plenty of water. Larger or blocking stones may need a procedure.
Is laser stone surgery painful?
It is done under anaesthesia, and most patients have only mild discomfort afterwards.
How can I prevent kidney stones?
Drink enough water, limit salt and follow the diet advice your urologist gives based on your stone type.
Is prostate enlargement cancer?
Usually not. Benign enlargement is very common with age, but your urologist may advise tests to rule out other causes.
How long does a stent stay after stone surgery?
Usually from a few days to a few weeks. Your urologist will remove it at a short follow-up visit.
Will prostate surgery affect my urine control?
Most men recover normal control. Some may have temporary leakage that improves with time and pelvic exercises.
