Laparoscopic Urology at Charak Hospital

Laparoscopic (keyhole) urology uses 3–5 small incisions (5–12 mm) and a high-definition camera to perform complex urological operations with the same precision as open surgery — but with significantly less trauma, faster recovery and minimal scarring. Dr. Kanishk Dokania performs the full spectrum of laparoscopic urological procedures at Charak Hospital, Lucknow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Multiple randomised trials have confirmed that laparoscopic nephrectomy achieves equivalent oncological outcomes (survival, recurrence rates) compared to open surgery, with significantly faster recovery, less pain and smaller scars. Dr. Dokania performs both laparoscopic and open approaches based on tumour characteristics.
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty corrects ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) — a blockage where the kidney joins the ureter, causing hydronephrosis (fluid-filled kidney). The blocked segment is excised and the kidney re-connected to the ureter. Success rate exceeds 95%. Hospital stay: 2–3 days. Full recovery: 2–3 weeks.
Laparoscopic surgery may not be suitable for: very large tumours with vascular involvement, dense adhesions from multiple previous surgeries, haemodynamic instability in emergencies, or when intraoperative complications require conversion. Dr. Dokania assesses feasibility for each patient and discusses both options before surgery.
