Kidney transplantation
Dr. Sreedhar trained in renal transplant surgery at PGIMER, Chandigarh and has performed more than 1,100 kidney transplants. Patients with kidney failure and their donors are evaluated carefully before a transplant is planned, and followed up closely afterwards.
Minimally invasive surgery
Many urology problems can now be treated through the urine passage or through small keyhole cuts. Dr. Sreedhar completed a laparoscopic urology fellowship in Singapore and a robotic urology fellowship at Henry Ford Health System, Detroit. Less cutting usually means less pain and a quicker return to work.
Signs you should not ignore
- Blood in the urine, even once
- Severe pain in the side, back or groin

Common questions
When should I see a urologist?
See a urologist if you notice blood in your urine, pain in the side or lower back, burning or difficulty while passing urine, a weak stream, frequent urination at night, repeated urinary infections or a lump in the testis. These symptoms are common and often treatable, but they should be checked.
Can kidney stones be removed without open surgery?
In most cases, yes. Depending on the size and position of the stone, it can be treated with medicines, ureteroscopy with laser, or other endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques that avoid a large cut.
Is prostate enlargement the same as prostate cancer?
No. Benign prostate enlargement is very common as men get older and is not cancer. The symptoms can overlap, which is why a check-up with a urine test, PSA blood test and scan is advised.
Does the hospital do kidney transplants?
