Department of Urology & Renal Transplantation

General Information

Department of Urology took shape  in the year 1976 under the leadership of  a great visionary Dr. K.C.angwal. It was the first in the state of Rajasthan and one of the earliest to develop in the country. The department  took shaped  strides  under  the headship of  Dr. Gangwal and  many outer natural luminaries  of that time  visited the  department including  Dr. W.A Milner, Dr. Sachse, Dr. Nesbit, Dr. Roger Barnes, Dr. Zafar Khan and Dr. Arther Smith. Department had its six channel Urodynamics installed in 1979, the first of its kind in the country. Percutaneous  nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) started in 1985 under the guidance of Professor A. Smith, we do around 1000-1200 PCNL/year and have done  approximate 45000-50000 PCNLS which is probably the highest for any single centre. Live renal transplants started in the year 1994 and cadaveric transplantation in year 2015. Till now we have done around 550 live and 55 cadaveric transplantations. It has four major and one minor OT which seems six days in a week with 30-40 surgeries being done every day. We do all kinds of urologic surgeries including endoscopic, laparoscopic and open. The department has its ten MCh students every year, one of the largest in the country. It runs a teaching programme which is also transmitted online and has its own xautabo channel with all recordings. It has hosted twice the north zone (1995, 2006) and the national urological society of the India annual meeting (2002, 2018). Presently the department is being headed by senior professor Shivam Priyadarshi. Soon the department is going to be shifted in the new superspecality block. A new Dornier Lithotripter machine for ESWL has already been installed   and has started working, Subspecialty OPDs including Urooncology, Pediatric Urology, Andrology, stone clinic and transplant clinic will soon start in the new block. Our department has a good academic & research training program for M.Ch residents & has published many research papers in various reputed Medical Journals worldwide.
