From kidney stone removal and robotic prostatectomy to kidney transplant and bladder cancer surgery — Sultan GHC connects U.S. patients with fellowship-trained urologists at JCI-accredited hospitals operating da Vinci robotic systems, Holmium lasers, and full urodynamic suites.
From kidney stones and BPH to prostate cancer and kidney transplant — partner hospitals manage the complete spectrum of urological conditions.
Minimally invasive, robotic, and open urological procedures performed with international-standard equipment at JCI-accredited hospitals.
Minimally invasive keyhole surgery for large (>2 cm), staghorn, or complex kidney stones — performed under fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance. Mini-PCNL and ultra-mini PCNL techniques available at partner centers for smaller stones or cases requiring reduced nephron trauma.
Flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) with Holmium laser or Thulium fiber laser (TFL) lithotripsy for ureteric and renal stones — same-day or overnight procedure with no incision. RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) for stones within the kidney collecting system.
da Vinci robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for localized and locally advanced prostate cancer — performed at Apollo, Fortis, and Medanta hospitals operating full da Vinci Si and Xi systems. Nerve-sparing technique available for eligible patients. Outcomes data equivalent to leading U.S. robotic programs.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), Holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP), and GreenLight photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia — chosen based on prostate volume, surgeon expertise, and patient anatomy.
Full kidney transplant program for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In India, living donor kidney transplant is the primary modality; partner hospitals are NOTTO-compliant with full ethics committee oversight, structured donor workup, and 30-day post-transplant monitoring included. In Türkiye, kidney transplant is available at JCI-accredited hospitals in Istanbul under the supervision of the Turkish Ministry of Health; living donor transplants are permitted between relatives or spouses with Ethics Committee approval.
Laparoscopic or robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (nephron-sparing) and radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma — performed with 3D laparoscopic or da Vinci robotic systems. Retroperitoneal approach available for select cases.
Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for diagnosis and initial treatment of bladder cancer — with en-bloc resection technique available at select centers. Cystoscopy, BCG intravesical therapy, and radical cystectomy (robotic or open) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Flexible and rigid cystoscopy for hematuria evaluation, bladder tumor surveillance, stricture assessment, and urethral pathology. Narrow-band imaging (NBI) cystoscopy for enhanced flat lesion detection available at select partner hospitals.
Microsurgical varicocelectomy, testicular sperm extraction (TESE/microTESE) for azoospermia, vasectomy reversal (vasovasostomy), and sperm retrieval for IVF — performed by andrology-trained urologists. See also our Fertility & IVF page.
Urethroplasty (buccal mucosal graft, end-to-end anastomosis) and optical urethrotomy for urethral stricture disease — with penile rehabilitation and uroflowmetry follow-up. Reconstructive urology expertise available at select Apollo and Fortis centers.

RALP using da Vinci in the U.S. costs $15,000–$50,000 for self-pay patients. At JCI-accredited hospitals in India with da Vinci systems (Apollo, Fortis, Medanta): $5,000–$12,000 — a saving of 75–90%. Türkiye: $7,000–$18,000.
PCNL in the U.S. costs $15,000–$50,000 (FAIR Health 2024). In India at a JCI hospital: $2,000–$5,000 — a saving of 85–90%. Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for smaller stones: $1,500–$4,000 India vs $8,000–$25,000 U.S.
Kidney transplant in the U.S. costs $150,000–$400,000. In India: $13,000–$22,000 — a saving of over 90%. India performs thousands of kidney transplants annually. Partner programs are NOTTO-compliant with full donor workup and 30-day post-transplant monitoring.
Yes. TURP, HoLEP, and GreenLight PVP are all available at JCI partner hospitals. TURP costs $1,500–$4,000 India vs $10,000–$30,000 U.S. HoLEP (better for large prostates) is similarly priced.
Yes. Sultan GHC coordinates the full prostate cancer pathway — PSA workup, mpMRI, biopsy, RALP, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy. A free second opinion from a urological oncologist can be arranged within 24–48 hours.
Ureteroscopy (URS) is often same-day or overnight — 3–5 days total in India. PCNL requires 5–8 days. Robotic prostatectomy 7–10 days. Kidney transplant 21–30 days for surgery, monitoring, and flying clearance.
