Why Patients Trust KIMS Urology
Unmatched transplant experience
1,500+ kidney transplants — one of South India's highest volumes
Complex cases are our everyday
Our transplant team has performed over 1,500 kidney transplants including live donor, deceased donor, and ABO-incompatible (blood group mismatched) transplants that most centres in South India cannot perform. High volume means our surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and transplant coordinators have seen and managed the complications that other teams encounter only rarely. When you come to KIMS for a transplant, you benefit from that depth of experience.
Robotic and laser precision
Da Vinci Xi & X robotic systems · 100W+ Holmium and Thulium lasers
Smaller cuts, less pain, faster home
KIMS operates Da Vinci Xi and X robotic surgical systems the most advanced available for complex prostate, kidney, and bladder operations. Our laser unit uses high-power Holmium and Thulium laser technology for kidney stone surgery (RIRS, HoLEP) that fragments even the hardest stones without bleeding. These are the same technologies used at leading international medical centres. For patients, this translates directly into smaller incisions, significantly less blood loss, and discharge within 1 to 3 days for most procedures.
Complete kidney care, one campus
Dialysis · Transplant · Stones · Cancer · Nephrology — all in one institute
No referrals between hospitals
At KIMS Secunderabad, your nephrologist, urologist, transplant surgeon, dialysis team, and renal dietitian are all in the same building. If your kidney condition is complicated by diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease those specialists are also immediately accessible within the same 1,000-bed campus. You do not need to manage care across multiple hospitals. One team, one location, one continuous care plan.
Accessible and transparent
NABH accredited · Aarogyasri & EHS empanelled · All major insurance accepted
Quality care that is financially reachable
KIMS is NABH accredited the highest national quality certification for hospitals in India, covering clinical safety, infection control, and patient care standards. We accept all major private health insurance providers, and are empanelled under Aarogyasri (PMJAY) and the Employees' Health Scheme (EHS) making specialist kidney and urological care financially accessible to a wide range of patients. Our billing team will verify your insurance coverage and explain costs before any procedure.
Technology & Innovation at KIMS Renal Sciences
The technology your surgeon uses directly affects your recovery. At KIMS, we invest in specific, named systems not generic 'advanced equipment' so that patients understand exactly what they are getting and why it matters.
South India’s First & Only TULSA-PRO Centre
KIMS Renal Sciences is South India's first and only centre offering TULSA-PRO (Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation) the world's most advanced incision-free treatment for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).
TULSA-PRO delivers precisely controlled ultrasound energy directly to diseased prostate tissue through the urethra (the natural urinary passage), while simultaneously protecting the surrounding nerves, bladder, and rectum using real-time MRI guidance. The entire procedure takes place inside an MRI scanner so the surgeon can see exactly what is being treated in real time.
What this means for patients:
- No surgical incision — treatment through natural urinary passage
- No radiation — unlike external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy
- Real-time MRI guidance — precise treatment
- Preservation of urinary and sexual function
- Most patients return home the same day or next morning
- Suitable for prostate cancer and BPH cases
Who is eligible?
TULSA-PRO is most suited for men with localised prostate cancer or moderate-to-severe BPH who want an effective treatment without surgery, radiation, or the side effects associated with radical prostatectomy. A consultation with our uro-oncology team will determine suitability.
Know More About TULSA-PRODa Vinci Robotic Surgical System
TECH: Xi and XKIMS operates both the Da Vinci Xi and Da Vinci X robotic surgical systems the two most advanced platforms in the Da Vinci range. These systems give our surgeons a 10x magnified, three-dimensional view of the operating field and articulating robotic instruments that can perform movements with sub-millimetre precision far beyond what the human hand alone can achieve in a small surgical space. At KIMS, Da Vinci robotic surgery is used for radical prostatectomy (prostate cancer removal), partial and radical nephrectomy (kidney tumour surgery), pyeloplasty (repair of kidney-ureter junction blockage), radical cystectomy (bladder removal), and complex reconstructive urological procedures. Most patients are discharged within 1 to 3 days and return to normal activity within 2 to 3 weeks.
Advanced Laser Unit
TECH: 100W+ Holmium and Thulium LasersOur laser theatre is equipped with high-power Holmium and Thulium laser systems the gold standard for two of the most common urological procedures: RIRS (Retrograde Intra-Renal Surgery) for kidney stones and HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) for enlarged prostate. Holmium laser energy pulverises kidney stones into fine dust that passes out naturally even the hardest calcium oxalate or cystine stones. Because the laser works through a flexible telescope passed via the natural urinary passage, no incision is required at all for RIRS. The procedure is safe even for patients on blood thinners who cannot safely undergo conventional stone surgery. For prostate enlargement, HoLEP uses laser energy to remove the entire obstructing prostate tissue achieving results equivalent to open surgery, without any incision.
Dedicated Transplant Operation Theatres
TECH: Class-100 Laminar FlowKIMS operates dedicated Class-100 Laminar Flow Operation Theatres specifically reserved for kidney transplant surgery. Class-100 laminar flow means the air in the operating theatre is filtered to contain fewer than 100 airborne particles per cubic foot a standard that dramatically reduces the risk of surgical site infection, which is particularly critical for immunosuppressed transplant recipients. The theatres are also equipped with advanced Hemodiafiltration (HDF) machines, providing superior toxin clearance during surgery for patients with complex pre-transplant conditions.
Decades of Clinical Firsts : Our Timeline
Establishment of the Renal Sciences Department
1980sKIMS establishes a dedicated Urology and Nephrology unit at its Secunderabad campus, one of the earliest specialist kidney and urology departments in the region. The foundation of what would become the Institute of Renal Sciences & Advanced Urology.
First Live-Donor Kidney Transplant at KIMS Secunderabad
2000sA landmark milestone. Our transplant team performs the first live-donor kidney transplant at KIMS Secunderabad the beginning of a programme that has now completed over 1,500 successful kidney transplants, including cadaveric and ABO-incompatible cases.
Da Vinci Robotic Surgery Programme Launched
2010sKIMS becomes an early adopter of Da Vinci robotic surgery in South India, bringing robotic-assisted prostatectomy, nephrectomy, and pyeloplasty to patients in Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The programme has since expanded to include the Xi and X systems — the most advanced in the Da Vinci range.
