About Dr. K. V. R. Prasad
Dr. K. V. R. Prasad is a senior urologist with 28 years of specialist practice spanning endourology, laparoscopic urology, kidney transplantation, andrology, and reconstructive urology. He is currently the Consultant Urologist, Andrologist and Kidney Transplant Surgeon at KIMS Institute of Renal Sciences & Advanced Urology, Secunderabad, where he has built and leads one of the most comprehensive stone surgery programmes in the region.
Trained at one of India's most respected postgraduate institutions — both his MS in General Surgery and MCh in Urology from PGIMER, Chandigarh — Dr. Prasad developed his surgical foundation in a centre that set standards for Indian urological training. PGIMER Chandigarh is a high-volume tertiary referral centre where residents manage the full spectrum of complex urological conditions under direct consultant supervision, providing the depth of exposure that defines a specialist's practice for decades to come.
Dr. Prasad's specific interest is in minimally invasive urology — endourology, laparoscopic urology, and kidney transplantation. He has established KIMS Secunderabad as a pioneer Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) centre, making it the reference centre for complex kidney stone disease in the region. Over 28 years of practice, his transplant work has included 140+ kidney transplant surgeries in a three-year period — reflecting a high-volume transplant programme that operates at a pace few centres in Hyderabad match.
His andrological practice covers the full spectrum of male urological health — erectile dysfunction, male infertility (including surgical sperm retrieval and microsurgical varicocelectomy), and the management of complex prostate disease. He was one of the early adopters of HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) in Hyderabad — a definitive treatment for BPH with no size limit — and has built significant experience in RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) using flexible ureteroscopy for intrarenal stone disease.
Areas of clinical expertise
Endourology & Stone Surgery
Dr. Prasad performs the complete endourological procedure spectrum for kidney and ureteric stone disease. KIMS Secunderabad is the region's pioneer PCNL centre — the technique he established here made large stone disease manageable without open surgery for a generation of patients in Hyderabad.
- PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) — for stones above 20mm, staghorn calculi, and cases not clearable endoscopically. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous access, nephroscopy, and fragmentation.
- Mini-PCNL — smaller tract, less morbidity. For complex stones with anatomy unsuitable for RIRS.
- RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) — flexible ureteroscopy with holmium laser for kidney stones up to 20mm. No incision. Day-care in most cases.
- Ureteroscopy (URSL) — for ureteric stones. Rigid or semi-rigid ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation.
- ESWL — shock wave lithotripsy for appropriate stone size and location.
Kidney Transplant
Dr. Prasad's kidney transplant programme at KIMS covers living donor, deceased donor, and ABO-incompatible transplantation. He has performed 140+ transplant recipient surgeries in a 3-year period, supporting one of Hyderabad's most active kidney transplant programmes alongside the KIMS nephrology team.
- Living donor kidney transplant — laparoscopic donor nephrectomy with open recipient surgery.
- Deceased donor kidney transplant — full cadaveric programme coordinated with the KIMS transplant team.
- ABO-incompatible transplant — desensitisation, plasmapheresis, and immunosuppression management.
- Pre-transplant surgical evaluation and management of post-transplant urological complications.
HoLEP & Prostate Surgery
For BPH, Dr. Prasad performs HoLEP — Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate — a size-independent, definitive surgical treatment for prostate enlargement. HoLEP has no size limit, produces minimal bleeding, and provides durable outcomes superior to TURP over the long term. For appropriate cases, TURP remains available and is performed with equally rigorous technique.
- HoLEP — definitive enucleation for prostates of any size, with low retreatment rates at long-term follow-up.
- TURP — monopolar or bipolar resection for suitable prostate volumes.
- Open retropubic prostatectomy — for very large prostates where laser enucleation is not preferred.
- Evaluation and management of bladder outlet obstruction and its complications.
Andrology
Dr. Prasad's andrological practice addresses the full male urological health spectrum — erectile dysfunction evaluation and management, male infertility (including varicocele repair and surgical sperm retrieval for ART), low testosterone management, and complex reconstructive urology for urethral stricture disease including buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty.
Laparoscopic Urology
Laparoscopic procedures including radical and partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty for UPJ obstruction, donor nephrectomy, and complex upper tract reconstruction. Dr. Prasad has adopted minimally invasive approaches progressively across his practice — replacing open surgery for most standard urological procedures where oncological and anatomical considerations permit.
Paediatric Urology
Management of paediatric urological conditions including hydronephrosis, undescended testicles (orchidopexy), vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), hypospadias repair, and congenital urological anomalies. Paediatric urology at KIMS is managed within the urology department in close coordination with the paediatric renal team.
