Profile
Dr. K. V. R. Prasad is one of Hyderabad's most experienced urologists and kidney transplant surgeons — with over 28 years of specialist practice since completing his MCh Urology at PGIMER, Chandigarh. PGIMER (the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research) is India's most prestigious postgraduate medical and surgical training institution, consistently ranked number one nationally — an MCh Urology from PGIMER is the highest standard of urological surgical training available in India.
Dr. Prasad's career has taken him through some of Hyderabad's most prominent urology and transplant programmes — Prameela Kidney Center, Vasavi Hospital, Yashoda Hospital Somajiguda, and Century Hospital Banjara Hills — building a clinical volume across kidney transplantation, endourology (RIRS, PCNL), laser prostate surgery (HoLEP, TURP), laparoscopic urology, and andrological conditions over nearly three decades.
At KIMS Secunderabad, Dr. Prasad serves as Chief Transplant Surgeon & Urologist — a role that encompasses both the kidney transplant surgical programme and the full breadth of urological surgery. His PCNL expertise is particularly significant: KIMS was the pioneer of PCNL in India, and Dr. Prasad's surgical experience with the full range of percutaneous access sizes — from ultra-mini 4.8Fr through to standard 30Fr — reflects the institutional depth of this programme. His reconstructive urology and neuro-urology expertise, including urethral stricture surgery and the KIMS Neuro-Urology and Urodynamics Centre, completes a surgical scope that few individual urologists in India match.
