Others were small stones (2 mm and 4 mm).
I started looking for urologist in pune and came to know about Dr. Suraj Lunavat. Checked reviews on Google as well as on Practo, so decided to consult him for both the stones.
Consulted Dr. Lunavat in Ratna hospital, and indeed, he is a gem of a person, very soft spoken, hears all our questions patiently, and then explains things using diagrams with pen and paper. He suggested getting x-ray done and stones were confirmed in that too. As the stones were still in kidney, it didn't give problem to me till now but they were big enough, so Dr. Lunavat suggested that, it is better if we get them removed otherwise if the stones come down in the ureter, the surgery will need to be done in emergency.
As there are multiple types of surgeries available for kidney stone removal, he suggested to go for RIRS as it is minimally invasive and has best stone free rate out of all the options.
He is very confident in his profession so the way he explained things to me, I was half relived already.
After few days I got CT as suggested by him to know exact location of stones and hardness of the same in both kidneys and after 2 days I got admitted in Ratna hospital for the surgery.
It took around 1.5 hours in the surgery and he did bilateral and put DJ stents in both kidneys which needed to be kept for 3 weeks. I stayed in hospital for a night and next day evening, I was discharged.
Due to stents, it was uncomfortable to pass urine for 2 days but then it was all fine. After 3 weeks, I contacted him for stent removal and that process was also done in day care procedure in Apollo hospital. During stent removal, as a small stone fragment was seen in x-ray, Dr. Lunavat decided to crush that along with stent removal. I got discharge the same day and after 2 days of stent removal, I resumed all my routine of morning walk + jogging.
After few days of stent removal, he even asked me on message on how I am doing, which is something we never expect usually.
He is excellent in his job, and his nature makes him one of the best doctors in for urological problems.
I would surely recommend Dr. Suraj Lunavat for any urology related issues.Read less
