Department of Urology
Getting up three times a night to urinate isn’t just an inconvenience of getting older. It’s often an enlarged prostate, and it’s treatable. Dr. Saurabh Kumar Negi runs Urology at Shri Balaji Aarogyam Hospital in Kurukshetra, using an IPG UrOLASE SP+ Thulium Fiber Laser for prostate surgery and kidney stone treatment that’s minimally invasive rather than the older, more disruptive alternatives.

Scope of Services
Laser Prostate Surgery
For benign prostate enlargement causing urinary symptoms.
Minimally Invasive Stone Surgery / Laser
Kidney and ureteric stone treatment without open surgery.
Urethroplasty
Reconstructive surgery for urethral strictures.
Urolaparoscopy & Urocare
Laparoscopic urological procedures alongside routine urology consultation and follow-up care.
Advanced Thulium Laser Treatment
IPG UrOLASE SP+ 60W laser technology used across the above procedures.
One Laser, Several Uses
The department runs an IPG UrOLASE SP+, a 60-watt SuperPulse thulium fiber laser. It’s the same core technology behind both prostate surgery and stone treatment here, just applied differently depending on what’s being treated.
IPG UrOLASE SP+ Thulium Laser
A 60-watt thulium fiber laser system used across prostate and kidney stone procedures, known for precise cutting with less bleeding than older laser types.
Laser Prostate Surgery
For an enlarged prostate causing frequent urination or difficulty starting the stream, the laser removes or shrinks the excess tissue with a shorter recovery than traditional open surgery.
Minimally Invasive Stone Surgery
Kidney and ureteric stones are broken up and removed using the laser, usually through natural passages rather than an incision.
Laser Lithotripsy
Stones that are too hard or too large to pass on their own get fragmented by laser into pieces small enough to pass or remove.
Urethroplasty
Surgical repair of urethral strictures, narrowing that makes urination difficult or painful, using reconstructive technique rather than repeated dilation.
Urolaparoscopy
Laparoscopic surgery applied to urological conditions, smaller incisions than open surgery for procedures on the kidney, bladder, or related structures.
OVERVIEW
The Symptoms People Wait, Too Long to Mention
Urinary symptoms are one of those things patients bring up almost as an afterthought, mentioned at the end of a visit for something else entirely. Waking up repeatedly at night, a weak stream, sudden sharp pain in the back or side that comes and goes, these all have a reason behind them, and most have a straightforward treatment once diagnosed.
Dr. Negi’s approach leans on one core piece of technology, the thulium fiber laser, applied differently depending on whether the problem is an enlarged prostate, a kidney stone, or a stricture. It means most procedures here are done through natural openings or small incisions instead of a larger operation.
One Laser, Multiple Procedures
The same IPG UrOLASE SP+ system is used for prostate surgery, stone treatment, and related procedures.
Shorter Recovery Than Open Surgery
Laser and laparoscopic techniques generally mean less time in the hospital and a faster return to normal activity.
Urethral Reconstruction Available
Urethroplasty is offered for strictures, rather than relying only on repeated dilation procedures.
Complete Urology Care Locally
From routine consultations to laser surgery, patients don't need to travel out of Kurukshetra for treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my urinary symptoms need a urologist, not just my regular doctor?
Frequent nighttime urination, a weak or interrupted stream, difficulty starting urination, or blood in the urine are all reasons to see a urologist directly. Your regular doctor can also refer you if initial tests suggest a prostate, kidney, or bladder issue.
What's the difference between laser prostate surgery and traditional prostate surgery?
Traditional surgery often involves more bleeding and a longer hospital stay. Laser surgery using the thulium fiber laser cuts and seals tissue with less bleeding, generally meaning a shorter catheter period and quicker recovery, though the right approach still depends on the size and specifics of the prostate.
Do all kidney stones need surgery?
No. Small stones often pass on their own with fluids and medication. Larger stones, or ones causing severe pain or blocking urine flow, are the ones that typically need laser treatment or another procedure to remove.
What is urethroplasty, and when is it needed instead of dilation?
Urethroplasty is surgical reconstruction of a narrowed urethra. Dilation, stretching the narrowed section, sometimes works temporarily but the narrowing often returns. Urethroplasty is considered when strictures keep recurring or dilation isn’t giving lasting relief.
Is urolaparoscopy the same as regular laparoscopic surgery?
It’s the same core technique, small incisions and a camera-guided approach, applied specifically to urological organs like the kidney or bladder rather than general abdominal surgery.
