Fortis Hospital: Excellence In Advanced Renal & Urological Care

Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road has established itself as a leading destination for comprehensive renal sciences, bringing together a wide spectrum of specialised disciplines including urology, uro-oncology, uro-gynaecology, gynaec-oncology, andrology, kidney transplantation, reconstructive urology, paediatric urology, neurourology and robotic surgery. By bringing together these diverse areas of expertise within an integrated clinical ecosystem, the institute is equipped to manage a broad range of routine, complex and highly specialised renal and genitourinary conditions across age groups and stages of life.

A key strength of the Centre is its multidisciplinary approach to care. Renal and genitourinary conditions can often require expertise from multiple specialities, particularly when patients present with complex or overlapping clinical needs. By bringing specialists together within one comprehensive programme, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road enables patients to access personalised treatment pathways supported by coordinated clinical decision-making and advanced infrastructure.

Urology forms an important pillar of the Centre, with expertise spanning the diagnosis and management of a wide range of urinary tract and genitourinary conditions. This is complemented by specialised capabilities in uro-oncology and gynaec-oncology, enabling comprehensive management of cancers affecting the urinary and reproductive systems. Uro-gynaecology addresses conditions involving the urinary and pelvic systems in women, while andrology provides specialised care for male reproductive and sexual health conditions.

The Centre’s expertise also extends to reconstructive urology, paediatric urology and neurourology, allowing it to address specialised conditions that require highly individualised treatment. Reconstructive urology focuses on restoring urinary function and anatomy in complex cases, while paediatric urology provides specialised care for children with congenital and acquired urological conditions. Neurourology addresses urinary and bladder dysfunction associated with neurological conditions, requiring close integration between different areas of clinical expertise.

Kidney transplantation is another defining area of strength. Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road has developed extensive capabilities in managing complex kidney transplant cases, supported by internationally benchmarked transplant protocols and a multidisciplinary team. The institute’s experience in transplantation is complemented by advanced urological expertise and robotic surgery, enabling the team to manage challenging cases through an integrated treatment pathway.

A significant milestone in this journey of innovation is the TREAT – Total Robot Enabled and Assisted Transplant programme. The programme brings together the Centre’s expertise in kidney transplantation and advanced robotic surgery, reflecting its focus on exploring technology-enabled approaches to complex transplant procedures. By integrating robotic capabilities with transplant expertise, TREAT represents an important step in the evolution of minimally invasive and technology-driven transplant care.

Robotic surgery is a key component of the Centre’s innovation-led approach. Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road has continued to adopt advanced robot-assisted surgical techniques across its renal and urological practice. By combining robotic technology with specialist surgical expertise, these procedures can support greater precision and personalised surgical planning for appropriately selected patients. The hospital’s successful completion of more than 3,000 robotic surgeries on the da Vinci Xi platform across specialties further demonstrates its experience in technology-driven surgical care.

Innovation, however, remains closely integrated with clinical judgement. The use of advanced technology is guided by individual patient assessment, disease characteristics and the most appropriate treatment pathway. This balance between technology and expertise enables the Centre to focus not simply on adopting new techniques, but on using them meaningfully to support patient outcomes, recovery and quality of life.

The breadth of the Centre also makes it a valuable destination for patients requiring complex or specialised care. With multiple areas of expertise available within one institution, patients can benefit from coordinated evaluation and access to specialists across different disciplines. This is particularly important for complex cases that may require a combination of surgical, medical and rehabilitative interventions.

Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road has also emerged as a preferred destination for Medical Value Travel, welcoming patients from across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and beyond. Internationally benchmarked clinical protocols, dedicated international patient services and personalised treatment pathways support patients who travel to Bengaluru seeking advanced and complex renal and urological care.

The scale of the hospital’s experience further reinforces its capabilities. Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road has performed 357 successful organ transplants and more than 60,000 urological surgeries. These milestones, together with its extensive robotic surgery experience, reflect the institution’s continued focus on advancing specialised care.

As renal sciences continue to evolve, the integration of multiple disciplines, advanced technology and multidisciplinary expertise is becoming increasingly important. Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road continues to build on its capabilities across urology, uro-oncology, uro-gynaecology, gynaec-oncology, andrology, kidney transplantation, reconstructive urology, paediatric urology, neurourology and robotic surgery.

At the heart of this comprehensive approach is a commitment to personalised, compassionate care. By bringing together specialised expertise, advanced infrastructure, transplantation capabilities and robotic technology, the Centre of Excellence in Renal Sciences remains focused on managing complex conditions while helping patients achieve better outcomes and improved quality of life. Programmes such as TREAT further demonstrate the institute’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology-enabled renal and transplant care.
