Dr. Devendra Garg

Dr. Devendra Garg is a super-specialist urologist and laparoscopic surgeon who leads urological services at Vidya Shanti Hospital. After completing his M.Ch. in Urology he served as a consultant at AIIMS New Delhi, where he worked extensively on endourology — the keyhole techniques used to remove kidney, ureter and bladder stones without open surgery.

In Bareilly his practice covers the full range of urological illness: stone disease, prostate enlargement, urinary obstruction, urethral stricture and cancers of the kidney, bladder and prostate. Most stone procedures at the hospital are performed endoscopically, which usually means a shorter stay and a faster return to work than open surgery.

Patients are counselled in plain Hindi about what the scan shows, which options exist, what each will cost and what the recovery looks like. Where a stone can safely be managed with fluids and medication, that is offered first.
