Fortis Institute of Robotic Urology & Uro-Oncology, Mohali
Robotic surgery is the international gold standard for prostate, kidney and bladder care. At Fortis Hospital Mohali, it is delivered by one of North India's most credentialled uro-robotic teams, with training from AIIMS New Delhi, the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Mayo Clinic, USA.
Urological surgery demands precision in some of the body's most delicate anatomy, where millimetres decide whether a patient keeps continence, sexual function or a working kidney. The da Vinci Xi platform gives our surgeons 3D, 10× magnified vision and 360° wristed instruments for a level of control that open and conventional laparoscopic surgery cannot match.
Backed by one of India's largest da Vinci programmes and hundreds of complex robotic cancer surgeries, this is precision urology built on deep, verifiable experience — the reason patients from across Mohali, Chandigarh, Panchkula and Punjab choose Fortis for their most difficult cases.
Conditions & Robotic Procedures:
Uro-Oncology (Prostate, Kidney & Bladder Cancer)
For urological cancers, robotic surgery combines complete tumour clearance with the nerve- and organ-sparing precision that protects long-term quality of life.
Prostate Cancer – Robotic Radical Prostatectomy — nerve-sparing removal of the prostate that aims to preserve urinary continence and sexual function while achieving excellent cancer control.
Kidney Cancer – Robotic Partial Nephrectomy / Tumour Enucleation / Robotic Retroperitoneal Partial Nephrectomy — removes only the tumour-bearing portion of the kidney while preserving healthy tissue, critical for patients with reduced or solitary kidney function.
Renal Masses – Robotic Tumour Resection — precise excision of complex, central or deep-seated renal masses that are hard to reach by open surgery.
Bladder Cancer – Robotic Radical Cystectomy / Robotic Cystectomy with Intracorporeal Neo-Bladder Formation — complete bladder removal with a new bladder reconstructed entirely inside the body, reducing blood loss and recovery time.
Adrenal Tumours – Robotic Adrenalectomy — minimally invasive removal of adrenal tumours, including hormone-secreting masses such as pheochromocytoma.
IVC Thrombectomy – Robotic Removal of IVC Tumour Thrombus — one of the most complex uro-oncology procedures, extracting tumour thrombus extending into the inferior vena cava with robotic precision.
Reconstructive & Functional Urology
Beyond cancer, robotic surgery restores normal urinary flow and function with durable, minimally invasive repairs.
UPJ Obstruction – Robotic Pyeloplasty — reconstruction of the blocked junction between the kidney and ureter to restore free urine drainage.
Ureteric Strictures – Robotic Ureteric Reimplantation — precise repair of a narrowed ureter, preserving kidney function and avoiding open reconstruction.
Robotic Kidney Transplant
Kidney Transplant – Robotic Transplant Surgery — advanced robot-assisted transplantation with smaller incisions, lower wound-complication rates and faster recovery in selected recipients.
Advanced & Minimally Invasive Prostate Care
Not every prostate condition needs major surgery. For men with an enlarged prostate (BPH), Fortis Mohali offers Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy — a painless, day-care procedure that shrinks excess prostate tissue and restores normal urinary flow.
It is especially valuable for men who are high surgical risk or who wish to preserve sexual and reproductive function, and our team is among the most experienced in the country in this technique. Offering both robotic surgery and the latest minimally invasive therapies under one roof means every patient receives the right procedure for their condition — not simply the most invasive one.
Why Robotic Urology Over Open or Laparoscopic Surgery?
For most prostate, kidney and bladder procedures, robotics offers clear advantages: a magnified 3D view versus the 2D image of standard laparoscopy, wristed instruments that rotate a full 360° versus rigid conventional tools, and tremor-free precision for fine dissection and reconstruction.
Compared with open surgery, patients typically experience smaller incisions, less blood loss, lower infection risk, shorter hospital stays and a faster return to normal life. The right approach always depends on the individual case — but where precision and functional preservation matter most, robotics leads.
Advantages of Robotic Urology at Fortis Mohali
Nerve-sparing for sexual & urinary function – Preserves the delicate nerves controlling continence and erectile function, especially in prostate surgery.
Enhanced tumour margin control – Superior visualisation supports complete cancer removal with clear margins.
Maximum organ preservation – Precise partial nephrectomy protects healthy kidney tissue — vital for a solitary or compromised kidney.
Low blood loss & fewer complications – Minimal trauma reduces transfusion needs and post-operative risk, even in high-risk cases.
Faster catheter removal & recovery – Watertight reconstruction allows earlier catheter removal and a quicker return to normal life.
Who Should Consider Robotic Urological Surgery?
Robotic surgery is often ideal for patients needing prostate, kidney or bladder cancer surgery, complex reconstruction, or procedures where preserving continence, sexual function or kidney function is a priority. It particularly benefits those seeking minimal scarring, less pain and faster recovery. Suitability depends on your diagnosis, overall health and fitness for anaesthesia, which your urologist will assess during consultation.
The Expertise Behind the Programme
Robotic urology outcomes depend on the surgeon at the console. At Fortis Mohali, the programme is led by internationally trained specialists including Dr. Dharmender Aggarwal, a fellowship-trained robotic uro-oncologist (Royal College of Surgeons of England; ERUS- and ORSI-certified) with 550+ robotic cancer surgeries of the kidney, bladder and prostate.
The team also includes Dr. Rohit Dadhwal (MCh Urology, AIIMS New Delhi; Uro-oncology training, Mayo Clinic, USA; a pioneer of Rezūm therapy in India), whose team recently preserved a patient's only functional kidney through a robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
This concentration of high-volume, fellowship-level expertise — supported by two operational da Vinci Xi systems and 3000+ robotic procedures across specialties — makes Fortis a leading choice for robotic kidney, prostate and bladder surgery in Mohali, Chandigarh and North India.
Robotic surgery is suitable for many — but not all — urological conditions. Your urologist will confirm the right approach for your specific diagnosis during consultation.

FAQs
Which is the best hospital for robotic urology surgery in Mohali and Chandigarh?
Fortis Hospital Mohali is a leading choice, with fellowship-trained robotic uro-oncologists, 550+ robotic cancer surgeries of the kidney, prostate and bladder, and two operational da Vinci Xi systems — one of India's largest da Vinci programmes.
Is robotic prostate surgery better than open surgery?
For most localised prostate cancers, yes. Robotic radical prostatectomy offers smaller incisions, less blood loss and better nerve-sparing precision, supporting higher rates of continence and sexual-function preservation than open surgery.
Will I stay continent and sexually active after robotic prostatectomy?
That is a key goal of the nerve-sparing robotic technique. The 3D magnified view lets surgeons protect the nerves controlling urinary and sexual function. Outcomes vary by individual, and your surgeon will discuss what to expect.
Can robotic surgery remove a kidney tumour without removing the whole kidney?
Yes. Robotic partial nephrectomy removes only the tumour while preserving healthy kidney tissue — vital for patients with a single or weakened kidney. Our team recently used this approach to save a patient's only functional kidney.
Is robotic surgery safe for bladder cancer?
Yes. Robotic radical cystectomy, including intracorporeal neo-bladder formation, is well established, offering lower blood loss and faster recovery than open surgery with equivalent cancer control.
Is robotic urology surgery covered by insurance?
Most private, corporate and government health schemes cover robotic procedures. Our insurance team assists with verification and approvals so patients across Mohali, Chandigarh, Panchkula and Punjab can plan with clarity.
