Establishment of R P Stone Clinic – A Legacy of Excellence in Kidney Stone Treatment

R P Stone Clinic was established in 1991 with a clear vision to provide the most advanced and effective treatment for kidney and urinary tract stones to patients across India.

At a time when modern endoscopic treatment options were starting to develop in India, Dr. Pawan Kumar Gupta introduced several advanced treatment procedures that have transformed kidney stone treatment in Haryana. Since then, R P Stone Clinic has continued to upgrade its infrastructure and treatment methods to provide patients with advanced, safe and effective kidney stone treatment comparable to the best centres worldwide.

R P Stone Clinic

Major milestones

1991

  • Introduction of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for large kidney stones.
  • Establishment of R P Stone Clinic.

1994

  • Introduction of Ureterorenoscopy (URS).
  • Introduction of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL).

These latest advancements have significantly reduced the need for traditional open surgery and offered patients faster recovery with smaller incisions or completely incision-free procedures.

As these latest and advanced kidney stone treatments became available under one roof, R P Stone Clinic earned recognition as the best hospital for kidney stone treatment in Haryana.

Pioneer of RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) in India

One of the biggest milestones in the journey of R P Stone Clinic came in 1998, when Flexible Ureteroscopy, now widely known as Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS), was introduced for the first time in India.

This procedure allowed kidney stones to be treated through the body’s natural urinary passage without any surgical incision or any artificial hole. Since its introduction, RIRS has transformed the treatment of kidney stones and has become one of the most preferred minimally invasive procedures worldwide.

R P Stone Clinic’s Achievements in RIRS

  • First centre in India to introduce Flexible Ureteroscopy (RIRS) in 1998.
  • Pioneer in laser-assisted kidney stone removal through RIRS.
  • Conducted several national and international RIRS workshops.
  • Organized First workshop on Flexible Ureteroscopy under the aegis of North Zone Chapter of Urological Society of India in 1998. 
  • Trained numerous urologists in advanced RIRS procedure.
  • Continued upgrading technology as newer flexible ureteroscopes became available.

Today, RIRS is one of the most frequently performed procedures at R P Stone Clinic and is suitable for a wide range of kidney stones.

Flexible Ureteroscopy

Advancing RIRS Through Research and Training

Introducing a new procedure is only the beginning, but mastering it and helping others learn it requires years of dedication.

After conducting the first workshop on Flexible Ureteroscopy, Dr. Pawan Kumar Gupta worked extensively on improving every aspect of RIRS. During the early years, flexible ureteroscopes, access sheaths, tipless baskets and Holmium laser systems were in a primitive phase. Working closely with leading endoscopic equipment manufacturers, he contributed to refining techniques that made the procedure safer and more effective.

Initially, small kidney stones were removed using specialized tipless baskets. As laser technology improved, larger and more complex stones could also be treated successfully through RIRS.

Since then, several Cook Training Programs on RIRS have also been conducted at the hospital. Many urologists from India as well as overseas continue to visit R P Stone Clinic to observe and learn advanced RIRS procedures performed by Dr. Pawan K. Gupta.

Digital Technology for RIRS – A New Advancement in Kidney Stone Treatment

Digital Technology for RIRS

In 2012, R P Stone Clinic in Panipat introduced Digital Flexible Ureteroscopy (Digital RIRS), marking another significant improvement in providing advanced kidney stone treatment.

Compared with conventional fibre-optic ureteroscopes, digital technology enables more accurate identification of stones, precise laser fragmentation and improved stone clearance.

Today, Digital RIRS is routinely performed at R P Stone Clinic and has become the preferred treatment for a majority of kidney stones.

In 2023, RP Stone Clinic introduced the single-use digital flexible ureteroscope Flex-Xc1 from Karl Storz, Germany, further advancing its commitment to providing safe and state-of-the-art endourological care.

The clinic has procured hundreds of single-use Flex-Xc1 digital flexible ureteroscopes and selectively uses them for appropriate patients. As a sterile, single-use device, this technology helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination and may lower the incidence of postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs) associated with reusable scopes, while ensuring consistently high-quality visualization during Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS).
