Our Growth Over the Years

1991 – The Beginning

R P Stone Clinic was established as a two-bedded hospital with the vision of providing quality healthcare under one roof.

Facilities available at the time

  • Normal Delivery
  • Caesarean Section (C-Section)
  • Open Hysterectomy

Urology

  • TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate)
  • PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)

General Surgery

  • General surgical procedures

1994 – Introduction of ESWL

A major milestone came with the introduction of:

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) in 1994

This non-invasive procedure enabled selected kidney and ureteric stones to be treated without any surgical incision, making stone treatment more comfortable for suitable patients.

1997 – Expansion of Advanced Gynaecological Endoscopy

The hospital introduced advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures, including:

  • Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgeries and Hysteroscopy
  • Diagnostic Laparoscopy
  • Laparoscopic Tubectomy
  • LAVH
  • Laparoscopic Drilling in PCOD
  • Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy
  • Laparoscopic Treatment of Ectopic Pregnancy
  • Diagnostic Hysteroscopy
  • Operative Hysteroscopy

These minimally invasive procedures significantly reduced postoperative pain, hospital stay and recovery time.

1998 – Beginning of Flexible Ureteroscopy (RIRS)

One of the most significant milestones in the history of R P Stone Clinic was the introduction of Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) in 1998.

Dr. Pawan K. Gupta became a pioneer of Flexible Ureteroscopy (RIRS) in India, introducing this highly advanced, minimally invasive procedure in India.

Today, R P Stone Clinic routinely performs RIRS even for staghorn stones:

The procedure is performed using advanced flexible ureteroscopes and Holmium laser/ TFL through the natural urinary passage without any external incision or hole.

2004 – Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)

In 2004, the hospital further expanded its minimally invasive surgical services with the introduction of:

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)

This represented another important advancement in women’s healthcare, allowing faster recovery and improved surgical results.

2019

To enhance TLH alongside various other laparoscopic surgical and gynaecological procedures, a 3-D imaging system was installed in 2019. Additionally, a morcellator is utilized during TLH when dealing with a large uterus.

2011 & 2012 – Digital RIRS Introduced

Another landmark achievement came with the introduction of Digital Flexible Ureteroscopy (Digital RIRS).

It offered several advantages, including:

  • High-definition visualization
  • Better stone identification
  • Improved precision during laser fragmentation
  • Greater surgical safety
  • Higher stone clearance rates
  • Better treatment results

This helped strengthen the clinic’s reputation as a leading kidney stone hospital offering advanced minimally invasive treatment.
