Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Uro-oncology — early detection and surgical management of bladder and prostate cancer

As a founding member of India's first kidney transplant programme at J.J. Hospital, Mumbai in 1975, Dr. Kamat has been involved in the surgical management of renal transplantation for over five decades — contributing to the development of national transplantation guidelines and training generations of urologists in transplant technique.

Dr. Kamat's pioneering role in endoscopic surgery of the prostate introduced minimally invasive TURP technique to Indian urology decades before it became standard practice — reducing patient morbidity and establishing the template for a procedure now performed hundreds of thousands of times annually across India.

• Decades of Unrivalled Experience: Patients consistently describe Dr. Kamat as a doctor whose depth of experience instils immediate confidence — particularly in complex urological conditions and cancer management where his pioneering history is widely known.
• Precise and Evidence-Based Management: Reviewers describe his diagnostic precision and careful, methodical treatment planning as the hallmarks of his consultation style.
• National Recognition: Patients seeking treatment for complex urological conditions including prostate cancer, kidney stones, and renal transplant evaluation specifically seek out Dr. Kamat for his nationally recognised expertise and award-winning career.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Kamat brings over six decades of urological experience to every patient consultation — a depth of knowledge that encompasses the complete evolution of modern urology in India. He applies a systematic, evidence-based diagnostic approach to each case, drawing on an unparalleled breadth of clinical and surgical experience spanning kidney transplantation, uro-oncology, endoscopic prostate surgery, and urinary stone disease. His care is particularly valued by patients with complex or rare urological presentations that require the depth of expertise only a career of this length can provide.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Kamat's career spans the complete technological evolution of urology — from open surgical techniques to endoscopic TURP (which he pioneered in India), percutaneous stone surgery, ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy, and modern renal transplantation. He continues to apply the most current evidence-based endoscopic and minimally invasive urological techniques alongside his expertise in complex open reconstructive urology, kidney transplantation, and uro-oncological surgery at Mumbai's premier tertiary hospitals.
