• RIRS for kidney stones — efficiency and outcomes

A patient with organ-confined prostate cancer underwent robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy under Dr. Sharma using the da Vinci system, achieving cancer clearance with preservation of urinary continence and sexual function.

A patient with a complex pelvic urethral stricture following prior failed procedures underwent successful buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty under Dr. Sharma, restoring normal urine flow and avoiding the need for permanent catheterisation.

• Pioneer Surgeon: Patients recognise Dr. Sharma as a pioneer of advanced urological surgery in Andhra Pradesh, with a reputation built across three decades of clinical practice.
• Clear Communication: Reviewers appreciate his willingness to explain procedures clearly and answer all patient questions with patience and clinical precision.
