Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• HoLEP outcomes in large-volume BPH
• Minimally invasive stone clearance techniques in complex anatomy
• Laparoscopic outcomes in renal tumour surgery

A patient with a 90 g prostate causing severe obstructive uropathy and recurrent urinary retention underwent HoLEP under Dr. Shah's care, achieving immediate voiding improvement with minimal blood loss and discharge within 48 hours — avoiding the need for open prostatectomy.

A patient with bilateral ureteric stones and solitary functioning kidney underwent staged bilateral ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy under Dr. Shah's supervision, achieving complete bilateral stone clearance and recovery of renal function within four weeks.

• High-Volume Expertise: Patients highlight Dr. Shah's consistent surgical outcomes across a high annual caseload of endourological and laparoscopic procedures in Hyderabad.
• Minimally Invasive Preference: Patients appreciate his preference for laser and laparoscopic approaches, minimising post-operative pain and reducing recovery time.
• Clear Follow-up Protocol: Post-operative patients note his structured monitoring plans including stone metabolic workup and PSA surveillance following urological cancer surgery.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Arun Shah takes an evidence-based, minimally invasive-first approach to urological disease management. He conducts detailed pre-operative evaluation — including imaging, functional assessment, and oncological staging where applicable — before selecting the most appropriate technique. He involves patients in all surgical decisions and maintains structured follow-up protocols with imaging review and functional outcome assessment at defined post-operative intervals.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Shah employs holmium laser systems for HoLEP and stone fragmentation, laparoscopic platforms for renal and bladder cancer surgery, flexible ureteroscopy for upper tract access, and urodynamics for lower urinary tract evaluation. He uses CT urography and intravenous urography for comprehensive pre-operative stone and upper tract assessment, and multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer staging.
