Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Outcomes in complex PCNL for staghorn calculi
• Urethroplasty techniques and long-term stricture recurrence rates

A patient with complete staghorn calculi in both kidneys underwent staged bilateral PCNL under Dr. Hodarkar's care, achieving complete bilateral stone clearance and stable renal function with a minimally invasive approach.

A patient with post-traumatic urethral stricture causing urinary retention underwent end-to-end urethroplasty under Dr. Hodarkar, restoring normal voiding with no recurrence at two-year follow-up.

• Technical Surgical Skill: Patients and families praise Dr. Hodarkar's surgical precision in complex kidney stone and uro-oncology cases.
• Calm Clinical Decision-Making: Reviewers highlight his composed, measured approach even in emergency urological presentations.
• Post-Operative Support: Patients appreciate his systematic post-procedure monitoring and clear discharge guidelines.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Ravindra Hodarkar takes an evidence-based, individualistic approach to urological care. He conducts thorough pre-operative evaluations and discusses all available options — from conservative to minimally invasive to open surgical — before recommending a treatment pathway. For oncological cases, he works within a multidisciplinary framework to ensure surgical decisions are integrated with oncological staging and planned adjuvant therapies. Post-operative follow-up protocols are structured with clear milestones for recovery and disease surveillance.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Hodarkar employs PCNL with ultrasonic and Holmium laser lithotripsy for large renal stones, laparoscopic platforms for nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy, and operating microscopes for reconstructive urethroplasty. He incorporates flexible ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation for intrarenal stone management in complex anatomies.
