Dr. (Col) S. V. Kotwal

Dr. S. V. Kotwal is Chairperson Emeritus and DNB Teacher - Urology at Artemis Hospitals, Gurugram. He completed MBBS at Grant Medical College, MS in General Surgery at Armed Forces Medical College and MCh in Urology at AIIMS, New Delhi. His career spans endourology, renal transplantation, uro-oncology, paediatric urology and complex reconstruction.

Artemis highlights his extensive experience with PCNL, ureteroscopy and other endourological procedures. The hospital credits him with nearly 4,000 PCNL procedures, one of the largest personal series in North India, as well as approximately 300 renal transplants. He also pioneered microsurgery within the Armed Forces and has worked extensively in urological oncology and vascular reconstruction.

His clinical focus includes transurethral surgery, kidney-stone procedures, renal transplantation, paediatric and female urology, genitourinary reconstruction and microsurgery for infertility. He has performed difficult reconstructive operations and has conducted operative workshops across India. Artemis also describes a substantial teaching career, including postgraduate teaching, examination work and visiting professorships.

Dr. Kotwal speaks English and Hindi. His memberships include the Association of Surgeons of India, Urological Society of India and Urological Society of Pune.

His current profile is particularly relevant for patients with complex stone disease, previous urological surgery, transplant needs, paediatric urological conditions or reconstructive problems where experience across open, endoscopic and microsurgical techniques may be useful. This breadth of experience supports individual planning when stone disease, cancer, reconstruction and transplant considerations overlap in the same patient.
