Fortis Hospital and Kidney Institute (Rash Behari Ave), Kolkata

Fortis Hospital and Kidney Institute is a 60-bed renal and urology hospital on Rash Behari Avenue in Gariahat, Kolkata. It opened on 3 July 1999 and forms part of Fortis Healthcare. The six-floor facility has four operating theatres, including three major theatres, and a 12-bed dialysis unit. The branch states NABH accreditation.

Kidney transplantation began at the institute in 2002. The procedural range includes laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy with Lithoclast, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and Holmium laser prostate surgery. Urologists also perform prostate, bladder, kidney and urinary-tract operations, penile implantation and selected robotic procedures. Nephrology teams manage acute and chronic kidney disease and provide dialysis.

The dialysis unit operates continuously with monitoring, and renal medical or surgical emergencies are covered around the clock. An on-site laboratory supports investigation and perioperative care. Specialists include nephrologists, adult and paediatric urologists, uro-oncology surgeons, internal physicians, radiologists, anaesthetists and critical-care clinicians. This focused structure links renal diagnosis, endourology, transplantation, dialysis and postoperative observation within one hospital.

The institute may be pertinent for end-stage kidney disease, urinary stones, prostate enlargement, bladder conditions, urinary obstruction, male sexual dysfunction or urological cancer. Transplant requires separate donor and recipient evaluation, compatibility testing and assessment of infection and cardiovascular risk. Stone treatment varies with size, position, density and urinary anatomy; lithotripsy, ureteroscopy and percutaneous surgery serve different indications. Dialysis may be used as long-term treatment or while transplant is being considered. Prostate and bladder surgery is selected after urological assessment and imaging. Follow-up monitors kidney function, obstruction and infection risk.

The hospital may be relevant for patients in Kolkata who need kidney or urology care, including stones, prostate or bladder surgery, dialysis and kidney transplant assessment, in a dedicated 60-bed renal and urology hospital.
