Advanced laser kidney stone surgery in Delhi by an MCh urologist, at prices starting from nearly 30% of premium hospital estimates.

If you’re looking for RIRS kidney stone surgery in Central Delhi, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital are excellent choices. Both offer experienced urologists, modern surgical technology and comprehensive hospital facilities.

But what if you don’t have health insurance?

For a family paying out of pocket, spending ₹1.5–2.5 lakh on kidney stone surgery can be a substantial financial burden.

Fortunately, patients have more affordable options without necessarily compromising on their surgeon’s qualifications or the surgical technique.

RIRS Surgery Cost Comparison: Central Delhi (2026)

HospitalRIRS Surgery Cost
Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Rajinder Nagar₹1,40,000–₹2,20,000
BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, Pusa Road₹1,50,000–₹2,40,000
Apollo Spectra, Pusa Road₹1,46,410–₹2,01,000
Dr. Vijayant Govinda Gupta, Karol Bagh₹75,000–₹85,000

Indicative unilateral RIRS treatment costs. Final prices depend on room category, stone complexity and package inclusions.

Pricing references: Sir Ganga Ram’s published surgical tariff lists RIRS procedure charges from ₹40,170 to ₹1,33,930, depending on room category, before applicable additional charges. Max Healthcare publishes RIRS starting at ₹1.5 lakh at its Shalimar Bagh hospital. Apollo Spectra’s Delhi-wide published range is ₹1,46,410–₹2,01,000. The Ganga Ram and BLK-Max total ranges above are indicative estimates rather than fixed tariffs.

Advanced Holmium Laser RIRS at ₹75,000–₹85,000

Dr. Vijayant Govinda Gupta, MBBS, MS, MCh (Urology) from PGI Chandigarh, offers RIRS kidney stone surgery using modern Holmium laser technology.

RIRS involves passing a flexible ureteroscope through the natural urinary passage into the kidney. The laser fragments the stone without requiring an external surgical incision.

This is the same established minimally invasive technique used in major hospitals.

His ₹75,000–₹85,000 package includes surgery, day-care admission, nursing, covered medications and complimentary routine DJ stent removal.

At ₹75,000, the package costs approximately 31% of the upper-end ₹2.4 lakh hospital comparison estimate.

For uninsured patients, this represents potentially substantial savings while retaining access to an MCh-qualified surgeon and modern laser technology.

The Trade-Off: A Smaller Nursing Home

There is an important distinction patients should understand.

Dr. Gupta’s facility is a small, non-NABH-accredited day-care nursing home, rather than a large tertiary-care hospital.

It does not offer the same intensive-care infrastructure, premium accommodation or extensive on-site multispeciality backup available at Ganga Ram and BLK-Max.

For medically fit patients undergoing relatively uncomplicated RIRS, day-care surgery may be appropriate. However, patients with serious medical conditions, complex kidney stones or higher anaesthetic risks may be better treated in a larger hospital.

Have Health Insurance? You Can Choose Apollo Spectra With the Same Surgeon

Patients who have health insurance or prefer an NABH-accredited hospital have another option.

Dr. Vijayant Govinda Gupta is also an empanelled urologist at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Pusa Road, Karol Bagh, where he operates on his patients.

Apollo Spectra is listed among Apollo’s NABH-accredited facilities. Dr. Gupta’s association with the hospital is also confirmed on Apollo Spectra’s official website.

Patients can therefore choose between two treatment settings:

Affordable self-pay option: Surgery at Dr. Gupta’s day-care nursing home for ₹75,000–₹85,000.

Insurance or NABH-accredited hospital option: Surgery by Dr. Gupta at Apollo Spectra, Pusa Road, at the hospital’s applicable package rates.

Insurance approval, cashless eligibility and coverage depend on the patient’s policy.

The surgeon can remain the same. Patients choose the hospital infrastructure and financial arrangement that suits their needs.

Check Whether DJ Stent Removal Is Included

After RIRS, a temporary Double-J (DJ) stent may be inserted. Its removal usually requires a subsequent procedure.

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital publishes separate cystoscopic stent-removal charges ranging from ₹5,700 to ₹18,980, depending on accommodation category. Whether these charges are included in an individual surgical package should be checked beforehand.

At Dr. Gupta’s day-care centre, routine DJ stent removal is included in the original ₹75,000–₹85,000 package.

Patients should always request a written estimate covering surgery, anaesthesia, consumables, medicines and follow-up procedures.
