Dr Rajiv Goel is a urologist and urological surgeon based in Gurugram. He completed MBBS, MS in General Surgery and MCh in Urology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.
Clinical focus
His work covers adult urology with particular interest in prostate disease, kidney and ureteric stones, urinary obstruction, uro-oncology and minimally invasive surgery.
Current practice
Dr Goel consults at his Kidney, Prostate & Stone Clinic in Sector 39, Gurugram, where he sees patients with prostate problems, kidney and ureteric stones, urinary obstruction, urological cancers and other adult urological conditions.
How treatment decisions are approached
Urology often offers several technically possible treatments. The more useful question is which option is appropriate for the individual patient.
For an enlarged prostate, that means considering symptoms, urine flow, residual urine, prostate anatomy, complications and response to medicines. For stone disease, it means considering the number, size, location and density of stones, infection, obstruction and kidney anatomy. For cancer, treatment depends on stage, tumour biology, kidney function, age, comorbidities and patient priorities.
Special interest in HoLEP and RIRS
HoLEP and RIRS are important parts of Dr Goel's endourology practice. HoLEP offers an anatomical endoscopic approach to benign prostate obstruction, while RIRS enables many kidney stones to be treated through the natural urinary passage. Neither procedure should be selected simply because it is minimally invasive; the indication and patient factors remain central.
