About Dr. Anil Kumar Gulia
Dr. Anil Kumar Gulia is a renowned name in the field of Urology and Renal Transplant with more than 15 years of surgical experience. As Director of Urology and Kidney Transplant at Fortis Escorts Kidney and Urology Institute in Okhla, New Delhi, he performs kidney transplant operations routinely and has achieved success rates of more than 95%, which are at par with the best kidney transplant centres in the world.
The range of kidney transplant procedures in Dr. Gulia's repertoire is exceptional. He has performed Pediatric Kidney Transplants, Triple and Quadruple Vessel Kidney Transplants, Re-do kidney transplants, ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplants, and Swap Kidney Transplants — a breadth that very few urological surgeons in India can match. These complex procedures require not only surgical mastery but also the institutional infrastructure to manage complex immunosuppression protocols, which Fortis Escorts provides.
Dr. Gulia also does advanced endourological procedures including RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery), Mini PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy), and HOLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) for large prostate glands. He performs reconstructive surgeries on the kidney, ureter, bladder, and urethra, and also does advanced laparoscopic surgeries for cancer of the kidney, bladder, and prostate.
He brings expertise from two of the country's most respected teaching hospitals — Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), Lucknow, and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi — and is an active faculty member at urological and kidney transplantation forums. His international publications in leading journals reflect his commitment to advancing evidence-based urological care.

Procedures
Frequently Asked Questions
An ABO incompatible kidney transplant is performed when the donor and recipient have incompatible blood groups, which would normally preclude transplantation. Through a specialised desensitisation protocol involving plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive medications, the recipient's immune system is conditioned to accept the incompatible kidney. Dr. Gulia has performed a significant number of these complex transplants at Fortis Escorts with high success rates.
