About Dr. S. V. Kotwal

Dr. S. V. Kotwal is a Chairperson Emeritus Urologist at Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon with an illustrious 45+ year career that spans all major branches of urology. A former Armed Forces medical professional, he brings exceptional surgical expertise and a commitment to clinical excellence that has made him one of India's most accomplished urological surgeons. His career is defined by pioneering contributions to microsurgery, endo-urology, and complex genito-urinary reconstructive procedures.

Dr. Kotwal has personally performed nearly 4,000 percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures—one of the largest personal series in North India—alongside approximately 300 renal transplants. His clinical depth extends across kidney stone surgery, vascular reconstructions, uro-oncology, paediatric urology, and sex reassignment surgery. He is recognized as a postgraduate teacher for MS (General Surgery) and MCh (Urology) degrees at the University of Pune and MS degrees at Delhi University, and serves as an examiner and inspector for the National Board of Examinations, reflecting his standing in medical education.

International patients form a meaningful portion of Dr. Kotwal's practice. He welcomes patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and South Asia who seek advanced urological care and complex reconstructive surgery.
