About Dr. Varun Mittal

Dr. Varun Mittal is Head of Kidney Transplant and Associate Chief of Uro-Oncology & Robotic Surgery at Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon. He holds an M.Ch. in Urology and Kidney Transplant from SGPGIMS Lucknow, complemented by a DNB in Genitourinary Surgery and advanced fellowship training in minimally invasive and robotic urology. His career spans over 15 years of specialised practice in transplant surgery and urologic oncology, making him one of the most experienced practitioners in North India.

Dr. Mittal's clinical expertise encompasses the full spectrum of kidney transplantation, including living donor kidney transplant, deceased donor transplant, and complex ABO/HLA-incompatible cases. He is also deeply skilled in advanced robotic-assisted surgery for urologic cancers, including radical prostatectomy and radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. His technical proficiency extends to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for large kidney stones and minimally invasive interventions such as AV fistula creation for dialysis access. He has been instrumental in building successful transplant programmes at leading institutions over more than a decade.

Dr. Mittal regularly welcomes international patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and across South Asia who seek high-quality transplant and cancer surgery at a fraction of Western costs. His fluency in English and Hindi, combined with Artemis Hospital's dedicated international patient services, ensures seamless communication and care coordination throughout the treatment journey.

Artemis Hospital, located in Gurgaon's medical hub, is a multispecialty acute-care institution equipped with state-of-the-art operating theatres, modern ICU facilities, and an experienced organ transplant coordination team. The hospital's strong track record in organ transplantation and its proximity to Delhi's air hub make it an ideal destination for international patients seeking complex urologic and transplant surgery. International patients benefit from transparent pricing, comprehensive pre-operative assessment, and structured follow-up protocols tailored to their home country requirements. Dr. Mittal's commitment to patient-centred care and evidence-based practice ensures that every transplant recipient and cancer patient receives individualised, world-standard treatment regardless of origin.
