More About the Doctor

Dr. Saurabh Mahesh Thakkar is an experienced urologist with expertise in a broad spectrum of conditions affecting the urinary system and male reproductive/genital system. Dr Saurabh completed his MBBS from Padmashree Dr D Y Patil University, Navi Mumbai and MS General Surgery from D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pimpri, Pune followed by MCh Urology from Shri B. M. Patil Medical College, BLDE University, Vijayapura, Karnataka.

Dr Saurabh frequently treats different types of kidney stones, each presenting unique challenges. For patients suffering from kidney stones, he utilises advanced imaging techniques to accurately diagnose the location and size of stones. Treatment options often range from conservative/non surgical management, including hydration and medication, to minimally invasive procedures. These facilitate effective breakdown and subsequent stone removal, alleviating pain and preventing complications.

In addition to stone disease, Dr Saurabh manages conditions such as urethral strictures along with complex injuries like pelvic fractures that rupture the urethra. For problems with prostate enlargement, he employs both medical and surgical treatments, including transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), to improve urinary function and patient quality of life. His work also extends to oncological urology, where he diagnoses and treats various cancers. Each diagnosis requires a tailored approach, often involving surgical interventions, chemotherapy, and patient education.

Furthermore, Dr Saurabh also does Neurourology, which is the field to address neurogenic bladder issues - overfunctioning or low functioning bladder. This may require collaborating with other specialists to provide comprehensive care and support for patients dealing with these complex conditions. Additionally, he addresses concerns related to a range of treatment options from lifestyle modifications to advanced therapies, ensuring a holistic approach to his patients' urological health. Through these varied aspects of his practice, Dr Saurabh strives to enhance his patients' health and well-being while navigating their urological challenges.
