He holds an MBBS, an MS in General Surgery, and an M.Ch in Urology from Grant Medical College and Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals, Mumbai.

Dr. Dey has expertise in advanced robotic and laparoscopic uro-oncology, endourology, laser surgery, and reconstructive urology. His areas of practice include kidney cancer surgery, radical prostatectomy, bladder cancer management, urethral stricture reconstruction, and minimally invasive procedures for urinary tract disorders.

His surgical expertise includes partial and radical nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy, radical cystectomy, neobladder reconstruction, HoLEP, RIRS, Mini-PCNL, and laser treatment for selected urological conditions. He also manages paediatric urological conditions, including hypospadias and vesicoureteral reflux.

Dr. Dey is involved in academic teaching and surgical training, including mentoring in robotic, laparoscopic, and endourological techniques. His approach emphasizes evidence-based treatment, surgical precision, and patient-centred care.

Kidney Cancer Treatment

Kidney cancer treatment depends on the tumour's size, location, stage, and the patient's overall health. Treatment options may include active surveillance for selected small tumours, partial nephrectomy to remove the tumour while preserving healthy kidney tissue, or radical nephrectomy when removal of the kidney is necessary. Robotic and laparoscopic techniques may be considered for suitable patients.

Prostate Cancer Treatment

Prostate cancer treatment is planned according to the cancer stage, grade, overall health, and individual preferences. Options may include active surveillance, surgery such as radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or other treatments where appropriate. Robotic-assisted surgery may be considered for selected patients requiring prostate removal.

Bladder Cancer Treatment

Bladder cancer management depends on whether the cancer is confined to the bladder lining or has invaded deeper tissues. Treatment may include transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT), intravesical therapy, bladder-preserving approaches, or radical cystectomy for selected cases. After bladder removal, urinary diversion options can include an ileal conduit or neobladder reconstruction.

Robotic Urological Surgery

Robotic urological surgery uses specialised instruments and a high-definition surgical view to support precise movements during selected procedures. It may be used for operations such as partial nephrectomy, radical nephrectomy, radical prostatectomy, and certain reconstructive surgeries. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, anatomy, and the treating surgeon's assessment.

Urethral Stricture Treatment

A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the body. It can cause a weak urinary stream, straining, incomplete bladder emptying, or urinary retention. Treatment may include endoscopic procedures or urethroplasty, a reconstructive operation used for selected complex or recurrent strictures.

HoLEP – Laser Prostate Surgery

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat urinary symptoms caused by benign prostate enlargement. The procedure removes obstructive prostate tissue using a laser to improve urine flow. A urologist evaluates prostate size, symptoms, medications, and overall health to determine whether HoLEP is appropriate.

Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (TFLEP)

TFLEP is a laser-based procedure for selected patients with benign prostate enlargement that obstructs urine flow. It removes excess prostate tissue to relieve urinary symptoms. The choice of laser technique depends on the patient's condition, prostate anatomy, available technology, and the surgeon's clinical assessment.

Kidney Stone Treatment – RIRS

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat suitable kidney stones. A flexible endoscope is passed through the urinary tract to reach the kidney, where laser energy can break stones into smaller fragments. Stone size, location, urinary anatomy, and infection risk help determine the most suitable treatment.

Mini-PCNL for Kidney Stones

Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (Mini-PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgical option for selected kidney stones, particularly larger or complex stones. A small access tract is created through the skin into the kidney so that the stone can be fragmented and removed. Imaging and clinical evaluation help determine whether the procedure is suitable.

Bipolar TURP for Prostate Enlargement

Bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an endoscopic procedure used to remove obstructive prostate tissue in men with benign prostate enlargement. It may be recommended when urinary symptoms remain troublesome or complications develop despite other management. Treatment decisions depend on the patient's symptoms, prostate characteristics, and medical history.

Laser TURBT for Bladder Tumours

Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) is used to examine and remove selected bladder tumours through the urethra without an external incision. Laser techniques may be used in appropriate cases. The tissue removed is assessed to establish the tumour type and depth, helping guide further treatment and follow-up.

Urethroplasty and Reconstructive Urology

Urethroplasty is a reconstructive operation used to repair urethral narrowing, particularly when a stricture is complex or has returned after previous treatment. The surgical approach depends on the location, length, and cause of the narrowing. Proper assessment helps determine the expected benefits, risks, and recovery plan.

Pyeloplasty for Urinary Tract Obstruction

Pyeloplasty is a reconstructive procedure used to correct a blockage where the kidney connects to the ureter. The obstruction may interfere with urine drainage and, in some cases, affect kidney function. Depending on the patient's condition, the repair may be performed using minimally invasive techniques.

Hypospadias Repair

Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis rather than at its tip. Surgical repair may help improve urinary function and, when needed, correct associated curvature. The timing and technique depend on the child's anatomy and specialist evaluation.

Vesicoureteral Reflux Treatment

Vesicoureteral reflux occurs when urine flows backward from the bladder toward the ureters or kidneys. Management depends on the severity of reflux, age, urinary infections, and any effect on the kidneys. Selected patients may require surgical correction, including minimally invasive anti-reflux procedures.

Radical Cystectomy and Neobladder Reconstruction

Radical cystectomy involves removing the bladder and may be recommended for selected patients with invasive bladder cancer. When appropriate, a neobladder can be constructed using a segment of intestine to provide an alternative way to store and pass urine. Eligibility depends on cancer characteristics, kidney function, general health, and individual treatment goals.
