- Urology
The surgical specialty of urology focuses on conditions affecting the kidney, urinary bladder, prostate, testicles, and penis. It addresses conditions including:
- Stones in the urinary system.
- Lower urinary tract symptoms.
- Prostate related problems.
- Kidney or ureteric obstruction.
- Recurrent Urinary tract infections (UTI).
- Male infertility.
- Male sexual dysfunction.
- Malignancies of the kidney, bladder, ureter, testicles, and penis.
- Congenital disorders of the genitourinary tract, such as pelvic ureteric junction blockage, vesicoureteric reflux, posterior urethral valves, etc.
- Different voiding dysfunctions.
The urological surgeries performed are as follows,
Endourology
Endourology deals with surgeries that need little or no incision. Endourology is conducted utilizing small endoscopes and instruments as opposed to open surgery. The foundation of endourology has been transurethral surgery. The urethra allows access to most of the urinary tract, making possible for:
- Stone surgery.
- Prostate surgery.
- Urothelial tumor surgery.
- Simple urethral and ureteral procedures.
- The following are the Endourological surgeries performed.
- Cystoscopy
- Flexible Cystoscopy
- EIU for Stricture Urethra
- CLT (Cystolithotripsy)
- TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)
- TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor)
- Deflux / Botox injection in Bladder
- Posterior urethral valves (PUV) Fulguration
- URLS (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy)
- Flexible URSL
- DJ Stenting (GA/LA)
- PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
- PCN (Percutaneous Nephrostomy)
Laparoscopic Urology
- Simple/Radical/Partial nephrectomy for removal of the kidney in case of cancer or other destructive kidney diseases.
- Radical Nephroureterectomy
- Laparoscopic removal of kidney cysts.
- Laparoscopic pyeloplasty for the reconstruction of the urine-collecting system of the kidney for obstruction between the kidney and ureter.
- Laparoscopic adrenalectomy for the removal of the adrenal gland.
- Laparoscopic diverticulectomy for the repair of abnormal pouches in the urinary bladder.
- Reimplantation of the ureter for ureteral stricture, obstruction, and Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
Minor and Major Open Urology
Minor procedures are performed in less invasive ways, but they may still involve major trauma to the body. Major surgery normally involves opening the particular body region, allowing the surgeon access to the area where the procedure needs to be completed. The common minor and major open urological procedures performed here are,
- Meatoplasty / Meatotomy
- Circumcision
- Surgery for varicocele
- SPC (Suprapubic catheterization)
- Epididymectomy
- Torsion Testis - Orchidopexy / Orchidectomy + Contralateral Orchidopexy
- Testicular Biopsy
- Hydrocele
- Simple Orchidectomy
- Hernia (including mesh) Hernioplasty / Herniotomy
- Incision and Drainage (I & D)
- Bilateral Orchidectomy
- Nephrology related procedures performed are,
- AV Fistula (Arteriovenous Fistula)
- CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis)
- Hemodialysis
Reconstructive Urology
Reconstructive urology is surgery to restore normal function by repairing, rerouting, or recreating areas of the upper and lower urinary tract and some reproductive organs. Reconstructive urology surgery can help patients with conditions such as:
- Birth defects in the urinary tract or reproductive organs
- Bladder fistulas
- Erectile dysfunction
- Neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease
- Pelvic floor disorders
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Peyronie's disease
- Traumatic injuries to the urinary tract or reproductive organs
- Urethral stricture
- Urinary incontinence
- The most common reconstructive urological procedures are,
- Open Pyeloplasty
- End to End Urethroplasty
- BMG Substitution Urethroplasty
- Redo Urethroplasty
- Ureteric Reimplantation
- VVF (Vesicovaginal fistula) Repair + Ureteric Reimplantation
- UVF (ureterovaginal fistula) Repair
- Blandy’s Stage I Urethroplasty
- Stage I / II Urethroplasty
- Boari Flap
- Bladder Neck Repair
- Bladder Neck Repair + Augmentation + Mitrofanoff
- Bladder Neck Repair + Augmentation Mitrofanoff + Urethral Reconstruction+BNR
- Hypospadias Repair
- TVT (Tension-Free Vaginal Tape)
Oncology or Cancer Surgeries in Urology
Uro-oncology, or urological oncology, treats cancers of the male and female urinary systems as well as the male reproductive organs. The diagnosis, staging, and treatment of urological malignancies that affect the urinary bladder, kidney, prostate, penis, and testicles are the main focus of urological oncology. Our staff of skilled uro oncologists, who have revolutionized the efficient treatment of localized urological cancers, is among the best in the nation. The common procedures performed here are:
- Partial nephrectomy
- Radical nephrectomy
- Radical nephrostomy
- Cystectomy ileal conduit
- Radical prostatectomy
- Partial amputation of penis
- Total amputation of penis
- Inguinal node dissection
- The most common reconstructive urological procedures are,
- Open Pyeloplasty
- End to End Urethroplasty
- BMG Substitution Urethroplasty
- Redo Urethroplasty
- Ureteric Reimplantation
- VVF (Vesicovaginal fistula) Repair + Ureteric Reimplantation
- UVF (ureterovaginal fistula) Repair
- Blandy’s Stage I Urethroplasty
- Stage I / II Urethroplasty
- Boari Flap
- Bladder Neck Repair
- Bladder Neck Repair + Augmentation + Mitrofanoff
- Bladder Neck Repair + Augmentation Mitrofanoff + Urethral Reconstruction+BNR
- Hypospadias Repair
- TVT (Tension-Free Vaginal Tape)
Pediatric Urology
- Pediatric urology is the study of urologic conditions in children. These conditions include:
- Enuresis.
- Undescended testes.
- Congenital anomalies of the genitourinary system.
- Hypospadias.
- Vesicoureteral reflux.
- Pediatric stone disorders.
- Our specialists often carry out intricate laparoscopic treatments, including ureteric reimplantation, pyeloplasty, etc.
Andrology
- The male reproductive system issues are dealt with in andrology. Male infertility and sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory disorders, are its core topics. Urologists diagnose and treat this problem, if necessary, with surgery. This surgical procedure involves:
- Penile prosthetic implantation.
- Testicular Biopsies.
- Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE).
- Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)
- Penile Curvature Surgery.
- Our staff of skilled urologists can regularly perform Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA), Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA), and testicular needle biopsies.
