 SUPER SPECIALITIES - UROLOGY & ANDROLOGY
 
Our Services & Procedures

Urology is the specialty of medicine concerned with the study of the genito-urinary system along with the treatment of its associated problems and diseases. The organs covered by urology include the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis).

The function of the urinary system can be affected by ageing, hereditary factors, injury, infection, underlying illnesses, or hormonal imbalances that can lead to wide-ranging symptoms such as excessive urine production; prostate cancer restricted urinary flow, frequent, urgent or involuntary urination as well as pain.

Subfields of urology include urologic oncology, stone disease, voiding dysfunction, pediatric urology, sexual dysfunction and male infertility.
 
The services/treatment offered are categorized under:

  • Prostate
  • Kidney Stones
  • Uro-oncology
  • Female Urology
  • Paediatric Urology
  • Impotence and Infertility

Lithotripsy
It is a method of breaking of stones in kidney, ureter and in bladder.

A powerful Allenger Lithotriper uses both X-Ray and ultrasound localization for real time image. This allows the stone to be seen at all times during the treatment. With this machine the patient needs only a light sedative and the pain is minimal. The lithotripter generates shockwaves, which crush dense stones into sand like particles, which easily pass with urine.

• Electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) uses a flexible probe to break up stones with shock waves. The probe is positioned close to the stone through a ureteroscope. Small fragments can be passed by the patient or extracted.

• Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) uses highly focused impulses projected from outside the body to pulverize kidney stones anywhere in the urinary system. The stone usually is reduced to sand-like granules that can be passed in the patient's urine. Large stones may require several ESWL treatments. This is a OPD procedure and patient can be attending to his day to day work.
