It's also known as acute kidney injury, characterized by elevated serum creatinine (1.5 times more than baseline value prior to 7 days or 0.3 mg/dL or more within 48 hours as per KDIGO) and decreased urine output (<0.5mL/kg/hour for at least 6 hours as per KDIGO). This condition is often reversible and is measured with the help of the global filtration rate (GFR).
Acquired cystic kidney disease is a medical condition in which the kidneys develop cysts (fluid-filled sacs), which is different from polycystic kidney disease. This condition can occur in children and adults who are suffering from chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal failure.
The exact etiology of this condition is idiopathic (unknown); however, the cyst mostly develops in people who are on dialysis (kidney failure). This condition is often asymptomatic; nevertheless, the complications of acquired cystic kidney disease show signs and symptoms such as fever, back pain, and haematuria (blood in urine).
Adrenal glands are small glands that exist above the kidneys, deep inside the upper part of the abdomen. These are rare types of cancer, also known as adrenocortical cancer. Patients with small tumors are asymptomatic; however, the symptoms of tumors that grow press the adjacent abdomen organs and cause symptoms such as pain in the abdomen, pressure feeling, or fullness after eating.
Most adrenal gland cancers do not emerge in the adrenal gland, as these cancers originate from other organs or tissues, metastasize through the bloodstream, and reach the adrenal gland, such as cancer cells from the lung, breast, etc.
Bladder fistula is a medical condition where an opening in the bladder and other organs or the skin forms. There are two types of bladder fistula, depending upon its opening, enterovesical fistula (opens to the bowl) and vesicovaginal fistula (opens to the vagina).
It is caused by damage to the bladder outlet, resulting in bladder outlet blockage. This might occur due to injury or prior surgery, the presence of gynecological cancer, bowel cancer, or inflammatory bowel diseases. The signs of bladder fistula are gas releasing from the urethra, urine that looks and smells like stool, and persistent and recurrent urinary tract infections.
This condition is also known as cystocele, where the bladder ligaments and muscles have stretched or weakened with age. This condition is more often in females; however, it can also occur in males. In women, the vaginal wall supports the bladder; any damage to this wall can prolapse the bladder. Patients affected with this condition usually have pain while passing urine or inserting oral contraceptive products (in females), pelvic pain, vaginal tissue protruding, and leakage of urine while sneezing or exertion or coughing.
Based on the proportion of bladder fall, bladder prolapse is further categorized into four grades (Grades 1 to 4).
A bladder infection is a disease caused by bacteria; urinary tract infection is the most common one. Females are more prone to this condition than males. Patients infected with this condition usually suffer from burning urination(burning sensation while passing urine).
In women, this infection is caused by bowel bacteria that reach the urethra and bladder, whereas in males, it is due to the presence of any obstruction in the normal urine flow (enlarged prostate).
Bladder cancer is a rare form of cancer that initiates in the cells of the urothelium (the lining of the bladder). The cells of the urothelium mutate or multiply abnormally, resulting in bladder tumours. Smoking and tobacco are the major risk factors for bladder cancer.
Based on the bladder cells that are mutated, they are categorized into five types: squamous cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma of the bladder, and sarcoma. Hematuria (blood in urine), pain and trouble while passing urine, frequent urination, and persistent bladder infections are the primary symptoms of bladder cancer.
Bladder diverticula are protrusions of the bladder urothelium and mucosa via muscularis propria (muscle fibers of the bladder wall). They result in a thin-walled structure connected to the bladder lumen and poorly empties during micturition.
Bladder diverticulum affects both adults and children and is caused by either congenital or acquired factors. A diverticulum can form in the bladder if its normal structure or composition is disturbed in any way.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous common condition in men characterized by the proliferation of the prostate gland, resulting in the blockage of urine in the urethra.
The early symptoms of Benign prostatic hyperplasia are sudden urgency to urinate, inability to empty bladder, pain while passing urine, urine incontinence, difficulty in urination, and urine discoloration. The exact cause for BPH is idiopathic (unknown); however, researchers opine hormonal imbalance between testosterone and estrogen might be the causative factor for prostate cell growth.
Cystitis is a bladder inflammation typically caused by a bladder infection. It is a common type of urinary tract infection (UTI), especially in women. Based on the cause, cystitis is classified into five types: bacterial cystitis, drug-induced cystitis, radiation cystitis, foreign body cystitis, and chemical cystitis.
The possible cause of acute cystitis is due to the presence of bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E.coli), Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, lactobacillus etc, consumption of certain drugs, and exposure to radiation.
Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic (long-term) condition characterized by inflamed or irritated bladder walls, which cause painful urinary symptoms. Common symptoms include excessive frequency of urination, urinary urgency, and pelvic pain. The cause is unknown; however, researchers are investigating many theories to understand the exact causes of this condition and find the best treatments.
Cervicitis is a cervix inflammation infection or injury caused by various disease-causing organisms, resulting in acute or chronic cervicitis. It is mainly caused by various sexually transmitted infections, including herpes, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
The symptoms include pain in the pelvic region, prudent discharge associated with pus, urinary problems, bleeding after sexual intercourse or periods, painful urination, and abdominal pain. Patients with multiple sexual partners, unsafe sex, and prior cervicitis are at high risk of having cervicitis.
Chronic prostatitis is defined as pain in the prostate that lasts for at least three months. It can impair sexual function and urination ability. Bacterial infections (Proteus, Klebsiella, or Escherichia coli), pelvic nerve injury, damage to the urinary tract and urinary sphincter, and psychological stress are the probable causes.
An increase in the frequency of urination, pain and difficulty in urination, urinary urgency, testicular and ejaculating pain, difficulty in ejaculating, increased body temperature, nausea, and chills are the symptoms in addition to genital or pelvic pain.
It is a condition that causes stinging, discomfort, burning, or itching in the urethra. Most people, at least once in their lifetimes, experience this relatively common bladder discomfort.: It is caused by both infectious and non-infectious conditions.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the major cause of dysuria. Patients of female gender, diabetes, enlarged prostate, pregnancy, kidney stones, and presence of urinary catheter are more likely to have dysuria. In addition to painful urination, the symptoms include increased body temperature, cloudy or bloody urine, flank pain, and an increase in the frequency of urination are the symptoms of UTI.
It is a long-term kidney disease that affects people with diabetes. It occurs due to prolonged increased glucose levels in the blood, which damage the renal blood vessels.
Changes in blood pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue, vomiting, metallic taste, blood in urine, swollen legs, hands, and feet are the symptoms of diabetic nephropathy.
It is a common childhood disease that describes the uncontrollable urge to urinate, which can happen both during the day and at night.
Repeated bed-wetting, wetting in the clothes, and wetting at least twice a week for nearly three months are the symptoms of enuresis.
An ectopic kidney is a condition where the kidney is not located in its usual position or present above, below, or on the opposite side of the kidney's normal position in the urinary tract. Usually, the two kidneys are located just below the rib cage, middle of the back, on either side of the spine. The exact cause of this condition is idiopathic; however, researchers estimate that an ectopic kidney may result from a weakly developed kidney bud, the presence of a genetic disorder, a problem in the kidney tissue, and the presence of any disease or infection during fetal growth.
An ectopic kidney is usually asymptomatic (doesn’t cause any symptoms or health problems), and it is usually found during a fetal ultrasound or during medical tests done to check for a urinary tract infection or to find the cause of abdominal pain.
Epididymitis is an inflammatory condition of the epididymis (a tube that carries sperms), resulting in pain in the testicles, fever associated with chills, blood in the semen, painful urination, testicular swelling, and redness. This can occur at any age; however, it happens most between the ages of 14 and 35.
It is usually caused by E. coli infection, but in some cases, it is caused by sexually transmitted Mycoplasma or Chlamydia infections.
Ectopic ureter is a congenital abnormality of the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) where the ureter is attached to place other than the bladder such as bladder, neck, rectum, urethra, uterus, cervix, vagina, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles. It can cause Urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, and hydronephrosis.
The exact cause of this condition is idiopathic; however, having a family history of ectopic ureter can increase the risk (50%) of developing an ectopic ureter. The symptoms include trouble controlling the bladder, urine leakage, painful urination, frequent urinary tract infections, and abdomen swelling.
Prostate cancer is a common type of cancer in males that begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow uncontrollably. Prostate cancer is a risk for all men. However, age is the most prevalent risk factor for this condition; hence, it is most common in older men. Signs of prostate cancer include frequent urination or a weak flow of urine.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD), known as end-stage renal failure, is the last, irreversible stage of chronic kidney disease that occurs when kidney function has decreased to the point where the kidneys are no longer able to function independently. Dialysis or a kidney transplant are the only ways an end-stage renal failure patient can live more than a few weeks.
Patients with ESRD might experience various symptoms that include drowsiness, difficulty urinating, skin itchiness, headache, nausea, bone pain, loss of weight, dry skin, etc.
Glomerulonephritis is a condition characterized by inflammation and scarring of the glomerulus. The kidneys' capacity to filter waste products and extra fluid from the blood to produce urine gradually declines.
Medicines (toxins), viral infections (HIV, hepatitis B& C), Lupus-related kidney inflammation, IgA nephropathy, and bacterial (strep or staph bacteria) infections are the causative factors for glomerulonephritis. Increased blood pressure, fatigue, protein in urine, blood in urine, and low urine output are the symptoms of glomerulonephritis.
Haematuria can be defined as blood in urine that can be detected through a urine test. The color of urine turns red or pink. Bladder or kidney cancer, bladder or kidney injury, bladder or kidney stones, kidney failure, polycystic kidney disease, inflammation of bladder or prostate, kidney failure, bleeding disorders such as haemophilia, consumption of blood-thinning medicines, sickle cell disease, low platelet count, etc. are the causes of haematuria.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a syndrome characterized by a sudden and uncontrollable feeling of urgency to urinate. Since it is uncontrollable, the urgency may arise at any time (either during the day or night), usually without warning. The cause is generally unknown, but it is common and may affect people of all ages.
It develops when the kidney cells grow out of control, resulting in an increase in blood pressure, urine in the blood, flank pain, tiredness, loss of hunger, loss of body weight, fever (low grade), bone pain, anemia, and a lump or mass in the kidney.
Smoking, obesity, hypertension, radiation therapy, family history, gene mutations, dialysis treatment, and the presence of tuberous sclerosis complex and Von Hippel-Lindau disease are the primary causes of kidney cancer.
Kidney stones are strong, hard objects composed of chemicals in urine. There are four types of kidney stones: calcium oxalate, struvite, uric acid, and cystine.
Common symptoms include pain, blood in urine, nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills. The most common causes of kidney stones are drinking little water, low exercise, weight loss surgery, obesity, consuming food with too much salt or sugar, family history, and infections. In addition to these, consuming excess fructose can increase the risk of kidney stones.
Meatal stenosis is a urological condition in which the opening end of the pennis becomes narrower than usual.
People with meatal stenosis experience painful or burning urination, difficulty emptying the bladder completely, a drop of blood at the tip of the pennis following urination, narrow and spraying urine, and frequent urination.
Nocturia is a urological condition in which people regularly wake up in the middle of the night to urinate. For an episode of urination to be considered nocturnal, it must be preceded by a period of sleep followed by a urinary episode.
This condition is majorly caused by sleep disorders, global polyuria, bladder functional storage issues, and nocturnal polyuria, though it is multifactorial.
It is defined as a decrease in urine output (< 400ml/day or <20 ml per hour) that indicates an early sign of abnormal renal function. Numerous factors, both apparent and subclinical, can lead to oliguria.
The causative factors are classified as prerenal (hypovolemia, cardiac or myocardial failure, renal vascular thrombosis), renal or intrinsic (vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, malignant hypertension, scleroderma, acute tubular necrosis), and postrenal (upper and lower urinary tract obstruction).
Urethral stricture is characterized by an abnormal narrowing of the urethra, which causes obstructive symptoms. It may be caused by scar tissue or swelling from surgery and also occur after an infection or injury. Rarely, it may occur due to pressure from a growing tumour near the urethra.
Common symptoms include loss of bladder control, painful urination, discharge from the urethra, bloody or dark urine, and pain in the lower abdomen.
It is a condition where one or more pelvic organs sag (slip) out of their normal place and protrude into the vagina due to weakened pelvic muscles. It could be the top of the vagina, the bladder, the bowel, or the uterus. Prolapses can hurt and create discomfort, but they are not life-threatening.
The patient with pelvic organ prolapses may experience a feeling of heaviness around the genitals and abdomen, dragging discomfort inside the vagina, visibility or sensing a bulge or lump out of the vagina, discomfort during sex, unable to empty the complete bladder, leaking a small amount of urine at times of coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
A kidney abscess is a pus formation in a hollow area of the kidney. Patients with renal abscesses might have symptoms that include an increase in body temperature(fever), chills, pain in the abdomen, loss of body weight, pain while passing urine, and blood in urine.
Kidney abscess can be caused by bacteria that spread to the kidney from the blood or from the urine that backs up into the kidney, thereby spreading the infection in the kidney.
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic condition that results in the growth of many fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. In contrast to ordinary kidney cysts, PKD cysts can change the shape of the kidneys, resulting in an increase in their size.
Kidney failure may result from PKD, a type of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that impairs kidney function. Autosomal recessive PKD and autosomal dominant PKD are the two types of polycystic kidney disease. An increase in blood pressure, chest pain, backside pain, blood in urine, and an increase in abdominal size are the symptoms of PKD.
Renal artery stenosis, also known as renal artery disease, is a narrowing or constricting of renal (kidney) arteries that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the kidneys.
People with atherosclerosis (plaque or obstruction that builds up due to fat accumulation on artery walls) are at high risk of renal artery stenosis.
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is a condition where there is a blockage at the junction where the ureter (that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) connects to the kidney (ureteropelvic junction). This results in a decreased flow of urine to the bladder and increased fluid pressure inside the kidney.
It is one of the causes of hydronephrosis in children, and if it is left untreated, it can result in kidney damage.
Horseshoe kidney, also known as renal fusion, occurs when two kidneys are fused together and form a horseshoe-shaped kidney that might be located in a different position than typical kidneys.
It occurs at the stage of fetal development, where the kidney first forms in the lower belly and moves up toward the back of the pelvic area.
Cystitis cystica is a chronic reactive change in the mucosa of the urinary bladder, most likely caused by a chronic urinary tract infection or mechanical irritation.
It is benign and usually seen in the bladder, trigone (three openings that form at the floor of the urinary bladder), and less commonly in the ureters and renal pelvis.
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is characterized by the backward flow of urine from the bladder to one or both ureters and sometimes to the kidneys. It is commonly seen in infants and young children. When the reflux is more severe, the ureters and kidneys may widen and become large, which can be tied to a greater risk of kidney damage if an infection is present.
Voiding dysfunction is an inability to completely relax the bladder neck, urinary sphincter, or pelvic floor during voiding. It refers to a wide range of symptoms, including difficulty emptying the bladder, urinary hesitancy, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and a weak urine stream. It usually occurs due to over-active pelvic floor muscles, and other possible causes include nerve problems and urethra blockages.

We provide comprehensive diagnostic tests; our advanced and latest screening approach examines kidney, bladder, and prostate health with precision. This results in early detection and precise evaluation, enabling our urologist to make an informed decision about proceeding with the appropriate treatment and surgical procedures.
1. Urine Culture: It is a laboratory examination of urine that examines the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast. The term culture is defined as growing microorganisms in a laboratory by providing them with growth promoters in the urine sample. This procedure is used to check for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). Diabetic patients, kidney disease, and regular intercourse (especially with new partners) need to have a regular urine culture test as a part of UTI screening, as these populations are at high risk of UTI.
2. Complete Urine Examination (CUE): A complete urine examination (CUE), also termed a urinalysis, is a diagnostic tool in urology that examines urine's physical, chemical, and microscopic properties. It starts with visual inspection for colour and clarity, followed by dipstick testing to find the presence of abnormalities in urine, such as glucose, protein, blood, or leukocytes. Microscopic analysis examines the sediment for cells, crystals, and casts. This thorough evaluation of urine helps diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders. Abnormalities in urine composition can indicate underlying health issues, indicating further diagnostic steps.
3. Urodynamic Testing: Urodynamic study (UDS) is diagnostic procedure that assesses the functionality of the bladder, sphincters, and urethra that stores and releases urine. This test diagnoses patients with urinary incontinence and measures nerve function, muscle function, bladder pressure, and urine flow rates. The test is indicated if the patient is suffering from urine leakage, pain while urinating, difficulty passing urine, frequent washroom visits, urinary tract infections, or unable to empty the bladder completely.
4. Cystoscopy:
It is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that visualizes the bladder or urethra using a camera known as a cystoscope, which will be inserted into the urethra and pass into the bladder. Flexible cystoscopy and rigid cystoscopy are the two types of cystoscopy. Flexible cystoscopy is used to view the bladder, whereas a rigid can be indicated for therapeutic applications, too. Cystoscopy is indicated to check for blood in urine, frequent urinary tract infections, chronic pelvic pain, difficulty in urinating, and collection of tissue (biopsy) samples to diagnose bladder cancer. Urinary tract infection and unable to pass urine after the procedure are the associated risks of cystoscopy.
5. Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP): It is an imaging test that is used to diagnose problems related to the kidneys or ureters. During this procedure, the radiologists inject an intravenous contrast dye that passes from the kidney into the bladder through the ureter. The X-ray images aid in locating any blockages in the kidneys and ureters as the dye passes through. This procedure is used to diagnose kidney diseases, prostate enlargement, bladder stones, urinary tract injury, and tumors.
6. Kidney Ultrasound: It is a non-invasive diagnostic exam that visualizes the blood flow, shape, size and location of the kidneys. The urologist will be placing an ultrasound transducer on the skin that emits high-frequency ultrasound waves that move through the kidney. These ultrasound waves produce images of the kidney that are presented to the computer. This test is used to diagnose the presence of cysts, obstructions, abscesses, stones and infections of the kidney. In addition, it is indicated after a kidney transplant to evaluate the transplanted kidney.
7. Prostate-specific Antigen Test: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein obtained from both normal and cancer cells of the prostate. The PSA test is used to measure the PSA protein levels in the blood sample. In the case of prostate cancer, there will be increased levels of PSA protein in the blood. In addition to prostate cancer, prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia are the conditions where there will be an increase in PSA levels.
8. Renal scan: It is also known as renal scintigraphy, where the kidneys can be visualized with the help of nuclear radioactive material (radioisotope) that will be inserted into the vein (hand or arm). The images of the kidney can be created when the scanner detects the gamma rays released from the radioisotope. This test can be used to examine the size, shape and structure of the kidney. In addition, it is used to identify and evaluate the reduced flow of blood to the kidneys, high blood pressure in real arteries, kidney diseases, success or rejection of kidney transplant, renal abscesses, tumors, kidney inflammation due to infections, urine backflow from the bladder to the kidney and kidney failure.
9. Ureteroscopy: It is a procedure that is used to diagnose and treat ureter stones. This procedure is done by inserting a ureteroscope (a flexible tube). The ureteroscope consists of an eyepiece and a lens into the bladder through the urethra and up to the ureter to view, locate and remove the stone. Infections, injury and bleeding to the ureters are the risks associated with ureteroscopy.
10. Kidney Biopsy: A kidney biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that involves collecting a small piece of kidney tissue in order to view it under a microscope for indications of kidney damage or injury. In addition to this, kidney biopsy is indicated in the development of treatment plans based on the patient's condition to determine the kidney disease progression, extent of kidney damage, evaluation of prescribed treatment for kidney disease, and monitoring of transplanted kidney, which is failed to perform normal functions.
11. Prostate Biopsy: A prostate biopsy is a diagnostic procedure carried out to sample prostate tissue for analysis, typically to find out the presence of prostate cancer or other abnormalities. The method is often recommended when a patient has abnormal results on a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, digital rectal examination (DRE), or imaging studies like MRI.
12. Bladder BIopsy:
A bladder biopsy is a diagnostic procedure where a small tissue sample is taken from the bladder lining (mucosa) for examination. It is typically performed using a cystoscope. A bladder biopsy is needed when suspicious findings, such as abnormal growths, ulcers, or areas of inflammation, occur during a cystoscopy.
13. Antegrade Pyelogram: It is an imaging test that is used to locate the upper urinary tract blockages that include the kidney, bladder, and ureters. During this procedure, the radiologists inject contrast dye through a needle, which will be placed through the flank area of the back. The radiologists observe the contrast dye movement from the kidney into the ureter and bladder with the help of X-ray images. The X-ray images aid in locating any blockages in the kidneys and ureters as the dye passes through. This procedure is used to locate the urinary tract blockage caused by kidney stones, tumors, blood clots, and strictures (narrowing of the ureter).
1. Adrenalectomy: This is a surgical procedure where one or both adrenal glands will be removed, which are located at the top of each kidney. This procedure is initiated to treat tumors and the production of more hormones from the adrenal gland, which may lead to serious health problems. Blood clots, pneumonia, alteration in blood pressure, injury to adjacent organs, and lack of sufficient hormone production from the adrenal gland are risks associated with adrenalectomy. This procedure can be done by both minimally invasive procedures (laparoscopic, posterior retroperitoneoscopic and robotic surgery) and open surgery.
2. Cystectomy: It is also known as urinary bladder removal surgery, where the entire bladder might include prostrate in seminal vesicles in males and removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and part of the vagina in females. This procedure is indicated for cancer that spreads to the bladder, birth urinary tract irregularities, and inflammatory disorders that affect the urinary system. Infections, damage to adjacent organs or tissues, blood clots, internal bleeding, dislodging of blood clots towards the lungs or heart, and slow wound healing are the risks associated with the cystectomy procedure.
3. Nephrectomy: It is a surgical procedure that involves removal of a kidney. This procedure is indicated to treat kidney cancer, kidney diseases and traumas related to the kidneys. Nephrectomy is also used to remove a healthy kidney for transplantation from a donor who may be living or deceased. Partial and radical are two types of nephrectomies. This procedure can be done through laparoscopic or through open surgery approaches. Post-operative pneumonia, rare allergic reactions to anesthesia, bleeding that requires blood transfusion, and infection are the complications associated with this procedure.
4. Pyeloplasty: This is a surgical procedure that repairs the blockage at the ureteropelvic junction (junction where the ureter attaches to the kidney) and restores the normal urine flow in the ureter (a tube that connects the bladder and kidney). Infection, scarring, hernia, blood clots, and rarely injuries to the small intestine, large intestine, stomach, liver, spleen, ovary, fallopian tube, and major blood vessels are the risks associated with the pyeloplasty procedure.
5. Urethrotomy: It is a surgical procedure used to treat the narrowing of the urethra (a tube that carries urine and semen to the penis). This procedure is done with the help of a rigid telescope that will be inserted into the urethra to examine the narrowing. Through the urethrotomy (which consists of a small blade), the surgeon will make a cut in the scar tissue (that causes narrowing) and make the urethra wider. Chest infection, bleeding, allergic reactions to the equipment or medications used in the procedure, swollen penis, and difficulty passing urine are the complications associated with the procedure.
6. Bladder Augmentation: This procedure, also known as cystoplasty, is a surgical procedure that is used for bladder enlargement by using a section from a small or large intestine to hold more urine. This procedure is indicated if the patient is having urine leakage, Loss of tendency to hold urine in the bladder, bladder stiffness or increase in urine frequency, and inappropriate bladder muscle function. Slow healing, swelling, infection, bruising, anesthesia risks, hematoma formation or hernia, and unfavorable scarring are the risks associated with this procedure.
8. Ureteral Reimplantation: This procedure, also known as ureteroneocystostomy refers to reimplantation of the ureter into the bladder. This procedure is indicated in adult patients to treat trauma or disease conditions that involve the lower third portion of the ureter, resulting in obstruction or fistula. In children, this procedure is used to treat vesicoureteral reflux (backward flow of urine from the bladder into the ureters). Haematuria (blood in urine), infections, bladder spasms, urine extravasation and ureter obstruction are the acute complications associated with ureteral reimplantation. Urinary fistula, Contralateral reflux, Ureteral obstruction, and Persistent reflux are the long-term complications.
9. Cystolithalopaxy: Cystolithalopaxy is usually performed procedure that is indicated to treat bladder stones. The surgeon might insert an instrument known as a cystoscope (flexible tube with a camera) to visualise the exact location of the stone(s). A laser beam will be passed to the stone, resulting in crushing the large stone into small pieces. Transurethral cystolitholapaxy and percutaneous suprapubic cystolitholapaxy are the two types of cystolithalopaxy procedures. Urethra scar tissue, excess bleeding, blood clots in the legs, and reoccurrence of bladder stones are the complications of cystolitholapaxy.
10. Prostatectomy: Prostatectomy is the surgery indicated to remove a part of the prostate gland through the penis. The urology surgeon get access to the prostate by inserting a resectoscope that contains a camera and valves to control irrigating fluid to the end of the penis through the urethra. The resectoscope is also equipped with an electrical wire loop that cuts the tissue and seals the blood vessels. The urology surgeon uses the wire loop to remove the obstructed tissue in the urethra one piece at a time. The irrigating fluids transport the tissue fragments into the bladder , were they are later flushed out at the conclusion of the surgery.
11. Lithotripsy: Lithotripsy is a minimally invasive approach to disintegrating renal stones into small pieces so that they can easily move through the urinary tract and be expelled from the body. Different lithotripsy techniques include shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) and laser lithotripsy. In SWL, high-energy shock waves are applied to kidney stones from outside the body, aiming to break them into pieces to be discharged with the urine. In laser lithotripsy, a thin scope is inserted in the urinary tract to indicate and break the stones using laser energy. Lithotripsy is considered more effective than the traditional surgical approach because of its lesser recovery time.
12. Retrograde IntraRenal Surgery (RIRS): RIRS is a noninvasive procedure for kidney stones located within the kidney and upper urinary tract. This minimally invasive procedure is effective for medium to large complex kidney stones located anatomically in the critical position. In this procedure, an incision is not required; the surgeon inserts the flexible ureteroscope (a thin, lighted instrument with a camera) through the urethra and bladder into the ureter and kidney. With the help of navigational equipment, the urology surgeon navigates and visualizes the stone. Once the stone is identified, specialized tools like laser fibers and the basket are used to break the stone and collect it. The stone is extracted utilizing the retrieval basket or flushed out naturally through urine.
13. Percutaneous Nephrostolithotomy (PCNL):
Percutaneous Nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove large kidney stones that cannot be treated with other methods, like shock wave lithotripsy. This procedure is done under general anesthesia. To gain direct operating access to the kidney, a surgeon makes a small incision on the patient's back. A nephroscope is then inserted through the incision to locate and remove the stones. Laser or ultrasonic energy may be used to break it to extract large stones.
14. Urethral Sling Procedures:
This minimally invasive procedure treats stress urinary incontinence in women and men. In a urethral sling procedure, a synthetic mesh sling is placed under the urethra to support and lift it to its normal position. This helps prevent urine leakage during activities that could increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting. This procedure effectively treats urinary incontinence and bladder control issues and has a high success rate.
15. Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) Placement: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) placement is a surgical procedure to treat severe urinary incontinence caused by sphincter impairment that can happen in case of prostate surgery resection or other urinary system dysfunction. The AUS consists of a cuff, a pressure-regulating balloon (reservoir), and a control pump. The cuff is placed around the urethra, the balloon is positioned within the abdomen, and the control pump is placed in the scrotum. The surgeon carefully connects the cuff, ballon, and pump to ensure proper AUS function and effective control of urine flow. This whole procedure is performed under local anesthesia by making an incision on the lower abdomen around the bladder and urethra.
16. Urethroplasty:
A urethroplasty is a surgical procedure used to treat the narrowing of the urethra, the tube that the body uses for eliminating urine. It improves easier flow of urine.
Urethroplasty is often referred to as the best option for treating urethral stricture. Urethroplasty is used when optical urethrotomy and urethral dilatation are ineffective, or when the urethral stricture is too long. Over the stricture, the surgeon makes an incision, either on the penis or in the skin between the scrotum and the anus (the perineum). Postoperative complications, other than recurrent stricture, include scrotal swelling, urethral fistula, erectile dysfunction, and post-void dribbling.
