DEPARTMENT OF UROLOGY

The department of urology at Metro Multispeciality Hospital offers a comprehensive urological service to diagnose and treat kidney stone disease, urological cancers, incontinence, infertility, impotence, female and paediatric urology, prostatic surgery and other urinary difficulties. The services offered are.

Endourology

All aspects of Endourology (Surgery through a telescope, which does not require open procedures) including treatment of prostate (TURP) , bladder cancers (TURBT), urethral strictures, kidney and ureteric stones (PCNL & URS) are available. Intracorporeal lithotripsy (breaking of stones using endoscopes) using the pneumatic lithotripsy is also available.

Percutaneous renal surgery done by 1 cm hole  in the kidney to remove stones after breaking it into smaller pieces. Even bigger stones and stag can be safely managed with this. Advantage of this procedure is  minimal pain and discomfort and shorter hospital stay i.e less than 48 hours.

Intra-renal stone surgery by flexible scopes and Intra-corporeal lithotripsy

The flexible scopes are passed through the urethra (where one passes urine ) and stones are removed after breaking in to smaller pieces by laser. Here again patients have minimal pain and discomfort and shorter hospital stay i.e less than 48 hours.

Laparoscopic surgery

Most of the urological surgery can be performed by Laparoscopic /keyhole surgery like prostate cancer or ureteric cancer which are done without cutting the abdomen. Metro Multispeciality Hospital offers all kinds of laparoscopic surgery for urological disease. Major advantage is less pain, small scar or no scar, early discharge and early return to work.

Laser for prostatic surgery

Men after the age of 50 years suffer from problems like going to toilet frequently, poor control of urine or difficulty of passing urine etc. It is because of enlargement of the prostate, which can be removed safely by endoscopic method. Metro Multispeciality Hospital now has facility to remove these glands by laser surgery also.

Uroflowmetry

Hospital has the facility of uroflowmetry inside the premises.

Other UROLOGY services are

1. Urinary incontinence (Urinary leak) and  urgency (going to the toilet frequently) and stress incontinence (leaking of urine with cough and laughing or straining) can be investigated and treated with minimally invasive methods.

2.  Children suffer from various urological problems, which needs investigations. Most of the again canbe managed by endoscopic and laparoscopic methods.

Reconstructive Urology

Many reconstructive urological surgeries like pyeloplasty, urethral stricture surgery, hypospadias surgery and other congenital disorder are reconstructed routinely.
