Stone Management

Kidney stones originate from the oversaturation of minerals in urine, leading to crystallization. These crystals accumulate to form stones, typically starting at the renal calyces’ tips. Stones may either enlarge in place or traverse the urinary tract, exiting through the urethra. They can be asymptomatic or cause flank pain. Stones moving into the ureter induce sharp, radiating pain, potentially reaching the genital area. In the bladder, they may cause lower abdominal discomfort, painful urination, or interrupted flow, often with nausea or blood in the urine. Prompt medical evaluation is essential for management and relief.

Office Urology

In response to the demands of our fast-paced society, urological care has evolved to prioritise efficiency. Office Urology has emerged as a solution, allowing a variety of urological conditions addressed in day care. We provide an array of services, including Catheterization, Urethral Dilatations, Ultrasonography, Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsy, and Flexible Cystoscopy. We also perform bladder biopsies, fulguration of bladder tumors, DJ stenting, testicular biopsies, lithotripsy, and diagnostic ureteroscopy, along with urodynamic studies.

Prostate Treatment

The incidence of prostate cancer appears to be rising, potentially due to improved early detection methods. The introduction of laparoscopic and robotic techniques has significantly advanced the practice of radical prostatectomy. These minimally invasive surgeries have reduced the need for large incisions and multiple blood transfusions, allowing for a shorter hospital stay. Additionally, patients experience an enhanced quality of life, including social and sexual well-being, following the procedure.

Andrology

According to the World Health Organization, Andrology encompasses the full spectrum of male reproductive health. The discipline primarily concentrates on the physiological and pathological aspects of male reproductive functions, addressing conditions such as erectile dysfunction, sexual dysfunctions, and the impact of aging on male health and lifestyle. This branch of medicine is dedicated to understanding and improving the well-being of men at various stages of life.

Uro Oncology

Globally, cancer rates are increasing, likely due to advancements in early detection and greater life expectancy. The medical community has made strides in offering minimally invasive treatments that enhance post-recovery quality of life. Within Urology, the most prevalent cancers, in descending order, include bladder, prostate, renal, testicular, ureteral or pelvic, and penile cancers. These trends underscore the importance of continued innovation in cancer care and management.

Female Urology

For patients presenting with urinary symptoms, a thorough history and examination are essential, often supplemented by urodynamic studies. Treatment typically involves a multifaceted approach, including medication, behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and pelvic floor exercises. Surgical intervention may be considered for conditions like urinary incontinence, painful bladder syndrome, or overactive bladder when conservative treatments are not effective.

Paediatric Urology

Pediatric urology is a specialized branch of surgery focused on treating genitourinary disorders in children. This field addresses a range of conditions affecting the urinary and reproductive organs, providing both medical and surgical care tailored to the unique needs of young patients.

Reconstructive Urology

Reconstructive Urology focuses on restoring the normal function and structure of the genitourinary tract. This specialty addresses issues caused by congenital defects, trauma, disease, or cancer. The type of reconstruction performed - open, microscopic, endoscopic, or laparoscopic - depends on the specific organ or structure affected. This field plays a critical role in improving patients’ quality of life following urological disruptions.
