UROLOGY
Mini PCNL
Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (Mini PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove kidney stones. It is especially suitable for patients with larger stones or those who have not responded to conservative treatments. During Mini PCNL, a small incision is made in the skin, and a nephroscope is inserted directly into the kidney through a tube.
This allows the surgeon to visualize and extract the stones using specialized instruments. The miniaturized approach results in less tissue damage, reduced postoperative pain, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional PCNL. Patients often experience shorter hospital stays and can return to normal activities sooner. Our dedicated surgical team focuses on providing effective care and support throughout the process.
RIRS
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones located in the renal pelvis and calyces. During RIRS, a flexible ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra and bladder into the kidney, allowing the surgeon to visualize the stones directly.
Once the stones are located, they can be fragmented using laser technology and then removed using specialized tools. RIRS offers several advantages, including minimal recovery time, reduced postoperative pain, and no external incisions. Patients typically experience a shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal activities. Our skilled team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support throughout the RIRS process.
TURP
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate that can obstruct urine flow. During TURP, a resectoscope is inserted through the urethra, allowing the surgeon to remove excess prostate tissue that is pressing against the urethra.
The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia and usually takes about an hour. Patients often experience significant improvement in urinary symptoms, such as reduced frequency and urgency. Recovery time varies, but many individuals return to normal activities within a few weeks. Our dedicated healthcare team provides comprehensive support to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal outcomes for patients undergoing TURP.
PCNL
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove large kidney stones. During PCNL, a small incision is made in the back, allowing access to the kidney through a nephroscope. This enables the surgeon to directly visualize and remove the stones using specialized instruments.
PCNL is typically recommended for patients with large stones or those who have not responded to other treatments. The advantages of this procedure include shorter recovery times, reduced postoperative pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week. Our experienced surgical team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support throughout the PCNL process.
Urethral Reconstructive Surgery
Urethral reconstructive surgery is a procedure aimed at repairing or reconstructing the urethra, often necessary due to conditions such as strictures, trauma, or congenital abnormalities. This surgery may involve techniques like urethroplasty, where damaged sections of the urethra are removed and replaced with tissue grafts or nearby healthy tissue.
The procedure can improve urinary function and alleviate symptoms such as pain or difficulty urinating. Recovery typically involves monitoring for complications and gradual resumption of normal activities. Our dedicated surgical team provides personalized care, ensuring effective treatment and support throughout the recovery process for patients undergoing urethral reconstructive surgery.
Laparoscopic Urological Surgery
Laparoscopic urological surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to treat various urological conditions, including kidney stones, prostate issues, and bladder tumors. By using small incisions and a camera (laparoscope), surgeons can perform complex procedures with greater precision while minimizing tissue damage.
Benefits of laparoscopic surgery include reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery. Common procedures include laparoscopic nephrectomy (kidney removal), prostatectomy (prostate removal), and bladder surgeries. Our skilled surgical team is committed to providing comprehensive care, ensuring effective treatment and support throughout the surgical process and recovery for optimal patient outcomes.
Genito Urinary Surgery
Genitourinary surgery encompasses surgical procedures related to the urinary system and male reproductive organs. This field addresses various conditions, including kidney stones, tumors, bladder disorders, and prostate issues. Common procedures include laparoscopic nephrectomy (kidney removal), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), and bladder reconstruction.
Surgeons utilize both open and minimally invasive techniques, with a focus on reducing recovery times, minimizing pain, and enhancing patient outcomes. Postoperative care often includes monitoring for complications and providing support for a smooth recovery. Our dedicated surgical team is committed to delivering comprehensive care and personalized treatment plans for patients undergoing genitourinary surgery.
Male Infertility Treatment
Male infertility treatment focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of fertility issues. The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and semen analysis to assess sperm count, motility, and morphology. Treatment options may involve medications to correct hormonal imbalances, surgical interventions like varicocele repair or vasectomy reversal, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) with sperm retrieval methods. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and exercise, can enhance fertility. Our dedicated team provides personalized care and support throughout the treatment process to help couples achieve their parenting goals.
Surgery for Incontinence
Surgery for incontinence aims to address urinary leakage that can result from various conditions, such as weakened pelvic muscles or nerve damage. Common surgical options include:
Sling Procedures: These involve placing a mesh sling under the urethra to provide support and prevent involuntary leakage during activities like coughing or exercising.
Colposuspension: This procedure lifts and supports the bladder neck to help maintain proper urinary control.
Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS): For severe cases, an AUS can be implanted to provide control over urination.
Recovery times vary, but most patients experience significant improvement in symptoms. Our experienced surgical team offers personalized care to ensure effective treatment and support throughout the recovery process.
Pyeloplasty
Pyeloplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a blockage or narrowing in the ureter where it connects to the kidney, often caused by a condition known as ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the obstructed segment of the ureter and reconstructs it to restore proper urine flow from the kidney to the bladder.
Pyeloplasty can be performed using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, which typically offer shorter recovery times and less postoperative pain. Most patients experience significant relief from symptoms and improved kidney function following the surgery. Our dedicated surgical team is committed to providing comprehensive care and support throughout the treatment process.
Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows a healthcare provider to examine the bladder and urethra using a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera, called a cystoscope. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, though sedation may be used in some cases.
Cystoscopy can help diagnose various conditions, such as urinary tract infections, bladder stones, tumors, and structural abnormalities. Additionally, it allows for certain treatments, like removing bladder stones or taking biopsies of abnormal tissue. The procedure usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes, and patients can often return to their normal activities shortly afterward. Our experienced team ensures comprehensive care and support throughout the cystoscopy process.

Hypospadias
Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the urethra does not open at the tip of the penis but rather along the underside, which can affect urinary function and, in some cases, sexual function. It varies in severity and can be accompanied by other abnormalities, such as chordee, where the penis curves downward.
Treatment typically involves surgical correction, which is usually performed between 6 months and 18 months of age. The surgery aims to create a new urethral opening at the tip of the penis and may also address any curvature. Early intervention helps improve outcomes, allowing for normal urinary function and improved self-esteem. Our pediatric urology team provides comprehensive care and support throughout the diagnosis and treatment process.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stone removal is a medical procedure aimed at eliminating stones that form in the kidneys, which can cause severe pain and urinary complications. Treatment options depend on the size, location, and type of stone, as well as the severity of symptoms.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): This non-invasive procedure uses shock waves to break up stones into smaller pieces that can be easily passed.
Ureteroscopy: A thin tube with a camera is inserted through the urethra to locate and remove stones, or to break them up with laser energy.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): This minimally invasive surgery is used for larger stones, where a small incision is made in the back to access the kidney directly.
Open Surgery: In rare cases, open surgery may be necessary for very large or complicated stones.
Our dedicated urology team is committed to providing effective treatment and personalized care to help patients manage and prevent future kidney stones.
PUV
Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV) is a condition in which abnormal flaps of tissue in the posterior urethra obstruct the flow of urine in males, often leading to urinary tract issues and kidney damage. This congenital defect is typically diagnosed in infants or young children, and symptoms may include urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infections, and bladder distension.
Treatment often involves surgical intervention to remove the valves, which can help restore normal urine flow and prevent further complications. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preserving kidney function and improving long-term outcomes. Our pediatric urology team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support for families dealing with PUV.
