UROLOGY

UROLOGY:

Urology is the department that treats female and male reproductive organs and urinary tract diseases. It deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases related to organs such as kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, penis, testicles, scrotum, and prostate gland. Urology includes both the infection in the urinary tract and the surgical interventions of the urinary system. The name given to all diseases related to the reproductive system and urinary tract is known as “urogenital disorders.” The urology system deals with the reproductive and excretory system, especially in men. In women, it mostly deals with the diseases of the excretory system. Since the reproductive system and the excretory systems in women should be examined as a whole, urology works with a gynaecologist. mediglobe health tourism provides you the best treatment for urology diseases.Thank you for choosing mediglobe health tourism for your urology diseases.

What is Cystoscopy?

A cystoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the lining of the bladder and the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) using a thin, lighted instrument called a cystoscope. It is performed by a urologist to diagnose or treat urinary issues, such as blood in the urine, infections, or pain, by allowing a direct view of the area via a camera on a screen.

What is Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) surgery?

A Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a common, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH). It involves removing the inner, obstructing portion of the prostate gland using a resectoscope inserted through the urethra, requiring no external incisions. It requires a 1–4-day hospital stay, typically under spinal or general anaesthesia, with a catheter left in place for 1–3 days to assist with healing.

What is a Radical Prostatectomy procedure?

A radical prostatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the entire prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and sometimes surrounding lymph nodes to treat localized prostate cancer. It aims to remove all cancer cells, usually performed via robotic-assisted laparoscopy, open retropubic, or perineal incision. The procedure, lasting 90 minutes to 4 hours, reconnects the bladder to the urethra and typically requires a temporary catheter for healing.

What is a Prostate Biopsy procedure?

A prostate biopsy is a medical procedure, usually lasting 15-30 minutes, where a urologist uses a thin needle to remove small tissue samples from the prostate gland to check for cancer cells, typically guided by imaging like ultrasound. It is performed under local or general anaesthesia via the rectum (transrectal) or skin between the scrotum and anus (transperineally), and generally allows for same-day discharge.

What does a Vasectomy do?

A vasectomy is a safe, quick (10-20 minute) outpatient surgical procedure that provides permanent contraception for men by sealing, tying, or cutting the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles. It prevents sperm from entering the semen, making it over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

What is a Ureteroscopy procedure?

Ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, usually performed under general anaesthesia in 1–3 hours, to remove kidney stones or treat ureteral conditions. A thin telescope is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter or kidney to locate, fragment (with Laser Lithotripsy), and remove stones, often avoiding incisions.
