Endo Urology Care procedures are typically performed with the use of a small camera called an endoscope, which is inserted into the urinary tract through natural openings or small incisions. This allows the urologist to visualize and treat the affected area without the need for open surgery.
Common conditions treated through Endo Urology Care include kidney stones, urinary tract infections, ureteral strictures, bladder tumors, and urethral strictures. The procedures involved in Endo Urology Care include:
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate):
This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The procedure involves using a holmium laser to remove the obstructive prostate tissue that is causing urinary symptoms. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires an overnight hospital stay. HoLEP has a high success rate and low risk of complications.
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery):
This is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones. The procedure involves inserting an endoscope through the urethra, bladder, and into the kidney to visualize and remove the stones. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a short hospital stay. RIRS has a high success rate and low risk of complications.
Supine PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy):
This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat large kidney stones. The procedure involves making a small incision in the back and inserting a scope to visualize and remove the stones. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a short hospital stay. Supine PCNL has a high success rate and low risk of complications.
Endo Urology Care is a rapidly evolving field that has transformed the management of urinary tract diseases and disorders. It offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and reduced risk of complications. Patients who undergo Endo Urology Care procedures generally experience less pain and discomfort and can return to normal activities more quickly.
