Procedures we do
Urinary stones can cause extreme discomfort for patients. Laser lithotripsy is a technique that is widely used for the treatment of kidney stones. In this minimally invasive procedure,
a laser breaks up kidney stones into very small particles. These particles can then be easily and painlessly passed out of the body in a patient’s urine.
How is it performed?
- Before the procedure, you might be required to undergo a physical examination, X-ray and imaging tests to determine the exact size and location of the stones.
- On the day of the procedure, our anaesthesiologist will make sure you are comfortable and at ease. They will then administer general anaesthesia.
- The doctor will insert a ureteroscope, a very thin and hollow instrument, into your urethra to enter your body.
- Depending upon the location of the kidney stones, the doctor will use the ureteroscope to enter your bladder, ureter or kidney.
- Once the doctor locates the stone, they will insert a fiber through the hole of the ureteroscope that will shoot a strong light beam at the stones.
- This beam will break up the kidney stones into small particles, which can then be collected by inserting a basket.
- Any granular pieces which remain can be easily passed out through the urine. The entire procedure will take around 1 hour.
In some cases, if a person is experiencing incontinence, frequent urination or shrinking of the bladder, a bladder augmentation procedure might be recommended. In this procedure,
the size of the bladder is enlarged. Medically known as augmentation cystoplasty, this is an invasive procedure in which incisions are made in the abdomen.
How is it performed?
- An anaesthesiologist will first administer general anaesthesia. This will ensure you remain unconscious for the entire duration of the procedure.
- The surgeon will first make an incision on the abdomen and, once they enter, make a small incision right at the top of the urinary bladder.
- The surgeon will then surgically remove a part of the small or large intestine, cut the tube open and stitches this to the opening made in the bladder. In some cases, a section of the stomach might be cut and used in the same way.
- This will increase the overall capacity of the bladder and resolve many of the complications faced.
An enlargement of the prostate in men can lead to urinary issues like frequency and difficulty urinating. TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is a type of surgery that
can help resolve urinary problems that are caused by an enlarged prostate. This procedure is recommended if medication hasn’t been effective.
How is it performed?
- An anaesthesiologist will administer general or local anaesthetic to you. This will ensure you do not experience any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
- A resectoscope is the main device used during this procedure. It is a thin tube with a camera and light attached to the end.
- The resectoscope is inserted through your urethra until it reaches the prostate. This will avoid making incisions in the skin.
- The resectoscope includes a loop of wire at the end. Once the tube reaches the prostate, this loop of wire is heated using an electric current and is used to cut away a portion of the prostate.
- After this, a catheter is inserted through the urethra and pumps fluid into the area. This fluid is used to remove the pieces of prostate that have been cut.
