Treatment  Facilities

 

  • Cystectomy

A partial cystectomy is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the bladder is removed. It can be partial if only a portion of the bladder wall or the mucous membrane and inner lining are removed. The bladder is completely removed during a radical cystectomy.

  • Endourology

Endourology is a subspecialty of urology that involves using small instruments and endoscopes to view the urinary tract and perform surgery. The main difference between endourology and general urology is that endocrinologists have specialised training to perform minimally invasive procedures using tiny instruments through small incisions in the body. Endourology treats conditions like kidney stones, bladder cancer, and prostate cancer.

  • Penile Prosthesis

One method for treating erectile dysfunction in males is a penile prosthesis. To facilitate an erection while pumping, a pump is inserted into the penis during surgery. For males suffering from erectile dysfunction, a penile prosthesis is incredibly helpful.

  • Lithotripsy

In Lithotripsy treatment, kidney stones are broken by sound waves. The incision is made against the patient's skin in the vicinity of their kidneys using a lithotriptor instrument. Patients experiencing moderate to severe pain from kidney stones are advised to try it.

  • Laparoscopic Urology

Urinary blockage, kidney stones, and tumors can all be treated surgically in laparoscopic urology. It views interior organs through tiny abdominal incisions and a camera.

  • Partial or Radical Cystectomy

When bladder cancer has returned after treatment or has progressed beyond the original disease location, a partial or radical cystectomy is required as a form of treatment. If the cancer has not gone outside the bladder wall, a partial nephrectomy removes only a portion of the bladder.
To treat tumors that have spread, doctors perform a radical nephrectomy, which involves removing the bladder along with some surrounding tissue.

  • Penectomy

A penectomy is a surgical procedure in which the entire or a portion of the penis is removed. The entire penis and scrotum are removed during a total penectomy. A partial penectomy, on the other hand, eliminates just a portion of the penis. While a total penectomy is performed when all other alternatives have been exhausted to treat a deadly infection or cancer, a partial penectomy can treat disfigurement or malignancy.

  • Prostate Surgery

Prostate surgery treats prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate enlargement. It involves removing the prostate gland and surrounding tissue from the body through an incision in the lower abdomen.

Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) undergo laser prostatectomy (HoLEP) or conventional surgery (TURP). Patients undergoing prostate cancer treatments undergo TRUS biopsy or robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. 

  • Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a minimally invasive treatment that involves making a small incision in the skin to introduce a thin tube called a nephroscope. It enables medical professionals to see the urinary tract and extract stones.
PCNL extracts stones from the kidney, ureter, or bladder to treat renal and upper urinary tract stones. Patients with a history of kidney stones or those experiencing symptoms can benefit from PCNL.

  • Reconstructive Urology

Reconstructive urology is the branch of urology that helps reconstruct, repair, or reroute parts of the urinary tract and reproductive organs to help restore the normal functions of the urinary system.
Reconstructive urology addresses birth defects, trauma, and post-operative side effects. For a variety of upper and lower tract reconstructive issues, including Boari Flap, Laparoscopic/Robotic Pyeloplasty, Ileal Replacement of the Ureter, and Augmentation Cystoplasty, it provides exceptional outcomes.

  • Radical Orchiectomy

Radical orchiectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove the testicles to treat prostate cancer or other cancers of the bladder, kidney, or prostate. Cancers that have spread to other bodily parts are also treated by it.

  • Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)

Kidney stones can be removed from the kidney by minimally invasive surgery called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), often referred to as percutaneous nephrolithotomy. There won't be many visible scars from this procedure because it involves tiny incisions in the back. To enter the kidney and remove the stone within, the surgeon utilizes a camera.

  • Renal Transplants

We provide renal transplants at Charak Hospital in Lucknow using the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy technique, which minimizes pain for the donor and guarantees that their kidney is in good enough condition for transplantation. To guarantee a successful renal transplant, we also assess possible donors, prepare recipients, perform recipient surgery, and cross-match tissue types. In addition, we provide ABO-incompatible kidney transplants, highly antigenic kidney transplant surgery, re-transplant, and preventive kidney transplants. Make an appointment with Charak Hospital, Lucknow's top urology & kidney transplant hospital to receive the best urology and renal care possible.

  • Urethroplasty

The surgical treatment known as urethroplasty is used to repair the urethra, which is the tube that conveys pee from the bladder to the external environment. Urinary incontinence, or the inability to regulate one's urinating, is treated with urethroplasty, which also heals urethral strictures, or narrowing of the urethra.

There are two sections to the urethra:

1. The urethral proximal segment, which extends from the bladder to the clitoris, the tip of your penis.

2. Your prostate gland marks the beginning of the distal section of the urethra, which terminates at your urine opening.
 

  • Ureteroscopy (URS)

Ureteroscopy (URS) is a procedure that treats abnormalities in the ureters, which are the tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. To diagnose and cure these disorders, URS inserts a tiny telescope into the urethra.
Surgeons will use a rigid or flexible scope depending on the situation—the flexible scope is better for bladder stones.
Ureteroscopy enables surgeons to diagnose and treat the causes of urine buildup in the kidneys, which can cause pain, infection, and kidney failure.

Frequently Asked Questions 

The Urology Department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive system. This includes diseases and disorders of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, and urethra. Common conditions treated include urinary tract infections, kidney stones, prostate enlargement (BPH), urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and urological cancers such as prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer.

Symptoms that might indicate the need for a urology consultation include frequent or painful urination, blood in the urine, difficulty starting or maintaining a urine stream, nocturnal urination, lower abdominal pain, pelvic pain, and unexplained back pain. Additionally, issues like erectile dysfunction, infertility, or painful ejaculation in men, and pelvic organ prolapse in women, are also reasons to seek a urologist's advice.

Diagnostic evaluations in urology can include urine tests to check for infections or blood, blood tests to assess kidney function, imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI to visualize the urinary tract and reproductive organs, and specialized tests such as cystoscopy (to examine the inside of the bladder) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing for prostate health. These tests help in accurately diagnosing urological conditions.

Treatment options vary significantly based on the specific condition. They can range from lifestyle changes and medication for simple conditions like UTIs to more complex interventions for cancers or severe functional disorders. Surgical treatments are common for issues like kidney stones, enlarged prostate, and urological cancers. Minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery, are often used to provide faster recovery and less pain. For chronic conditions like incontinence, therapy, lifestyle modifications, and possibly surgical interventions may be recommended.
