Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
Our consulting complex features examination rooms equipped with bedside ultrasound devices, enabling our doctors to make immediate assessments and reduce patient waiting times. This cutting-edge technology allows for efficient and accurate diagnoses, ensuring that patients receive timely and appropriate care.
Patient Information: Bedside ultrasound examinations are non-invasive and painless. They provide real-time images of your urinary system, allowing for quick and accurate diagnoses without the need for additional appointments.
Specialized Services
1. Urodynamics Laboratory
- Performs multiple tests including:
- Cystometry
- Uroflowmetry
- Urethral pressure profile
- E.M.G external sphincter
Patient Information: Urodynamic tests help diagnose problems with storing and passing urine. These tests are generally painless but may cause slight discomfort. They typically take about 30-60 minutes to complete and provide valuable information about your bladder and urethral function.
2. Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripter (ESWL)
- Minimally invasive treatment for urinary stones
- Carefully selected cases for optimal outcomes
- Post-treatment analysis of stone fragments for prevention strategies
Patient Information: ESWL is an outpatient procedure that usually takes about an hour. You may experience some discomfort during the procedure, but it's generally well-tolerated. Recovery is typically quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days.
3. State-of-the-Art Operating Theatres
- Five fully-equipped operating rooms
- Flexibility for both endoscopic and open procedures
- Advanced endoscopic treatments for stones and tumors in the upper and lower urinary tract
- Open procedures for tumors, stones, and congenital anomalies
Patient Information: The type of surgery you undergo will depend on your specific condition. Endoscopic procedures are minimally invasive and often result in quicker recovery times. Open surgeries may require a longer hospital stay and recovery period. Your urologist will discuss the best option for your situation.
4. Comprehensive Ancillary Services
- Advanced radiology and laboratory support
- Imaging services including ultrasonography, CT, and CT-guided procedures
- Specialized care for kidney and prostatic lesions
Patient Information: These diagnostic services are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. CT scans involve exposure to radiation, but the benefits usually outweigh the risks. Your doctor will explain the necessity and safety of each procedure.
Conditions Treated
1. Male Infertility
- Detailed investigations including hormonal profiles and testicular biopsy
- Tailored treatment plans based on diagnostic results
Patient Information: Infertility investigations can be emotionally challenging. Our team provides supportive care throughout the process. Testicular biopsies are usually performed under local anesthesia and are relatively quick procedures.
2. Impotence (Erectile Dysfunction)
- Extensive evaluations including hormone assays and penile Doppler studies
- Personalized treatment schedules
Patient Information: ED is a common condition that can significantly impact quality of life. Our comprehensive evaluations help identify the underlying cause, which is crucial for effective treatment. Treatments may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions.
3. Benign Prostate Disease
- Comprehensive clinical evaluation and office procedures
- Medical therapy and surgical options, including TUR of the Prostate
- Advanced NIAGRAPV LASER SYSTEM (KTP Laser) for BPH management
Patient Information: BPH is very common in older men. Treatments range from medications to minimally invasive procedures. The KTP Laser system offers a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery, often resulting in quicker recovery and fewer side effects.
4. Nephrolithiasis (Kidney Stones)
- Thorough biochemical investigations to determine underlying causes
- Multiple treatment options:
- ESWL (Lithotripsy)
- Endoscopic stone removal
- Percutaneous Nephro Lithotomy (PCNL)
Patient Information: Kidney stones can be extremely painful. Treatment choice depends on stone size, location, and composition. ESWL and endoscopic procedures are minimally invasive, while PCNL is used for larger stones. Recovery times vary but are generally shorter with minimally invasive options.
5. Pediatric Urology
- Treatment of congenital malformations in the genitourinary tract
Patient Information: Pediatric urological conditions can be stressful for both children and parents. Our team is experienced in providing child-friendly care and support throughout the treatment process. Many conditions can be corrected with minimally invasive procedures.
6. Urinary Incontinence and Micturition Disorders
- Complete urodynamic studies to diagnose and treat various micturating abnormalities
Patient Information: Incontinence can significantly impact quality of life but is often treatable. Urodynamic studies help pinpoint the cause of bladder control issues. Treatments may include pelvic floor exercises, medications, or minimally invasive procedures.
Expert Surgical Care
Our skilled urologists offer a full range of surgical interventions, including:
- Open urological surgeries
