Endo Urology
Overview
Endo urology is a specialized field that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of urological conditions using minimally invasive techniques. It primarily involves endoscopic procedures to treat diseases of the urinary tract, such as kidney stones, prostate problems, and bladder issues. Through small incisions or natural body openings, endo urology offers effective treatments like lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and laser therapies, resulting in less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring for patients.
Benefits
•Minimally invasive techniques reduce pain and recovery time.
•Smaller incisions or natural openings are used, leading to less scarring.
•Shorter hospital stays and faster return to daily activities.
•Targeted treatments that minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
•Highly effective for treating urological conditions like kidney stones, prostate enlargement, and bladder issues.
Procedure
•Endo urological procedures are performed using specialized instruments like cystoscopes, ureteroscopes, and lasers.
•These tools are introduced into the body through small incisions or natural openings such as the urethra.
•Treatments like laser lithotripsy (for kidney stones), ureteroscopy (for blocked urine flow), and TURP (for prostate enlargement) are commonly performed.
Treatment
•Laser Lithotripsy: Breaks down kidney stones into smaller fragments, allowing them to pass more easily.
•Ureteroscopy: Treats blockages or infections in the ureter and kidney by removing stones or tumors.
•Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): Removes parts of the prostate that may obstruct urine flow.
•Laser Surgery for Bladder Conditions: Removes tumors, polyps, and other growths with precision.
