DEPARTMENTS
At Brahm Chaitanya Super Speciality Hospital, located in Pimpri Chinchwad (PCMC), we understand that undergoing uro surgery can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to provide you with clear, concise, and empathetic information to help you make informed decisions about your health. Uro surgery, or urological surgery, is a specialized branch of medicine focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the urinary tract and the male reproductive system.
Uro surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at addressing issues related to the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, and male reproductive organs. These procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques to more extensive surgical interventions, depending on the condition and its severity. Common conditions treated through uro surgery include:
Kidney Stones
Prostate Disorders (e.g., Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or Prostate Cancer)
Urinary Incontinence
Bladder Tumors
Kidney Cancer
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) resistant to other treatments
Congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract
Uro surgery is recommended when conservative treatments such as medications or lifestyle changes fail to provide relief. It is also necessary in cases where immediate surgical intervention is critical, such as obstructed urinary flow due to kidney stones or cancerous growths requiring removal.
At Brahm Chaitanya Super Speciality Hospital, we offer a wide range of uro surgeries performed by highly experienced urologists using state-of-the-art technology. The primary types of uro surgeries include:
Endoscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive technique using a small camera and instruments.
Commonly used for kidney stones, bladder stones, or urethral strictures.
Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery
Advanced procedures offering precision with minimal incisions.
Often used for kidney or prostate surgeries.
Open Surgery
Involves larger incisions and is performed for complex cases like large tumors.
Reconstructive Uro Surgery
Addresses structural abnormalities or damage to the urinary tract.
Pediatric Uro Surgery
Specialized surgeries for children with congenital urinary tract abnormalities.
Preparation is key to a successful surgery and recovery. Here are some steps to expect:
Preoperative Tests: These may include blood tests, urine analysis, imaging scans (e.g., ultrasound, CT, or MRI), and cardiac evaluation.
Fasting Instructions: You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for several hours before the procedure.
Medication Adjustments: Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking. You may need to pause certain medications temporarily.
Discussion with Your Surgeon: This is your opportunity to ask questions about the procedure, expected outcomes, and recovery timeline.
The specifics of your surgery will depend on the condition being treated. Modern uro surgeries are often performed under general or spinal anesthesia to ensure comfort. Procedures are carried out in sterile, high-tech operating theaters equipped to handle complex cases.
Recovery varies depending on the type and complexity of the surgery. However, some general guidelines include:
Hospital Stay: Minimally invasive surgeries may require only a day or two of hospitalization, while open surgeries could necessitate a longer stay.
Pain Management: Medications will be provided to manage postoperative pain and discomfort.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids helps flush the urinary system and prevents infections.
Rest and Movement: While rest is crucial, light movement is encouraged to prevent complications like blood clots.
Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ups are essential to monitor your recovery and address any concerns.
Like all surgeries, uro surgery carries some risks, though complications are rare under skilled hands. Potential risks include:
Infection
Bleeding
Blood clots
Injury to surrounding organs
