Urological Interventions in Kolkata

The Interventional Radiology Department at Manipal Hospitals, Broadway, Kolkata, excels in providing advanced urological interventions to diagnose and treat a wide range of urological conditions with precision and minimal invasiveness. Urological interventions address issues such as kidney stones, ureteral obstructions, renal artery stenosis, and urinary tract tumours, utilising procedures like Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for kidney stone removal, ureteral stenting to ensure proper urine flow, Renal Artery Angioplasty and stenting to improve blood flow, Embolization for treating kidney tumours or severe bleeding, and Cryoablation to destroy cancerous cells. Advanced imaging techniques, including ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy, guide these procedures, ensuring precise targeting and effective treatment. The benefits of these minimally invasive interventions include reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgical methods. At Manipal Hospitals, Broadway, Kolkata, our team of experienced interventional radiologists collaborates closely with urologists to develop personalised treatment plans, ensuring optimal outcomes and compassionate care for patients undergoing urological interventions. 

 

FAQ's

Small cameras and devices are placed through small incisions or natural openings for minimally invasive urological procedures like Laparoscopic Surgery, Cystoscopy, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL),  Robotic-Assisted Surgery, Laser Surgeryureteroscopy, and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP). This minimises trauma, recovery times, and problems. Larger incisions are made during typical open procedures, which results in increased tissue damage, blood loss, and longer hospital stays. When feasible, minimally invasive procedures are chosen because they produce better patient results and require less time to recover from.
 

A cystoscope, a thin, flexible tube containing a camera, is introduced into the urethra during a cystoscopy diagnostic procedure to view the bladder and urethra. It aids in the diagnosis of diseases such as anatomical anomalies, tumours, stones, and infections. Furthermore, therapeutic procedures, including tumour treatment, biopsies for analysis, and stone removal, are made possible by cystoscopy. This process efficiently directs further care and is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of urological diseases.
 

For the diagnosis and treatment of kidney and ureteral diseases, particularly kidney stones, ureteroscopy is essential. Urologists view the kidney and ureter with a flexible ureteroscope that is put through the urethra. With sophisticated equipment, they can then remove the stones, break them into smaller pieces, or treat other abnormalities like strictures or tumours. Ureteroscopy, which is usually done under anaesthesia, provides minimally invasive options with tolerable post-procedural discomfort.
 

To address benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),  Transurethral Resection of The Prostate (TURP) is performed to eliminate excess prostate tissue causing urethral obstruction. Utilising a resectoscope inserted through the urethra, the surgeon excises the tissue, alleviating symptoms such as frequent and challenging urination. TURP is the preferred treatment for patients with moderate to severe BPH due to its minimally invasive nature, anaesthesia administration, and effective symptom reduction without the risks linked to open surgery.
 

In urology, Robotic-Assisted Surgery offers improved visualisation, dexterity, and precision, making complex movements more accurate. Compared to open surgery, the benefits include less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and smaller incisions that cause less discomfort and scars. Robust systems facilitate the execution of intricate treatments, rendering them appropriate for a range of urological illnesses such as kidney problems and prostate cancer. This, in turn, enhances patient outcomes and quality of life.

 

Shock Wave Lithotripsy, Ureteroscopy with Laser Lithotripsy, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, Medicinal Expulsion Therapy, and dietary changes are non-surgical methods for treating kidney stones. Without requiring surgery, these techniques disintegrate kidney stones or make their passage easier. They are selected according to criteria such as composition, size, and placement of the stone. These procedures offer efficient ways to treat kidney stones while reducing invasiveness and encouraging a faster healing process.
 

Because laparoscopic urological surgeries require fewer incisions, minimise postoperative pain, and expedite recovery, they are favoured over open procedures. In addition, they lessen the chance of infection, improve vision, stop blood loss, and cause less tissue damage. Precise dissection and visualisation are guaranteed in difficult urological situations with the use of laparoscopic procedures. All things considered, laparoscopic techniques are better because they result in better patient outcomes and shorter hospital stays.
 

Kidney stones are broken up into smaller pieces using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), which allows the stones to flow through urine. Under anaesthesia, a lithotripter instrument is used to precisely target stones during this non-invasive process. When compared to surgery, ESWL is less painful, requires less recovery time, and has a lower risk of complications for small to medium-sized kidney stones. All things considered, it offers a less invasive and successful way to treat kidney stones, enhancing patient comfort and healing.
 

The advancement of endoscopic technology has made urological procedures much more accurate and a minimum invasive. Miniature devices allow access to intricate structures with minimal tissue damage. Sharper images are provided by high-definition cameras, enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment. Precise tissue manipulation is made possible by laser technology, which lessens bleeding and enhances results. Procedure times are reduced by the precise instrument tracking provided by navigation systems. With robotics, dexterity for complex procedures is improved, leading to safer and more effective therapies for a range of urological problems.
