Best Urology Hospital in Jaipur

What is Urology?

Urology is the medical field that studies the urinary tract and reproductive system. The urinary tract includes all the organs producing, storing, and releasing urine. At the same time, the reproductive system includes organs that produce eggs or sperm and support their development.

The female reproductive system is a series of organs that work together to produce and release an egg and provide a place for the fertilised egg to grow until it is ready to be born. The female reproductive system comprises the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, labia majora and labia minora. The ovaries are a pair of glands in which eggs form. Fallopian tubes carry the eggs to the uterus, which fertilises the egg. The cervix allows the fluids to pass in and out of the uterus. The vagina allows sexual intercourse and channels menstrual flow. Labia Majora and Labia Minora are skinfolds to protect the vaginal opening from dryness and infections.

The male reproductive system is involved in the production, storage, and delivery of sperm. 

The testes are the primary producers of sperm and testosterone. They sit within the scrotum, a skin sac that contains two testes. The penis delivers sperm to a female during intercourse. It has three cylinders surrounded by muscles that contract and relax to allow penetration during intercourse.

Diagnosis Facilities

• Uroflowmetry

Uroflowmetry measures the rate at which urine flows out of the body. It diagnoses bladder problems and incontinence. Uroflowmetry measures the flow rate using a special catheter that measures how much urine is in the bladder after voiding. This catheter has an inflatable balloon on its tip, and when you press your finger against it to stop the flow, it expands and then deflates as urine exits your body. The time it takes for this balloon to deflate is recorded as part of the test results.

• Cystoscopy

A cystoscopy is a procedure used to examine the inside of the bladder.  A tiny camera goes into the bladder to observe any abnormalities or infections. Cystoscopy diagnoses urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and blood in the urine. It can also test for bladder cancer.

• Biopsy

A biopsy removes a tissue sample from the body, and a pathologist examines it to determine whether there is any disease present or diagnoses the presence of cancer. There are two biopsies: an excisional biopsy removes a piece of tumour tissue, while an incisional biopsy takes a sample of cells between healthy cells. A urologist may perform a biopsy to check for conditions like kidney stones and cancer in the bladder, prostate, or testicles.

Treatment Facilities

• Renal Transplants

Renal transplantation introduces a healthy kidney from a donor body to someone who needs a renal transplant due to kidney disease or failure. At Manipal Hospitals, Jaipur, we offer laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and robotic recipient surgery to ensure that the donor has minimal pain. We also offer preemptive kidney transplants, highly antigenic kidney transplant surgery, re-transplantation and transplantation in HIV-positive patients, and ABO-incompatible kidney transplants.

• Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

PCNL is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small incision in the skin to insert a thin tube called a nephroscope, allowing doctors to view the urinary tract to remove stones. PCNL treats renal and upper urinary tract stones by removing stones from the kidney, ureter, or bladder.  PCNL helps patients experiencing kidney stone symptoms or chronic kidney stone problems.

• Prostate Surgery

Prostate surgery removes the prostate gland and surrounding tissue from the body. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen. Patients who have Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) may undergo Laser Prostatectomy (HoLEP), in which a laser removes only the part of the prostate gland that is causing problems, or conventional surgery (TURP), where surgeons remove all of the prostate glands and surrounding tissues. Patients with prostate cancer treatments may undergo Transrectal Ultrasound Scan (TRUS)_ biopsy, in which two tiny needles are inserted into the prostate to take samples for examination under a microscope; Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy, in which a robotic arm removes the entire prostate gland plus some of the tissue around it to prevent further chances of infection or relapse.

• Endourology

Endourology is a subspecialty that involves using small instruments and internal endoscopes to view the urinary tract and perform surgery. The term "endourology" comes from the Greek words for "inside" and "the study of." Endourology treats conditions like kidney stones, bladder cancer, and prostate cancer. It also diagnoses diseases like diabetes, which can affect the kidneys. Endocrinologists perform minimally invasive procedures using tiny instruments through small incisions in the body. Endourology is helpful for complex cases where traditional open surgery would be too risky or difficult to do to diagnose or treat a condition.

• Laparoscopic and Robotic Urology

Laparoscopic urology uses a camera and small incisions in the abdomen to see internal organs. It treats urinary obstruction, kidney stones, and tumours. Robotic Urology uses robots to perform precision urological procedures. It is a boon for patients with previous urological problems.

• Reconstructive Urology

Reconstructive urology treats congenital disabilities and injuries, corrects adverse effects of surgery, and reroutes areas of the urinary tract and reproductive organs. Reconstructive urology helps patients with myriad upper and lower tract reconstructive problems.

• Cystectomy

A partial cystectomy removes the partial bladder, while a radical cystectomy removes the entire bladder. A partial cystectomy can be partial in that it only removes part of the wall of the bladder, or it can remove only some of the inner lining and mucous membrane. A radical cystectomy removes all of these parts.

• Penectomy

Penectomy removes the entire penis or part of the penis. Total penectomy involves the removal of the whole penis and scrotum, and partial penectomy removes only part of the penis. Total penectomies happen when no other options are available to treat cancer or fatal infection. Partial penectomies can treat disfigurement or cancer.

• Partial or Radical Cystectomy

When bladder cancer has spread beyond the original cancer site or has returned after treatment, a partial or radical cystectomy is needed to treat it. A partial nephrectomy removes a part of the bladder if cancer has not spread outside the bladder wall. In a radical nephrectomy, surgeons remove the entire bladder and some surrounding tissue to treat tumours that have spread.

• Radical Orchiectomy

Doctors use radical orchiectomy to treat patients with prostate, kidney and bladder cancers. They also use the process to treat enlarged prostate. In radical orchiectomy, surgeons remove testicles from the patient's body.

• Ureteroscopy (URS)

Ureteroscopy (URS) is a minimally invasive procedure to treat abnormalities in the ureters. It identifies the cause of Hydronephrosis (kidney urine build-up), resulting in pain, infection, and kidney failure. URS also removes ureter stones.

• Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is a minimally invasive procedure that removes kidney stones by using small incisions in the back. The surgeon uses a camera to access the kidney and remove the stone inside it. This surgery leaves minimal external scars, making it an attractive option for many people who want a less-invasive surgery.

• Urethroplasty

Urethroplasty is a surgical procedure to repair the urethra, a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The process corrects a urethral stricture, a narrowing of the urethra, or treats urinary incontinence, an inability to control urination. The procedure happens under general anaesthesia and takes about two hours. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen to stretch the narrowed area of your urethra.

• Lithotripsy

Lithotripsy is a shock wave therapy used to destroy kidney stones. It works by sending shock waves through the body that break up the stone into smaller fragments, which are then excreted naturally through urination. Lithotripsy devices are called lithotriptors. They create shock waves and direct them to a specific body area. 

Patients with moderate to severe kidney stone pain undergo this procedure. 

• Penile Prosthesis

A penile prosthesis provides erections for men who have lost the ability to get an erection on their own. The device has two inflatable cylinders: one inside the body and one outside. There are two types of penile prosthesis surgery: open or minimally invasive. In open surgery, an incision in the groin area, whereas minimally invasive procedures use minor or no cuts.
