Pre-Procedure
Pre-procedure for endo-urology is a process that should be undertaken before any endo-urology procedure is performed. This process includes a complete medical evaluation by a qualified physician, which should consist of a thorough history and physical examination. In addition, all laboratory tests and imaging studies should be completed before the procedure. The physician should also review all medications the patient is taking and ensure that there are no contraindications to the procedure. The patient should be made aware of all the risks and benefits of the procedure before giving their consent. They should also be allowed to ask any questions that they may have. Once the patient has been properly informed and has given their consent, the procedure can be scheduled.
Procedure
Several procedures fall under the umbrella of endourology. Some of the more common procedures include the following,
Ureteroscopy: A thin, flexible telescope (ureteroscope) is passed through the urethra and into the bladder. The telescope is then passed up the ureter to the point of blockage. This procedure is used to treat stones in the ureter or kidney.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL): A small incision is made in the back, and a telescope is passed through the incision and into the kidney. This procedure is used to treat large stones in the kidney.
Cystoscopy: A thin, flexible telescope (cystoscope) is passed through the urethra and into the bladder. This procedure evaluates the bladder for stones, tumours, or other abnormalities.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP): A resectoscope is passed through the urethra and into the prostate. This procedure is used to treat an enlarged prostate.
Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA): A needle is passed through the urethra and into the prostate. This procedure is used to treat an enlarged prostate.
Urethral dilation: A dilator is passed through the urethra to widen the urethral lumen. This procedure treats a narrowing of the urethra (urethral stricture).
Post-Procedure
After the endo urology procedure, follow your doctor's instructions for post-operative care.
