Endourology in Yeshwanthpur

What is Endourology?

Endourology is a branch of urology in which minimally invasive procedures are used to carry out surgical procedures within the urinary tract. An endoscope is a primary instrument used to view internal abnormalities before operating on them.

Miniature cameras along with surgical tools, lasers, retrieving baskets, etc. are inserted through the endoscope which is a thin and flexible tube. This is inserted through the urethra into the urinary tract and used for surgery. Endourology in Yeshwanthpur is available at Manipal Hospitals, visit today.

The advantage of this type of surgery is that there is no residual scar on the skin as no incision is made. There are no risks of getting an infection on the skin and is thus beneficial for diabetic patients or others who are easily prone to infections. 

Common Endourological Procedures

  • Ureteroscopy

This is when the upper urinary tract is examined minutely with the help of an instrument called the ‘Ureteroscope’. This is inserted inside the outer urethra into the bladder and finally through the ureter. Any medical conditions of the ureter are analysed here like stones (calculi) or tumours. 

  • Celioscopy

It is also called keyhole surgery as a keyhole incision is performed within the abdomen or any of the specific pelvic cavities.

  • Cystoscopy 

This is where the endoscopy of the urinary bladder is performed in order to operate on bladder calculi or tumorous growths. Also, this type of endoscopy helps in the removal of prostate tissues that have overgrown or are obstructive. This form of surgery is called ‘Transurethral Resurrection of the Prostate’ (TURP). Plastic tubes known as ‘stents’ which are flexible are inserted into the ureter in this cystoscopy procedure and any blockage is effectively removed.

  • Nephroscopy

It is a surgical procedure that is used for the removal of stones or tumours present in the lining of the kidneys.

  • Urethroscopy

It is a type of surgery performed within the urethra to remove any blockages inside. 

  • Laparoscopy

It is a type of keyhole examination of the pelvic region via a keyhole incision. It is performed on the abdomen region to reach the kidneys or bladder.

  • Pelviscopy

It is a surgical laparoscopy that is performed on the pelvis in order to conduct surgery on any of the organs within.
