Ailments, Treatment & Surgeries

Lithotripsy

A method of treating kidney and ureteric stones without surgery, using the latest Direx lithotripsy – Delta model. One of the best machines available for the purpose. Both x-ray & Ultrasound controls are available on this machine. The positioning, focussing and delivery of shock waves are all controlled by advanced computerized system with safety cut-offs to prevent damage by human error. Patients does not need any hospital stay and can go home same day.

Percutaneous renal surgery

Here 1 cm hole is made in kidney to remove stones after breaking it into smaller pieces. There is a minimal pain and discomfort and patients can go home in 48 hours. Even bigger stones and stag horn stones can be safely managed with this modality. Some of the patients may also need help of lithotripsy to get complete stone removal.

Intra-renal stone surgery by flexible scopes and laser lithotripsy

Here flexible scopes are passed through the urethra (from where one passes urine) and stones are removed after breaking into smaller pieces by laser. Here again patients can be discharged within 24 to 48 hours.

Endourology

All aspects of Endourology (surgery through a telescope, which does not require open procedures) including treatment of prostate (TURP), bladder cancers (TURBT), urethral strictures, kidney and ureteric stones (PCNL & URS) are available. Intracorporeal Lithotripsy (breaking of stones using endoscopes) using the pneumatic lithotripsy is also available.

Minimally Invasive surgery (Keyhole or laparoscopic surgery)

Most of the urological surgery can be performed by keyhole surgery. Most of kidney surgery whether it is for benign disease or for cancer can be safely performed laparoscopically. In the same way many other urological cancer surgery like prostate cancer or ureteric cancer can also be done without cutting the abdomen. Aarogyam hospital offers all kinds of laparoscopic surgery for urological disease. Major advantage is less pain, small scar or no scar, early discharge and early return to work
