What is Urological Surgery?
Urological surgery refers to surgical procedures that address diseases and conditions affecting the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive system. These surgeries are performed to treat cancers, remove obstructions, repair anatomical abnormalities, or restore urinary and reproductive function.
At Karnataka Cancer Hospital, our urological services include both open surgeries and robotic-assisted techniques, ensuring optimal outcomes with minimal trauma. Our surgical offerings include:
- Nephrectomy– Removal of all or part of the kidney, typically for cancer or severe kidney damage.
- Ureterectomy – Surgical removal of part or all of the ureter, often performed for urothelial cancer.
- Radical Cystectomy– Removal of the urinary bladder for bladder cancer, often followed by reconstruction.
- Prostatectomy– Surgical removal of the prostate gland, typically due to cancer or benign enlargement.
- Penectomy– Partial or total removal of the penis in cases of penile cancer.
- Penile Implants– For erectile dysfunction when other treatments fail.
- Neobladder Reconstruction– Creating a new bladder from intestinal tissue after bladder removal.
Why is Urological Surgery Needed?
Urological surgery may be required for a variety of medical conditions involving the kidneys, bladder, prostate, urethra, and male genitalia. Common reasons include:
- Urological Cancers: Including kidney cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and penile cancer.
- Obstructive Uropathy: Blockages in the urinary tract due to stones, strictures, or tumors.
- Urinary Incontinence: Severe cases where surgical intervention is necessary.
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Enlarged prostate causing urinary issues.
- Traumatic Injuries: To the urinary tract or genitalia requiring reconstruction.
- Erectile Dysfunction: Severe cases managed with penile implant surgery.
- Congenital Anomalies: Structural problems in the urinary system from birth.
Delaying necessary urological procedures can lead to worsening symptoms, chronic kidney damage, infections, or the spread of cancer. Early surgical intervention not only relieves symptoms but also prevents long-term complications.
