Radical prostatectomy removes the prostate to treat selected prostate cancers. The decision brings together biopsy findings, scans, cancer risk and your priorities. Your surgeon discusses keyhole approaches and the expected effects on urinary and sexual function.
Persistent pelvic pain and urinary symptoms can have several causes. A urologist reviews your symptoms, tests and previous treatment to distinguish infection from chronic pelvic pain and related problems. Treatment is tailored to the cause and the effect on your daily life.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) removes larger or more complex kidney stones through a small opening in the back. Imaging maps the stone and the safest route to it. Your urologist considers stone size, infection, kidney function and whether treatment needs more than one stage.
Vasectomy blocks the tubes carrying sperm. The no-scalpel approach uses a small opening to reach these tubes. A consultation gives you time to discuss permanence, alternatives and the semen test needed to confirm the result.
Lower urinary tract symptoms include urgency, frequent trips, a weak stream and difficulty emptying. They can come from the prostate, bladder or urinary passage. Assessment identifies the cause so treatment addresses your particular pattern of symptoms.
Kidney cancer surgery removes a tumour or the affected kidney. Your specialist reviews the tumour’s size and position, staging scans and the function of both kidneys. The plan aims to treat the cancer while preserving healthy kidney tissue where appropriate.
Ureteroscopy passes a fine camera through the urinary tract to reach a stone. A laser can break the stone into smaller pieces for removal or passage. Your urologist reviews the stone’s location and size and compares this approach with other treatment options.
Bladder stones can cause discomfort, interrupted urine flow or repeated infections. A urologist confirms the stone and looks for reasons the bladder is not emptying fully. Endoscopic treatment breaks and removes the stone through the urinary passage where suitable.
Benign prostate enlargement can narrow the passage from the bladder and cause a weak stream, frequent urination or difficulty emptying. Your urologist reviews symptoms, urine flow and prostate size to recommend medicines or a procedure suited to your needs.
Bladder cancer care depends on how deeply the tumour has grown and its grade. A scope-based resection can diagnose and treat some tumours, while more extensive disease may need a different operation and additional treatment. Your urology team explains the sequence for your findings.
