Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis)
Kidney stones, also known as nephrolithiasis, are one of the most common urological conditions treated at Patwardhan Hospital. These hard deposits of minerals and salts can cause severe pain and discomfort. The Urology Department offers a comprehensive range of treatments for kidney stones, including:
- Medical Management: For small kidney stones, medication and lifestyle changes may be recommended to help pass the stones naturally.
- Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): This non-invasive procedure uses shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller fragments that can be easily passed through the urinary tract.
- Ureteroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of a thin scope to locate and remove stones from the ureter.
- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): A surgical procedure used for larger stones, involving a small incision in the back to remove the stones directly from the kidney.
- Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): Using a laser, RIRS allows for the precise removal of stones from the kidney through a flexible scope inserted via the urethra.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition that affects men as they age. It involves the enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, and difficulty starting and stopping urination. At Patwardhan Hospital, the Urology Department offers advanced treatments for BPH, including:
- Medication: Alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors are commonly prescribed to relax the muscles of the prostate and reduce its size.
- Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): A minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes the obstructive part of the prostate.
- Laser Therapy: Techniques such as Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) provide effective relief by removing excess prostate tissue.
- UroLift System: A revolutionary minimally invasive procedure that lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way, allowing urine to flow freely.
