There arises the need for kidney surgery depending on the seriousness of a kidney condition. Urologists suggest kidney surgeries when there occurs acute kidney failure that restricts the ability of the kidneys to filter waste. Several reasons contribute to causing kidney failure and arising the need for surgery. Cervical cancer, Nerve damage involving the nerves that control the bladder, and Prostate cancer are few to name amongst many others. Removal of part or whole kidney to prevent the spread of disease or cancer is Nephrectomy. With advanced laparoscopic surgery facilities, experts of Skope prefer kidney surgeries to be laparoscopic.

Kidney Stone

Accumulation of waste in the Kidneys leads to the formation of clumps known as kidney stones. Lack of fluid in the body does not allow waste to pass out with urine, and thus it accumulates in the form of granules in the kidney. Tiny granules many times pass with urine and cause no problem. However, there are chances when they grow in size and become large. It leads to blockage in the urinary path causing severe pain in the lower abdomen, nausea, and vomiting. Experts recommend treatment after diagnosing the facts like the size of the stone, what it is made of, whether it is causing pain and whether it is blocking the urinary tract. Minimally invasive surgery has proven to give successful results when it comes to the removal of kidney stones. Laparoscopic surgery facilitates the extraction of kidney stones using different techniques. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a surgical procedure that employs small telescopes and surgical instruments to remove kidney stones. Small incisions in the back facilitate the passing of long, thin tubes. Ureteroscope facilitates the removal of kidney stones using a camera and laser to break stones into tiny pieces that flush out with urine. For some kidney stones, the doctor may recommend a procedure called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The process uses sound waves to create strong vibrations, shock waves that break the kidney stones into tiny pieces that pass through urine.

Ureteric Stone

Kidney stones many times get stuck in one or both ureters. The ureter is a small tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. It is almost the same dimension as our veins, making it easy for large kidney stones to get lodged in tubes. Blockage in the urinary path causes severe pain and discomfort may time, arising the need for medical intervention. Diagnosis involves CT scan and ultrasounds that produce cross-sectional images of the inside of the abdomen and pelvis. Treatment involves shock wave lithotripsy. Here shock waves are focused o break up the stones into smaller pieces, which can then pass through the rest of the urinary tract and out of the body without any extra help. In ureteroscopy Urologists, thread a thin tube with scope into the urethra and up into the ureter. The stone can be removed directly or broken up with a laser into smaller pieces that can pass on their own. Removal of Large stones needs experts to perform Percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A small incision on the back helps to remove the stone through the incision with a nephroscope.

Bladder Stone & Prostate Surgeries

The bladder holds the urine from the kidneys till the person passes it out. Sometimes due to health issues bladder is not empty after a person passes urine. The urine that remains in the bladder has substances that start to stick together and form crystals until they form a bladder stone. Diagnosis involves the application of various modern techniques ultrasound, CT scan, X-ray, and physical examination. Treatment involves cystolitholapaxy. It is a process of performing cystoscopy to find the stones and then targeting them with ultrasound, laser, or some other tool through the cystoscope to break up the bladder stones and flush out the tiny pieces. Bladder stones large in size and hard in texture often need surgery. Laparoscopic surgeon in Jalandhar is making Prostate surgery easy and less tiring for patients suffering from an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer. The goal of laparoscopic surgery is to remove prostate tissue and restore the normal flow of urine. Many times there is no need for complete removal of the prostate gland. Partial removal of affected tissue from the gland helps in maintaining urine flow. Endoscopic and prostate laser surgery involves the removal of prostate tissue through minimal invasion. Laparoscopic surgeons insert a fibre-optic scope through the tip of the penis into the urethra and remove prostate tissue that’s blocking the urine flow. Benign prostate hyperplasia needs experts to make small incisions in the prostate and bladder neck to widen the urethra. Sometimes there may arise the need to cut pieces of enlarged prostate with surgical instruments. The tissue pieces will go into the bladder and flush out at the end of the procedure.

Urological Cancer

The abnormal growth of cells along the urinary tract forms a cancerous tumour. It affects the organs and structures of the female urinary system and male reproductive system. These organs include the bladder, kidneys, prostate, penis, and testicles. Fortunately, the advanced diagnosing and treatment innovations keep the urologic cancers confined to the organ, restricting their spread. Many of the diagnostic and treatment procedures are laparoscopic. Minimally invasive techniques facilitate treating cancers of the male and female urinary tract. Experts at Skope have hands-on experience in treating urinary tract malignancies using a variety of tools and technologies. They can tailor the treatments to specific cancer and are also able to reduce side effects and address issues of sexual function.
