The
branch of Urology (or Uro-surgery) was developed
as an offshoot of general surgery. Many conditions
such as urinary stones, enlarged prostate, cancers
of urinary tract, congenital defects of urinary
tract (birth defects), male infertility etc.
were initially managed by general surgeons.
However since the sixth decade of the previous
century, urology started to emerge as a separate
specialty. After the introduction of endoscopes
and techniques of endoscopic surgery this offshoot
blossomed into a super specialty by itself.
No medical institution is complete without a
well-developed department of Urology.
The
same tradition is followed by Bhaktivedanta
Hospital. The department of urology came into
existence since the day the hospital started
to function. The department is furnished with
the state of art modern equipments required
to carry out urological operative procedures.
The
URO-OT (operation theatre) is furnished with
the following equipments:
|
- Latest C-arm image intensifier which is a
x-ray unit required for most of the endourological
operations.
- Cysto-urethroscopes of various sizes required
for various different urological procedures.
(Manufactured by Karl Storz, Germany).
- Ureteroscope and Nephroscope (Manufactured
by Richard Wolf, Germany).
- Pneumatic Lithoclast required for fragmentation
of urinary stones within the urinary tract.
- Endo camera with monitor for better visualization
of the interior of the urinary tract through
the endoscopes.
|
The
department of urology consists of three well-trained,
well-experienced and qualified urologists who
are in this field since many years and are competent
to carry out complicated urological surgeries
such as: |
- Removal of kidney stones by a keyhole surgery
called Percutaneous Nephrolithotripsy (PCNL)
- Removal of ureteric stones endoscopically
(Ureteroscopic contact lithotripsy)
- Endoscopic removal of bladder stones (Cystolithotrity)
- Endoscopic removal of prostate gland or bladder
cancer (TUR)
- Operations for congenital defects of urinary
tract both by open surgery and endoscopic surgery.
- Operations for urinary tract cancers.
- Kidney transplants.
- Operative procedures for male infertility
and many other urological surgical procedures.

Various
other departments in the hospital such as the
X-ray, sonography and C.T scan department, the
nephrology & dialysis department, the pathology
department are complementary to the urology department
for providing the best possible health care to
the patients.
The department also takes keen interest in counseling
the patients with the matters regarding prevention
of urinary stones and cancers, and early detection
of prostate cancer.
Every working day of the week we have a urologist
visiting the hospital to cater to the patients.
