Urology
Kidney stones, prostate care, robotic urology
Urology covers the urinary tract, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra, and the male reproductive organs, including the prostate. Urologists diagnose and treat conditions such as kidney stones, an enlarged prostate, prostate and kidney cancer, bladder problems and urinary blockages, using medicines, endoscopic procedures, keyhole and robotic surgery. Diagnosis usually involves urine and blood tests, including the PSA blood test for the prostate, and imaging such as ultrasound or CT scans.
Through Medwell, international patients can arrange urology procedures in India including PCNL (kidney stone removal), RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery), ESWL (shock wave lithotripsy), TURP (prostate surgery), radical prostatectomy, robotic partial nephrectomy and cystoscopy. Your urologist confirms the right option after reviewing your scans and test results. According to the NHS, the choice of kidney stone treatment depends on the size and location of the stones.
