Urology
Best Urology Hospital in Region
Urology is a field of medical science, which focuses on the health of the urinary system, i.e., it deals with the diseases of the Kidney, Urinary bladder, Prostate gland, Testis and Penis. It treats various conditions like Urinary tract infections, male sexual dysfunction and male infertility. It also addresses the tumours of the Kidney, Ureter, Bladder, Prostate, Testis, and Penis.
Congenital anomalies of the genitourinary tract, like pelvic ureteric junction obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), posterior urethral valves etc., are treated at S.N. Super Speciality Hospital by a team of experts.
Urology deals with kidney transplantation, also various voiding dysfunctions treated under this speciality.

Endourology
Endourology is the branch of urology that deals with minimally invasive surgical procedures. Unlike open surgery, endourology performed using small endoscopes and instruments inserted into the urinary tract. Transurethral surgery is the cornerstone of endourology. Most of the urinary tract can be reached via the urethra, enabling prostate surgery, stone surgery, and simple urethral & ureteral procedures
· Better success rate
· Early catheter removal
· Decreased blood loss
· Decreased pain
· Speedy recovery
· Minimum hospital stay
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a rapidly evolving branch of urology and has replaced several open-surgical procedures, nephrectomy, prostatectomy, and pyeloplasty are well-established procedures in the field of urology which are available at S.N. Super Speciality Hospital.
Laparoscopic procedures
- Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (for renal tumour)
- Laparoscopic simple nephrectomy (for non-functional kidney)
- Laparoscopic ureteric re-implant (for ureteric stricture/ UVF)
- Laparoscopic pyeloplasty (for PUJO)
- Laparoscopic orchidopexy (for UDT)
Reconstructive Urology
Reconstructive Urology, a highly specialized field of urology, deals with congenital anomalies of the genitourinary tract – vesicoureteral reflux, obstruction in the pelvic ureteric junction, urethral stricture disease and other reconstructions of genitourinary tract post-trauma, to restore the functions.
Neuro Urology
Neuro-urology focuses on nervous system control of the Genito-urinary system and conditions that cause abnormal urination. Neurological diseases and disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injury disrupt the lower urinary tract. They may result in urinary incontinence, over-activity, urinary retention, and detrusor sphincter dyssynergia. Urodynamic studies play an essential diagnostic role in neuro-urology. Therapy for nervous system disorders includes clean intermittent self-catheterization of the bladder, anticholinergic drugs, Botulinum toxin injection into the bladder wall and advanced yet less-commonly used treatments such as sacral neuromodulation. Less marked neurological abnormalities can cause urological disorders as well. For example, anomalies of the sensory nervous system are thought by many researchers to play a role in diseases of painful or frequent urination (e.g. painful bladder syndrome, formerly known as interstitial cystitis).
Urogynaecology
The branch which deals with female pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and other voiding dysfunction in women is known as Urogynaecology. Various fistulas such as ureterovaginal and vesicovaginal also form part of Urogynaecology. Only an expert Urologist/Uro surgeon with extensive knowledge of the female pelvic floor and urodynamic skills can effectively diagnose and treat these disorders. Based on the cause of an individual’s problem, the line of treatment, such as medical or surgical, is decided.
Andrology
Andrology focuses on the male reproductive system. It is mainly concerned with male infertility, erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory disorders. Andrology overlaps with endocrinology, as hormones primarily control male sexuality. Surgeries in this field include fertilization procedures, vasectomy reversals, and the implantation of penile prostheses. Vasectomies may also be included here, although generally, urologists perform this procedure.
Urologic Oncology
Urologic oncology concerns the surgical treatment of malignant genitourinary diseases such as prostate cancer, adrenal glands, bladder, kidneys, ureters, testicles, and penis. The medical treatment of advanced genitourinary cancer is managed by either the best urologist, urology doctor or oncologist in Region, depending on the spread and stage of the tumour.
