Description

Urological surgeries involve procedures to address issues related to the urinary tract and, in males, the reproductive organs. Common surgeries include: Cystectomy: Removal of the bladder, often performed for bladder cancer. Nephrectomy: Removal of one or both kidneys, typically for kidney cancer or severe kidney disease. Prostatectomy: Removal of the prostate gland, usually due to prostate cancer or severe benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Ureteroscopy and Lithotripsy: Used to remove kidney stones by breaking them down or extracting them directly through the urethra. TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate): Minimally invasive procedure to remove prostate tissue in cases of BPH. These surgeries can be open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted, depending on the case. Advances in technology, especially with robotic systems, have improved precision, recovery time, and outcomes for patients undergoing urological procedures.
