  Urologist Specialist Urologists   are experts in treating ailments that affect the urinary system, which involves the kidney, adrenal glands, urethra, bladder, and ureter in both males and females. All conditions affecting the prostate, penis, epididymis, testes, and seminal vesicles in males are also treated by them. Urologists also treat cancer in these organs and are skilled to perform urologic surgeries as well. When should you seek the advice of a urologist? For all urinary conditions, from minor illnesses like urinary tract infections or stones to serious conditions involving kidney/bladder/ prostate cancer , you can contact a urologist specialist. If your symptoms last for a long time or do not go away, your primary care physician will typically send you to a urologist.

  Pyeloplasty Surgery in Bangalore A pyeloplasty is a procedure used to treat pelviureteric junction obstruction. The pelviureteric junction is the junction between the kidney and the ureter. Why is a pyeloplasty operation performed? A pyeloplasty is done to cure the condition where the tube that takes urine from the kidney and into the bladder is obstructed, causing the urine to flow back into the kidney. If not treated at the proper time, it may result in infections, pain, and a reduction in renal function.   Pyeloplasty surgery  can aid in addressing these problems and prevent them from recurring or getting worse. A pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction can be primary since birth or secondary or acquired. In primary PUJO, an adynamic segment of the ureter or rarely a crossing vessel can result in a narrowing that obstructs the flow of urine. Secondary causes include stones, Reflux disease, benign strictures, and malignancy. Ultrasounds and other imaging tests like a CT Urogram or

  Treatment for urinary incontinence Urinary incontinence is a common condition prevalent in society but is often suppressed or taken lightly as part of the aging process. However, it can affect any age group causing an embarrassing issue; hence, early diagnosis and   treatment for urinary incontinence   is recommended. What is urinary incontinence? When the bladder loses its ability to hold the urine resulting in unintentional release or leaking of the urine, the condition is called urinary incontinence. The brain sends signals to the bladder when it is full, to release urine. The sphincter opens up and makes way for the urine to flow out of the bladder to the urethra and then finally out of the body. Any fault in this complex coordinated system can lead to urinary incontinence.  There are some reliable treatments for urinary incontinence that can reverse and effectively treat the condition which is:  Medications:  The doctors would try to treat urinary incontinence with medication t

 Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy robotic-assisted Hysterectomy A  robotic-assisted hysterectomy  involves a procedure in which your uterus is removed by doctors using robotic arms. Compared to conventional techniques, it provides a quicker healing period with the least postoperative pain score. With this technique, surgeons can move more precisely and with a larger range of motion than they could with their hands alone. They also get a high-resolution, three-dimensional view of the surgical site. Various forms of robotic hysterectomy Based on your health and diagnosis, your  Urogynecologist  may suggest one of the various kinds: Subtotal hysterectomy, in which the cervix is left in place but the uterus is removed entirely. A radical hysterectomy is done for cancer of the cervix which involves not just the removal of all uterine tissue, cervix, tubes, and ovaries but also surrounding tissue where cancer might have spread which is decided based on the stage of cancer. Robotic-assisted hyst

 Robotic pyeloplasty Robot assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty What is Pyeloplasty? A pyeloplasty is an operation to correct a PEU obstruction, where the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder (bladder) is narrowed at its junction with the kidney and does what?  Which helps the kidney to drain properly and hence enhances its function. How is it done? The operation can be performed by the well-known open approach or keyhole surgery and can be done with or without robotic assistance. What is the open pyeloplasty procedure? Open pyeloplasty is a surgery in which a surgeon drains your kidney using a 12-18 cm incision to improve kidney function. What is Robotic Assisted Surgery? This is a technique where a robotic console is placed next to you.  3 robotic arms are attached to the console;  Two are for instrument attachment and the other arm is for a high-magnification 3D camera so the surgeon can see your abdomen(s).  The two robotic arms have the ability to hold various instruments attach
