Understanding Endourology: A Minimally Invasive Approach to Urological Care
Urology has evolved dramatically over the years, and one of the most significant advancements in the field is Endourology. It has revolutionized the way many urological conditions are diagnosed and treated — without the need for large incisions. At Dr. Parvez Ahmad’s clinic, we specialize in advanced endourological procedures that ensure faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and high success rates.
What is Endourology?
Endourology is a sub-specialty of urology that deals with the closed manipulation of the urinary tract using endoscopes and minimally invasive instruments. Rather than traditional open surgery, endourology allows urologists to treat a range of conditions internally, via natural pathways like the urethra or small punctures.
This approach offers immense benefits including:
- No major incisions
- Shorter hospital stays
- Less postoperative pain
- Quicker return to daily activities
Conditions Treated with Endourology
At Dr. Parvez Ahmad’s Urology Centre, we use endourological techniques to diagnose and treat the following:
1. Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis)
- URS (Ureteroscopy) and RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) are used to remove stones from the ureter or kidney without any cuts.
- PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) for large or complex kidney stones using small incisions.
2. Prostate Enlargement (BPH)
- TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is the gold standard for treating enlarged prostate using a resectoscope via the urethra.
3. Bladder Tumors
- TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor) helps in removing tumors from the bladder without external incisions.
4. Ureteral Strictures
- Treated using endoscopic laser incision or balloon dilation techniques.
5. Ureteric Obstruction and Injuries
- Managed using endoscopic stents or laser treatments.
