RECONSTRUCTIVE UROLOGY
Reconstructive urology surgery can help patients with conditions such as birth defects, cancer, neurological disorders, male and female incontinence, strictures, scar tissue in the urinary tract organs, and pelvic floor prolapse. Reconstructive urology can also help repair traumatic injuries to the kidney, ureter, bladder, and genitals. Traumatic injuries are often associated with pelvic fractures that can happen as a result of motor vehicle accidents or falls and can often lead to scar tissue formation in the urethra.
Following Reconstructive Urology Procedures Are Done At Our Hospital
- Urethroplasty :: Urethroplasty is an open surgical reconstruction or replacement of the urethra that has been narrowed by scar tissue and spongiofibrosis (urethral stricture). Urethroplasty is the gold standard for urethral reconstruction with the best and most durable results.
- Ureteric Reimplantation :: Ureteral reimplantation is usually performed to treat high grade (Grade III-V) vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), where reflux is associated with calyceal blunting and, at times, ureteral dilatation. Untreated VUR can result in chronic/recurrent UTIs, renal scarring, renal insufficiency, hypertension, and impaired somatic growth.
- Pyeloplasty :: Pyeloplasty is the surgical reconstruction of the renal pelvis (a part of the kidney) to drain and decompress the kidney. In nearly all cases, the goal of the surgery is to relieve a uretero-pelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. During pyeloplasty, a 2-3 inch cut is made just below the ribs. The obstructed segment of ureter is removed. The normal caliber ureter is then reattached to the renal pelvis.
- Augmentation Cystoplasty :: Augmentation cystoplasty, also known as bladder augmentation, is a surgery to make the bladder larger. This is performed in people who have trouble urinating because of certain health problems or conditions.
