    Endourology

    Endourology is a specialised field within urology that utilises minimally invasive techniques to treat urinary tract conditions, including kidney stone disease. During this procedure, kidney stones are fragmented using small instruments inserted into the body through the urethra, bladder, ureter, or kidney.

    At Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, our expert urologists offer specialised endourology services dedicated to treat kidney stones, tumours, and various urinary tract issues.

    Types of Endourological Procedures

    • Urethroscopy: It is employed for managing urethral strictures or blockages.
    • Cystoscopy: Endoscopy of the urinary bladder through the urethra is commonly used for the treatment of bladder stones and tumours. In addition, this technique can be employed to remove obstructive prostate tissue in males, a procedure referred to as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).
    • Ureteroscopy: The evaluation of the upper urinary tract involves using a ureteroscope inserted through the urethra and advanced beyond the bladder, into the ureter. This specialised instrument is employed for treating conditions affecting the ureter, such as stones and tumours.
    • Nephroscopy: It is used for managing kidney lining stones and tumours.

    FAQ's

    Determining eligibility for an endourological procedure depends on the assessment conducted by an endourologist or laparoscopist. Factors such as your medical history and the specific nature of the condition will be taken into account during this evaluation.

    During an endourological procedure, small, slender instruments such as endoscopes, lasers, scalpels, graspers, miniature stone retrieval baskets, and cautery tools are inserted through the urethra, bladder, or ureter. This allows surgery to be performed without the need for large incisions.
