Urology



At the various super specialty hospitals in India, the best treatments in the field of urology are available at a fraction of what they cost in the West. From lithotripsy, minimally invasive surgeries for stone diseases, India offers the most cost effective treatments for urology disorders. Listed below are just some of the treatments Indian hospitals offer in the field of urology

Varicocele (Unilateral and Bilateral)
Varicocele is a condition characterized by swelling of the veins in the scrotum, impeding the regular flow of blood to and from the organ. The condition is prevalent in almost 15% of men between the ages of 15 to 25, and is a leading cause of male infertility. The condition affects one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) testicles.

At the Apollo Hospital's Department of Urology and Andrology, the latest treatments for varicocele are available. The pharmacotherapy, cavernosometry and cavernosography treatments available at the Apollo are among the best in South Asia.

Endoscopic Surgeries
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves locating and destroying tumors, cysts and blood clots through an endoscope. At the Apollo's department of Urology and Andrology, endoscopic surgeries are used to treat bladder cancer, kidney stones, urethral obstructions and prostrate cancer.

Stone Diseases
Stone Diseases refer to the complications caused by formations of "stones" in the vital organs like kidneys and ureters. The traditional method of treating stone disease involves open surgery to remove the stones. However, at the Apollo Hospital's department of Urology and Andrology, stone diseases are treated through the latest techniques like lithotripsy.

Lithotripsy
Lithotripsy involves the treatment of kidney and uretic stones using endoscopy. This is a minimally invasive surgery that enables urologists to treat stones without the use of anesthesia. At the Apollo Hospital's Department of Urology and Andrology, the latest Siemens Lithostar is used to perform lithotripsy. A pinpointed shock wave is delivered to the stone through the lithostar and the stone is dissolved.
