Urology Care

A telescope or a small keyhole tract is used to locate and fragment kidney or ureteric stones, which are then removed or broken down with a laser, sparing the patient a large incision.

Recommended for stones causing pain, recurrent urinary infection, or blockage that are too large or resistant to pass on their own or with shockwave therapy.

Under general or spinal anaesthesia, the surgeon accesses the stone either through the urinary tract (ureteroscopy) or a small flank puncture (percutaneous nephrolithotomy), fragmenting it with a laser and clearing the pieces; the procedure typically takes 45-90 minutes.

Most patients are rendered stone-free in a single session, with pain and urinary symptoms resolving within days as any residual fragments pass naturally.

A thin flexible or rigid scope with a camera is passed through the urethra to examine the bladder and urinary tract lining, take biopsies, or remove small growths.

Considered for blood in the urine, recurrent urinary infection, unexplained bladder symptoms, or as part of surveillance following prior bladder tumour treatment.

Under local anaesthetic gel or light sedation, the endoscopist advances the scope while examining the bladder lining on a monitor, taking biopsies or removing small lesions as needed; the procedure typically takes 10-30 minutes.

Most patients receive same-day findings, with biopsy results generally available within a week and any underlying cause identified for further management.

A resectoscope is passed through the urethra to trim away the inner portion of an enlarged prostate, widening the channel through which urine flows, without any external incision.

Recommended for benign prostate enlargement causing weak stream, frequent urination, incomplete emptying, or urinary retention that has not responded to medication.

Under spinal or general anaesthesia, the surgeon uses an electrical or laser loop to shave away obstructing prostate tissue in small pieces, which are flushed out through the scope; the procedure typically takes 45-75 minutes.

Most patients notice a markedly stronger urinary stream and more complete emptying within days, with catheter removal usually possible within 24-48 hours.

The prostate gland is removed in its entirety using a robotic surgical platform controlled by the surgeon, allowing magnified 3D vision and fine instrument control through small ports.

Considered for prostate cancer confined to the gland, where surgical removal offers the best chance of cure while aiming to preserve continence and, where possible, sexual function.

Under general anaesthesia, the surgeon operates robotic arms through several small abdominal incisions to dissect and remove the prostate along with surrounding lymph nodes where indicated; surgery generally takes 2-4 hours.

Most patients achieve clear cancer margins with pathology confirming the extent of disease, and urinary continence gradually improves over the following weeks to months.

A healthy kidney is surgically removed from a matched living donor and transplanted into a recipient with end-stage kidney disease, taking over the filtering role of the failed kidneys.

Indicated for chronic kidney failure requiring dialysis or approaching that stage, where transplantation offers better long-term survival and quality of life than remaining on dialysis.

Under general anaesthesia, the donor kidney is removed laparoscopically and implanted into the recipient's pelvis, with its blood vessels and ureter connected to the recipient's own system under a specialised transplant team; surgery generally takes 3-5 hours.

Most recipients see kidney function normalise within days to weeks, with long-term graft survival supported by lifelong immunosuppression and regular monitoring.
