Urology procedures are the procedures used to treat issues related to the urinary tract. These are problems common to both males and females. A Urologist treats ailments and conditions in the kidneys, urinary bladder, and urinary tract. There are many causes of these problems like diabetes, weak bladder muscles, childbirth, certain diseases, or severe constipation. Sometimes you may get rid of these by shifting towards a healthy lifestyle or surgical procedures are a must to treat these. Here we will discuss a few of the urological surgeries. 

Laparoscopic surgery

This surgical procedure used fibre-optic instruments to inspect or operate on the organs inside the abdomen or the pelvic cavities. In this technique, small incisions are made during the procedure and lead to minimally invasive surgery to treat a wide range of conditions.

Robotic surgery

In this procedure, small tools attached to a robotic system are used to perform the procedure. Instead of using their own hands, the surgeon controls robotic arms through the computer to perform the procedure. It helps to reduce the risk of complications in many surgeries.

Prostatectomy

Prostatectomy is used to perform a number of procedures to remove either part or all of the prostate gland to treat prostate cancer or other conditions related to the prostate gland. The procedure can be open, laparoscopic, or robotically.

Nephrectomy

It is used to remove either part or whole of the kidney. Generally performed to treat cancer and other kidney diseases, to remove a damaged organ, or to remove a healthy kidney for transplantation. 

Cystectomy

It is used to remove either part or whole of the bladder mainly to treat bladder cancer. It is also used to treat injuries related to the bladder, neurological conditions affecting the urinary system, and birth defects affecting the urinary system. This too can be performed open, laparoscopic, or robotically.

Adrenalectomy

This surgical procedure is used to remove either one or both the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing certain hormones. It is mainly used to treat benign or cancerous tumours in the adrenal gland or excessive hormonal secretion that may lead to harm to the body. This too can be performed open, or laparoscopically. 

Vasectomy

It is performed to cut and block the vas deferens. It is a procedure for permanent contraception in men.

Ureteroscopy
