Urological surgery
What are urological surgeries, and who undergoes them?
Urological surgeries are procedures that treat diseases of the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Urology is the medical speciality that diagnoses and treats diseases of the kidneys, bladder, urethra, prostate, and testicles. Urological surgical methods can be open or minimally invasive, including laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures.
Urological surgery is most often performed to address the following problems:
- Removal of kidney stones;
- Prostate surgery, including TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) for prostate enlargement;
- Surgery on the urinary tract for strictures or anatomical abnormalities;
- Surgical treatment of kidney or bladder tumours;
- Manipulation and surgical treatment of inflammatory or chronic urological diseases;
- Chronic urinary incontinence or anatomical deformities;
- Treatment of infectious complications.
The FORTEMED Medical Centre employs modern urological techniques to ensure accurate diagnosis and gentle treatment, with the shortest possible recovery period.
Goals and benefits of urological surgery for patients
The main goal of urological surgery is to restore normal urinary tract function, relieve pain and discomfort, improve quality of life, and prevent complications. Many patients report significant improvements in their lives after surgical treatment:
- Reduced pain and other urinary tract symptoms;
- Improved urination and control over urination;
- Effective treatment of kidney stones and reduced recurrence;
- Return to daily activities without chronic discomfort;
- Precise removal of tumours if cancer treatment is required;
- Shorter recovery time thanks to minimally invasive procedures.
Modern urology, including endoscopy, laparoscopy, and laser surgery, enables procedures with less tissue damage and a shorter rehabilitation period than traditional open surgery.
How to prepare for urological surgery?
To ensure safe and successful urological surgery, patients should prepare thoroughly.
During preparation, the following is usually provided:
- Consultation and examination by a urologist to establish an accurate diagnosis and individual treatment plan;
- Laboratory tests and urine analyses, as well as visual diagnostics (ultrasound, CT or MRI as needed);
- Consultation with an anaesthesiologist;
- Recommendations for medication and dietary restrictions before surgery;
- Preparation for bowel or urinary tract cleansing, depending on the nature of the procedure.
Our specialists provide detailed information on what to expect before, during and after surgery, as well as support during the recovery period.
