Medical Conditions

The occurrence of kidney stones is an unfortunately common condition. Anybody who has experienced it can testify that it is excruciatingly painful. In fact, it is said that the pain caused by a kidney stone is only second to that of childbirth.

Kidney stones are solid pieces of material which form when minerals in the kidneys become very concentrated. Often, patients might pass out small stones without even knowing it but the large ones can block the urinary tract and cause immense pain. Kidney stone pain can be extremely painful and can interfere with your daily life.

While they are common, nobody has been able to exactly pinpoint the cause of kidney stones. There are a host of conditions which seem to contribute to their formation ranging from genetic factors to low intake of water to urinary tract infections and so on. It is clear that diet and lifestyle also have an impact but the exact nature and correlation are not entirely clear. Kidney stone treatments vary from vast intake of fluids to medications to lithotripsy (shock waves) to laparoscopic surgery.
This is the condition wherein a man is unable to attain and maintain an erection which is firm enough for sexual intercourse. While the occasional trouble with erection is not a cause for concern, it needs to be investigated if it is an ongoing problem. It can erode self-confidence, lead to relationship trouble, increase stress and, far worse, could be the indicator of a worse underlying health condition.

The process of male arousal is extremely complex, involving the brain, emotions, hormones, nervous system, muscles, blood vessels and so on. A problem with any of these may result in it. There are also psychological issues which can cause it. Some of the common causes of erectile dysfunction include heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, alcoholism, use of tobacco, prescription medications, depression, anxiety and so on. Treatment can vary from medication to psychiatric therapy to injections, blood vessel surgery and surgical penile implants.
When cells in the bladder start to grow out of control, this is called bladder cancer. The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower part of the belly that looks like a balloon. It is where urine is stored.

The muscle wall of the bladder lets it get bigger to hold urine made by the kidneys and smaller to force urine out of the body. Each side of the backbone, above the waist, there is a kidney. The kidneys and bladder work together to get rid of waste and toxins in the body through pee.

Although there are various symptoms of bladder cancer the most common ones include pain while urinating and spotting blood in the urine. Seeking immediate bladder cancer treatment is important to have a complete recovery.
Kidney cancer is when cells in your kidney tissue grow in a way that doesn't make sense. Over time, these cells grow together into a mass called a tumor. People between the ages of 65 and 74 are most likely to get kidney cancer. Men are two times more likely to get the disease than women.

There are different types of kidney cancers like Transitional cell cancer, Renal cell carcinoma, Wilms tumor and Renal sarcoma.

At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital our expert urology specialists offer advanced kidney cancer treatment to ensure you receive the best care.
Cancer that starts in the prostate is referred to as prostate cancer. The prostate is a small gland in men that looks like a walnut. It makes the seminal fluid that feeds and moves sperm.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly reported cancer. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and stay in the prostate gland, where they might not do too much damage. But some kinds of prostate cancer grow slowly and may not need much or any treatment at all. Other types, on the other hand, are aggressive and can spread quickly.

Early detection plays a major role in prostate cancer treatment as it would help quicker recovery.

Treatments & Procedures

For a person with kidney failure, a lifetime on dialysis is a painful and depressing course of action. However, a kidney transplant can give such people hope and a new lease on life. While typically people go on dialysis for a while before getting a kidney transplant, some people actually benefit from a pre-emptive transplant. One kidney can do the work of two so only a single donated kidney is enough to replace two which have failed. There are broadly two kinds of kidney transplant – living-donor and deceased-donor.

Living-donor Transplant the name implies, in this case the donated kidney comes from a living person. Since one kidney is enough to do the work of two, it is very common for family members to donate one of their kidneys. Close family relatives will also have a higher chance of compatibility. This constitutes about a third of all kidney transplants. Living donor transplants have certain advantages. A patient spends less time on a waiting list for dead donors. This prevents greater deterioration of health and pain experienced from it. It also has greater survival rates in the short and long term.

Deceased-donor Transplant This constitutes nearly two-thirds of all transplants. The donated kidney comes from a recently deceased person. It is usually harvested from the person immediately after death and stored either on ice or on a machine which maintains its functions. At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital our expert urologists have extensive experience and great success with both forms of renal transplant. We also have the capability to perform ABO incompatible transplants. This is a form of transplant where the donor’s blood type is incompatible with the recipient. Through advances in modern medical technology, the usually incompatible antibodies are no longer an obstacle to a successful transplant.

At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital our experienced urologists perform certain tests before the renal transplantation to help the recipient body accept the kidney.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)

Here at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital we are equipped to perform modern surgical procedures. One such procedure practised by the Department of Nephrology and Urology is RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery). A fibreoptic endoscope is a thin, flexible device which allows the surgeon to view the inside of the body while performing surgery. In this case, the endoscope is passed through the urinary opening (urethra) and into the region of the kidney which collects urine.

The surgeon can then view the area and use a suitable method to deal with the condition. If it is a kidney stone, the surgeon might either evaporated the stone using a LASER or even held and removed using tipless basket. RIRS can only be performed by urologists with special training and expertise. The patient is usually placed under general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia. It is a quick and non-invasive procedure which allows much faster patient recovery times.

One possible treatment for men suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) is the implantation of a penile prosthesis. A typical penile prosthesis is made up of two cylinders, a pump and a reservoir. These are surgically placed within the body. The two cylinders are placed within the penis. They are connected via a tube to the reservoir which contains fluid. The pump is connected to the system. It sits beneath the skin of the scrotal sac, between the testicles. The reservoir is placed beneath the muscles of the groin. In order to gain an erection, the man must press the pump. To ‘deflate’ he will press another valve at the base of the pump. There are different models of implants which differ in levels of sophistication and mechanics.

Please consult our excellent team of Urologist & Andrologist at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital to determine which would be best for you.

This is more commonly known as ‘keyhole’ or ‘minimally invasive’ surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is a technique wherein surgery is performed through tiny incisions in the skin, rather than the more conventional ‘open’ methods which require large incisions. These tiny incisions are used to pass specialised instruments such as an endoscope (used to view the internals of the body) and microsurgical devices into the affected area. Using these, a surgeon gets a magnified view of the affected area and can make precise cuts and excisions exactly where required.

The advantages of this form of surgery as compared to open surgery are manifold – minimal blood loss, fast recovery, low pain inflicted and little to no scarring. At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, the Department of Nephrology and Urology uses laparoscopic surgery to treat a number of conditions. Some of the laparoscopic procedures performed are as follows.

  • Laparoscopic nephrectomy
  • Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy
  • Laparoscopic removal of kidney stones
  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy
  • Laparoscopic pyeloplasty
