A short description of services provided at FertiUro Solutions, is as follows –

  1. Stone surgeries – LASER

Laser Treatment of Kidney, Ureter and urinary Bladder Stones is done with great expertise.

Treatment options available are: –

  • Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery – RIRS – Latest method, minimally invasive, No cut or hole.

Minimal invasive, no cut, quick recovery, minimal blood loss.

  • Traditional methods – TURP – MONOPOLAR/ BIPOLAR
  • LASER methods: –
    • Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP)
    • Thulium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (ThuLEP)
  1. Stricture surgeries

  • LASER BNI/BNR – bladder neck incision or Bladder Neck Resection
  • URETHROPLASTY- Removal of stricture and formation of new urethra is called urethroplasty. Normally done by using buccal mucosa (BMG).
  1. KIDNEY CANCER SURGERIES
  • Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy/ partial nephrectomy – for tumors in kidney
  • Laparoscopic Nephro-Ureterectomy with bladder cuff excision.
  1. BLADDER CANCER- LASER TREATMENT
  • LASER -TURBT – incision less, minimally invasive, Fast Recovery and high cure rate.
  1. OVER ACTIVE BLADDER TREATMENT

Most of the patients can be managed by medication. Those who are not responsive to medications need procedure. Common procedure are: –

  • HYDRODISTENSION OF BLADDER
  • BOTOX INJECTION IN BLADDER
  • AUGMENTATION CYSTOPLASTY
  1. BED WETTING (ENURESIS) TREATMENT

Bed wetting in night is very common problem in childhood and aged person. It is treated with bladder rehabilitation and medication. Most of the patients respond very well to medication.

  1. URINE LEAKAGE TREATMENT (INCONTINENCE)

Urine leakage may be stress incontinence, urge incontinence or mixed incontinence. Based on diagnosis, treatment is tailored either medication or surgery. Majority of patients respond well to medication. Non-responders are offered surgical treatment like:-

STRESS INCONTINENCE –

  • Urethral Injections/Bulking Agents
  • Sling Surgery- The mid urethral sling is the most common type of surgery used to correct SUI. The sling is made out of a narrow strip of synthetic mesh that is placed under the urethra with a variety of techniques: retropubic, trans-obturator and single-incision.
  • Bladder Neck Suspension
  • Artificial Sphincter

URGE INCONTINENCE- 

  • Hydrodistension
  • BOTOX injection
  1. LASER TREATMENT OF URETHRAL STRICTURE

Done by Endoscopic LASER method. It’s a no incision or cut surgery , bloodless, day care procedure.

  1. PUJ OBSTRUCTION TREATMENT

Obstruction at Pelvi ureteric junction (PUJ) is dealt with Pyeloplasty. It is done by Laparoscopy or by conventional open method.

  1. VESICO URETERIC REFLUX TREATMENT

Reflux of urine from bladder to ureter and Kidney. It needs medical treatment or ureteric reimplant surgery according to its severity/grade.

12.LITHOTRIPSY (ESWL)

Non-invasive OPD procedure done for kidney stones. Procedure done under local anesthesia with good result in selected group of patients.

  1. few more urological problems and surgeries –
  • Ureterocoel – LASER incision
  • posterior urethral valve – LASER fulguration
  • short frenulum – frenuloplasty
  • small meatus – meatoplasty
  • Torsion testis- orchidopexy
  • Fracture of penis – tunica repair
  • Scrotal cyst – scrotoplasty
  • curved penis – straightening surgery
  • Bladder diverticula – laparoscopic excision
  • Cancer penis – partial /total penectomy with inguinal lymph node dissection
  • Urological tumors – bladder cancer, prostate cancer and kidney cancer, adrenal tumors – endoscopic / laparoscopic excision following international guidelines of management
  • Pyonephrosis-JJ stenting or per cutaneous drainage of pus.
  • Renal cyst – laparoscopic excision/ marsupialisation.

Andrology treatment

  1. VARICOCELE TREATMENT

Abnormal dilatation of testicular veins is called varicocele. Its diagnosed on clinical ground and scrotal Doppler. It needs treatment if there is scrotal pain and or infertility. Treatment options are:-

  1. MICROSCOPIC VARICOCELECTOMY

A small cut is made in subinguinal region. Under microscope all abnormal veins are ligated and divided. This is most popular procedure at present in view of high success rate.

  1. LAPROSCOPIC VARICOCELECTOMY

Testicular veins are ligated and divided by using laparoscopy.

  1. OTHER OPTION

Embolisation of Varicocele

  1. Vasectomy –

A male sterilization method. A minor surgery to block sperm from reaching the semen that is ejaculated from the penis.

Methods-

  • Conventional Vasectomy- one or two small cuts are made in the skin of the scrotum to reach the vas deferens.
  • No-Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV)- only a tiny hole is made in the skin
  1. VASECTOMY REVERSAL

Sometimes vasectomy reversal is done in cases of secondary infertility. This is done by microscope and success rate is good.

MICROSCOPIC Vaso Epididymal Anastomosis (VEA)

Vaso Epididymal Anastomosis is done by using microscope. Its done in cases of obstructive Azoospermia to bypass the obstruction.

  1. CIRCUMCISION

It’s a treatment of Phimosis (Inability to retract foreskin of penis). Surgery options are-

  • CONVENTIONAL CIRCUMCISION- suturing is used
  • STAPLER CIRCUMCISION- titanium stapler is used , it takes just 10 minutes and its a bloodless and painless method.
  1. UNDESCENDED TESTIS

When testis are present at abnormal position its called undescended testis. Orchidopexy is the procedure usually done for undescended testis.

  1. HYDROCELE

Collection of fluid around testis is diagnosed as Hydrocele. Small hydrocele can be treated medically. Large hydrocele needs surgical intervention.

  1. HYDOSPADIAS

Abnormal position of urinary opening (meatus) with absence of distal urethra is hypospadias. This needs single stage or staged urethroplasty with or without chordee correction.

  1. Sperm Retrieval-

Sperm retrieval is done when pregnancy is the goal but not possible without help. It is for men who have little or no sperm in the semen, or men who aren’t able to ejaculate. In these cases, sperm can be collected from other parts of the reproductive tract. For good pregnancy rates, sperm retrieval is used with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Diagnosis could be Obstructive Azoospermia, Non-obstructive Azoospermia, anejaculation (lack of ejaculation) or Retrograde ejaculation

Methods of sperm retrieval are:

  • Penile Vibratory Stimulation (PVS)
  • Electroejaculation (EEJ)
  • Testis Sperm Retrieval-
  • Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)
  • Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)
  • Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro-TESE)
  • Epididymal Sperm Retrieval-
  • Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA)
  • Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA)

Sexual Health Treatment

  1. ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION-

Inability to sustain erection is erectile dysfunction. It could be psychogenic or organic. Psychogenic ED could be treated with medication like tadalafil /sildenafil etc. organic ED or non-responsive to medical treatment are candidate for penile implant.

Penile implant – PROSTHESIS are implanted inside penis to give sufficient erection to perform sex.

  1. NONINFLATABLE IMPLANT: – 2 Pieces of implant are placed in corpora cavernosa.
  2. INFLATABLE IMPLANT: – They give need base erection as these implants have inflatable mechanism for erection.
  3. PRE-MATURE EJACULATION: – Early ejaculation could be very well treated with medication and small procedure. Success rate of treatment is quite high.
  4. PEYRONIE’S DISEASE TREATMENT: – Presence of plaque on dorsal surface of penis leading to painful erection or penile curvature is peyronie’s disease. It needs medical or surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatment includes medication and intra plaque injections. Surgical treatment includes excision of plaque.
