Urology
BPH Surgery
The number of prostate surgeries has gone down over the years. But operations for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) are still one of the most common surgeries for men. Surgery is used when symptoms are severe or drug therapy has not worked well.
Types of surgeries include:
- TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is the most common surgery for BPH. It accounts for 90 percent of all BPH surgeries. The doctor passes an instrument through the urethra and trims away extra prostate tissue. A spinal block is used to numb the area. Tissue is sent to the laboratory to check for prostate cancer. TURP generally avoids the two main dangers linked to other prostate surgeries, which are Incontinence (not being able to hold in urine) and Impotence (not being able to have an erection).The recovery period for TURP is much shorter as well.
- TUIP (transurethral incision of the prostate) is similar to TURP. It is used on slightly enlarged prostate glands. The surgeon places one or two small cuts in the prostate. This relieves pressure without trimming away tissue. It has a low risk of side effects. Like TURP, this treatment helps with urine flow by widening the urethra.
- TUVP (transurethral electrovaporation of the prostate) uses electrical current to vaporize prostate tissue.
- HOLEP (Holmium Laser Eneculeation of Prostate) uses a LASER to remove the prostate gland without bleeding complications.
- Open prostatectomy means the surgeon removes the prostate through a cut in the lower abdomen. This is done only in very rare cases when obstruction is severe, the prostate is very large, or other procedures can’t be done. General or spinal anaesthesia is used and a catheter remains for 3 to 7 days after the surgery. This surgery carries a higher risk of complications than medical treatment. Tissue is sent to the laboratory to check for prostate cancer.
Kidney Stones:
URS/PCNL/LASER RIRS
We are dealing with most of the stones by minimally invasive procedures. With the introduction of laser technology along with flexible ureteroscope, we can access any part of the kidney and any stone can be fragmented and dusted. Multiple puncture PCNL to remove staghorn calculi are routinely performed at SLG.
Urinary tract diseases and infections
Affecting both men and women, it is commonly seen in the latter affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Symptoms may include a persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation while urinating, passing frequent but small amounts of urine, the urine appearing cloudy and red, strong-smelling urine and pelvic pain in women.
Neurogenic bladder
Neurologic Urology is a subspecialty of urology that focuses on disorders or conditions of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney and genitalia related to neurological anomalies and spinal injuries. For instance, patients with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis may experience problems including an overactive bladder or sexual dysfunction. This is treated through surgery, medication or behavioural changes.
Urethral obstruction
This is the blockage of one or both the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder and is curable. If left untreated, symptoms can range from mild pain, discomfort, fever to loss of kidney function, sepsis and even death.
Renal tumours
A renal mass or tumour is an abnormal growth in the kidney. While some of these are noncancerous, others can be malignant. These most often don’t have symptoms in the early stages but as the mass progresses in size in the organ, some of the symptoms may include blood in the urine, pain in the back, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, tiredness and fever.
Renal failure
This occurs when the kidneys lose their filtering abilities in filtering out waste products from the blood and can be fatal if left untreated. Symptoms may include decreased urine output, fluid retention that causes swelling in the legs, ankles or feet, shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion, nausea, weakness, irregular heartbeat, chest pain and seizures. Renal transplantation is the best option for these patients.

Andrology
Often referred to as an equivalent to gynaecology but for men, Andrology is a medical speciality that deals with the male reproductive system and other urological conditions. Our andrologists cover a wide range of problems that include male infertility, penile and genitourinary disorders.
Conditions Treated:
Prostatitis
Prostatitis is the inflammation and swelling of the prostate gland causing painful urination, pain in the groin, pelvic area, genitals and sometimes patients exhibit flu-like symptoms.
Prostate cancer
This form of cancer develops in the prostate gland. While some prostate cancer grows slowly and is confined within the gland, others of a more aggressive nature tend to spread quickly and require immediate medical attention. Some of the symptoms may include trouble urinating, blood in the urine, blood in the semen, unintentional weight loss and erectile dysfunction.
Penile cancer
A relatively rare form of cancer that affects the skin and tissues of the penis, it occurs when normally healthy cells of the penis become cancerous resulting in a tumour. Some of the symptoms may include itching, burning, discharge, bleeding, redness, irritation, swollen lymph nodes in the groin and changes in the colour of the penis.
Testicular cancer
This is a rare form of cancer that develops in the testicles causing pain in the abdomen, discomfort, fluid collection in the scrotum, back pain and a lump in either testicle.
Erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get an erection that is firm enough for intercourse and can be a problem for many, causing stress, affecting self-confidence and may disrupt a relationship.
Premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation is when the male ejaculates sooner than desired during intercourse. While the common cause isn’t known, experts point that it could be due to psychological factors, erectile dysfunction or problems in the relationship.
Infertility
The inability to conceive a child through natural means can be due to a variety of reasons, one of them being infertility in men. This can be due to low sperm production, abnormal sperm production, blockages, injuries or underlying health conditions. Our expert team of specialists is trained to provide the best course of action in providing you and your partner hope through compassion, expert treatment and advice.
Varicocele
A Varicocele is a condition characterised by enlarged veins in the scrotum that holds the testicles and is a common cause of low sperm production, decreased sperm quality or motility. Other symptoms may include discomfort and pain while performing the basic tasks or activities throughout the day.
Hydrocele
A Hydrocele is swelling in the scrotum that occurs when fluid accumulates in the thin sheath surrounding the testicle. In most cases it is painless but over time the pain increases with the size of the inflammation.
Renal Transplant
When the kidneys lose their ability to filter out harmful levels of fluid and waste from the body, it can lead to high blood pressure and kidney failure when the kidney has lost 90% of its function. This results in a condition known as end-stage kidney disease or kidney failure. Only two possible solutions can create a favourable outcome for the patient – dialysis or a renal transplant.
Our dedicated team of specialists, surgeons and experts work together in tandem to provide the best outcome in a renal transplant using cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art amenities available only at SLG Hospitals.

Patient Testimonials
Recently I had a knee injury, for treatment I went to SLG Hospitals. I was hardly walking receptionists and staff members immediately responded and accompanied me to ortho Dr. B.Chakradhar Reddy. He treated me really well and explained me the problem in a very simple neat way. Radiology technicians were also very helpful and supportive. I’m well satisfied with hospitality and over all service.

FAQs
A urinary tract infection is infection that affects any part of the urinary system -kidneys, ureter, bladder and the urethra. Women are more prone to the infection while it is limited for men.
Drink plenty of liquids, avoiding holding in your urine and take probiotics. Consult our specialists on other ways to prevent this infection.
Depending on the condition of your kidneys, each haemodialysis treatment would last at least four hours and is done three times a week. Consult our specialists to know more.
There are certain risks involved after having your prostate removed which may include incontinence and erectile dysfunction, especially when the entire prostate is removed through radical prostatectomy.
The nerves, vessels and muscles in the area may be weakened due to the prostate surgery and for some period of time, many men aren’t able to experience an erection. Post TURP, you will have dry ejaculation.
Drink plenty of liquids especially water, reduce intake of oxalate rich foods such as peanuts, spinach, beets, chocolate and sweet potatoes, consume a low-fat diet, reduce alcohol intake and eat less sodium.
You can resume your previous activities as soon as you feel better. However, it is preferable not to lift heavy objects, avoid driving for at least a few weeks, and not participate in contact sports. If you have any other queries or concerns, consult our top specialists.
