Advanced Urology & Minimally Invasive Procedures
At JJ Hospital & Research Centre, our Urology Department is equipped to provide world-class diagnosis, treatment, and surgical intervention for a wide range of urinary and reproductive health conditions. With a focus on minimally invasive techniques, patient comfort, and successful outcomes, we offer a full spectrum of urological services, from basic outpatient care to advanced laparoscopic surgeries.
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones. It involves using a flexible ureteroscope passed through the urethra and bladder into the kidney, allowing the surgeon to view and remove or break the stones with a laser. RIRS offers high precision, minimal pain, faster recovery, and no visible incisions. Ideal for stones in hard-to-reach areas, this advanced technique ensures effective stone clearance with lower complication risks compared to traditional surgeries.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove large or complex kidney stones. It involves making a small incision in the back to access the kidney directly with a nephroscope. The stones are then broken up and removed efficiently. PCNL is highly effective for treating stones that are too large for other methods. It offers quicker recovery, reduced pain, and high success rates, making it a preferred option for advanced kidney stone management.
Laser Prostrate Surgery
Laser Prostate Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It involves the use of high-powered laser energy to remove or shrink excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow. The laser is delivered through a thin scope inserted into the urethra, eliminating the need for external incisions. This technique offers precise tissue removal, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Laser Prostate Surgery is highly effective, with improved urinary symptoms, shorter hospital stays, and lower risk of complications, making it a preferred treatment for BPH.
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate. It involves inserting a thin instrument called a resectoscope through the urethra to access the prostate. Excess prostate tissue causing urinary obstruction is then carefully trimmed away to improve urine flow. TURP is highly effective for relieving symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying. With no external incisions, it offers reduced recovery time, minimal pain, and long-term symptom relief, making it a widely preferred option for managing moderate to severe BPH
Ureteroscopy (URS)
Ureteroscopy (URS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat stones located in the ureter or kidney. It involves passing a thin, flexible ureteroscope through the urethra and bladder into the ureter to directly visualize and access the stone. Once located, the stone is either removed with a small basket or broken into smaller pieces using laser energy. URS is highly effective for treating medium-sized stones and those that are not suitable for shock wave lithotripsy. It requires no incisions, offers quick recovery, minimal discomfort, and excellent success rates, making it a popular choice for ureteral and renal stone management.
Bladder Surgeries (TURBT)
TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat bladder tumors. It involves inserting a thin instrument called a resectoscope through the urethra to access the bladder without making any external incisions. The tumor is then carefully resected (cut away) and removed for analysis. TURBT is the standard initial treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and allows for both diagnosis and treatment in a single procedure. It offers quick recovery, minimal pain, and effective tumor removal, making it a key step in early bladder cancer management and follow-up care.
Urology & Nephrology Integration
Our team of urologists and nephrologists work in close collaboration to manage both structural and functional kidney and urinary tract conditions. Whether a patient is suffering from chronic kidney issues or structural blockages in the ureters or bladder, our integrated approach ensures comprehensive and precise care.
Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty
This minimally invasive surgery is performed to relieve ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, a condition where the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder is restricted. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty uses small incisions, a camera, and precision tools to remove the obstruction and restore proper urine flow. It offers faster recovery, minimal pain, and excellent long-term outcomes compared to open surgery.
Laparoscopic Varicocelectomy
Varicocele is a condition in which the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged, often causing pain, swelling, or even infertility. At JJ Hospital, we offer laparoscopic varicocelectomy, a highly effective and less invasive solution that ligates the affected veins using small incisions and a laparoscope. Patients typically experience less scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to normal activities.
Laparoscopic Nephrectomy
In cases of non-functioning or cancerous kidneys, a nephrectomy (removal of the kidney) may be necessary. Our urology department specializes in laparoscopic nephrectomy, which provides excellent visibility and precision with less trauma to surrounding tissues. This results in reduced pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery.
Erectile Dysfunction & Male Infertility
We understand the sensitive nature of male sexual health and provide confidential, medically sound solutions for erectile dysfunction (ED) and male infertility. Our approach includes lifestyle modification, medication, hormone therapy, and when needed, surgical interventions such as penile prosthesis implantation or varicocele repair.
Urethral Stricture & Optical Internal Urethrotomy (OIU)
Urethral strictures, or narrowing of the urethra, can cause difficulty urinating and recurrent infections. We perform Optical Internal Urethrotomy (OIU), a minimally invasive technique that uses a small endoscope to open the narrowed area. This procedure is often done under short anesthesia and provides immediate relief.
Urethroplasty
For complex or recurrent urethral strictures, urethroplasty is a more permanent and effective surgical option. This procedure involves reconstructing or replacing the narrowed portion of the urethra using grafts or surrounding tissue. Urethroplasty offers significantly higher success rates and long-term results compared to repeated OIUs.
Advanced Orthopedic Care
At JJ Hospital & Research Centre, our Orthopedics Department is dedicated to restoring mobility, relieving pain, and helping patients return to an active and independent life. From everyday injuries to complex joint and spine surgeries, we offer a wide range of orthopedic services backed by modern technology, experienced surgeons, and personalized rehabilitation.
