Urology:
Urology, is also known as genitourinary surgery. It is a branch of medicine, which deals with the medical and surgical diseases of the urinary tract system. The diseases of kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, female and male reproductive organs, viz testes, epididymis, prostate and the penis, come under the of Urology. The urinary and reproductive tracts are linked to each other, and the disorder in one affects the other organ. Urology combines the management of non-surgical conditions, such as urinary tract infections and benign prostatic hyperplasia, with the management of surgical conditions like bladder or prostate cancer, kidney stones, congenital abnormalities, traumatic injury, and stress incontinence.
At Rajendra Hospital, we offer sophisticated care with the passion to serve the people in need, by setting benchmarks of care using the latest possible techniques.

Endo urology:
Endourology is a specialisation in urology that refers to minimally invasive surgical techniques used to view and perform surgery on the urinary tract. Endourology procedures involve the insertion of endoscopes and other instruments into small incisions. However, most of the procedures involve using the existing channels of the urinary tract without making an incision.
@Rajnedra hospital, we have done almost more than 10000 ENDO-UROLOGY procedures till now
What are urinary stones:
Urinary stones are hard masses of minerals in the urinary tract. They develop when the minerals in concentrated urine crystallize and form stones. Small urinary stones may pass without treatment, but larger tones need medications or surgery. If left untreated, urinary stones may lead to infections and other complications.
Sign and Symptoms
Sometimes smaller stones (less than 5 mm) cause no problems. But if a stone irritates the urinary tract or blocks the flow of urine, that may lead to the following signs and symptoms include:
- Flank pain / Lower abdominal pain with nausea and vomiting
- Fever with chills and rigors
- Pain during urination
- Frequent urination
- Difficulty urinating or interrupted urine flow
- Blood in the urine
- Cloudy or unusually dark-coloured urine
We offer minimally invasive surgical procedures for urinary stones to our patients with the help of state of art endo vision systems and the latest endoscopes. It leads to early recovery of patients from their suffering with minimal incision or no incision.
What is BPH:
The prostate is a small gland found in the male that helps in the making of semen. It is found just below the bladder and often gets bigger as you age. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a health issue that becomes more common with age. It’s also called an enlarged prostate. An enlarged prostate can cause symptoms that may bother you, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. It also can cause bladder, urinary tract, or kidney problems.
There are many treatment options for BPH. These include medicines, surgery, and other procedures. On the basis of your symptoms, your Urologist can help you to choose the right option for you. The most common surgery for BPH is called transurethral resection of the prostate or TURP. In this procedure, the urologist removes the excess prostate tissue through the urethra without making an incision.
At our centre, we had done almost more than 10000 prostate surgeries till now. We provide a variety of surgical options for BPH patients from monopolar to Bipolar to the latest Holmium Laser TURP (Ho: LEP).
what is Advanced Laparoscopy & Minimal invasive surgery:
In minimally invasive surgery & Laparoscopic Surgery, doctors use a variety of techniques to operate with less damage to the body than with open surgery. In general, minimally invasive surgery is associated with less pain, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications.
Laparoscopy surgery: it is one of the first types of minimally invasive surgery. It is done through one or more small incisions, using small tubes and tiny cameras, and surgical instruments.
In Rajendra Hospital, regular minimally invasive surgery is performed from routine laparoscopy to advanced laparoscopy using the world’s best Endo-vision IMAGE1 S system made by Karl STORZ from Germany. We are doing 80 to 100 minimally invasive laparoscopy procedures per month.
