Urology
Kidney stone, urinary and prostate treatment using keyhole techniques
Overview
Urology deals with the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate and the male reproductive system. Stone disease, urinary infection and prostate enlargement make up the bulk of the workload.
Most stone and prostate procedures are now performed endoscopically, through natural passages or tiny punctures, which avoids a large incision and shortens the hospital stay considerably.

Frequently asked questions
Can kidney stones pass without surgery?
Small stones often pass with fluids and medication. Larger or obstructing stones usually need a procedure.
How can stones be prevented?
Drinking enough water through the day is the single most effective step, along with dietary advice based on stone type.
Is an enlarged prostate the same as cancer?
No. Age-related enlargement is benign, though testing is done to rule out other causes.
