Our services and specialities

Specialities

Urinary tract diseases and infections

Urinary tract infection (UTI) affects both men and women. However, it is commonly seen in women, which affects the urinary system – 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 appears cloudy and red, strong-smelling urine and pelvic pain in women.

Urethral obstruction

Urethral obstruction can occur for one or both of the ureters-tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, preventing urine from moving out of your body. This condition can cause pain and can put the patient at risk of infection. In some cases, this can also lead to kidney failure, sepsis or death. Common causes for this obstruction range from kidney stones, scarring of the ureter that is a congenital defect or pressure on the ureter from an outside structure such as a tumour.

Radical prostatectomy

This procedure involves the complete removal of the prostate gland and some of the surrounding tissues to treat prostate cancer.

Renal tumours

Renal tumours are abnormal growths found in the kidney. The main cause is unknown. However, the common causes include poor lifestyle choices such as smoking, consuming a lot of alcohol, poor diet or can be hereditary. Symptoms may include blood in the urine, pain between the ribs and hips, lower back pain on one side, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, fever and anaemia.

Artificial urinary sphincter implantation

Artificial urinary sphincter implantation is performed to treat moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence in men. This would allow the patient to control the bladder with a hand-operated pump, that is placed into the scrotum, to compress and release an inflatable cuff around the urethra. This would help reduce urine leakage during some activities such as sneezing, coughing, running or lifting weights.

Urodynamics

Urodynamic studies are used to test how well the bladder, sphincters and urethra can hold and release urine. This form of study helps to find the cause of problems related to urine leaks, inability to fully empty the bladder, persistent and urgent need to urinate, weak urine flow, the intermittent flow of urine and diagnosed with frequent urinary tract infections.

Cystoscopy

A Cystoscopy is a minor procedure that can be performed either using a local anaesthetic or under general anaesthesia, which allows the doctor to examine the lining of the blades and the urethra using a flexible tube with a lens known as a Cystoscope. This process is used to investigate certain signs or symptoms of blood in the urine, incontinence, overactive bladder, painful urination, diagnosing bladder cancer, bladder stones and treat small bladder tumours.

Neurologic urology

Neurologic Urology is a subspecialty of urology that focuses on disorders or conditions of the urinary and reproductive system caused by 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 branch of medicine is used to evaluate, diagnose and treat the condition through surgery, medication or behavioural changes.

Andrology

Andrology is a medical speciality that focuses on the male reproductive system and urological problems. This is akin to gynaecology for women but it’s specialised for men. Some of the conditions dealt with in this area of medicine include Prostatitis, Prostate cancer, Penile cancer, Testicular cancer, Erectile dysfunction, Infertility, Varicocele, Hydrocele, Balanitis, Testicular torsion and Premature ejaculation.

Cystectomy

Cystectomy involves the removal of the urinary bladder. Doctors may perform this surgery to treat certain conditions such as cancers, birth defects or inflammatory disorders that affect the urinary system.

Retroperitoneal surgery

This is an exhaustive surgical procedure that involves removing the lymph nodes from the abdomen to prevent the spread of cancer. This is also performed to conduct staging of cancer to determine the amount of cancer present in an area of the body, so the appropriate treatment can be given to the patient.

Shock-wave lithotripsy

Shock-wave lithotripsy or otherwise known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy is a procedure that’s commonly used to treat kidney stones. Shockwaves from outside the body are targeted at a kidney stone causing the stone to fragment and break into tiny pieces. This method is used depending on the size of the kidney stones and isn’t performed when the stones pass on their own. However, if there is severe pain, infection or issues with your kidney function, it is recommended to get this treated immediately.

Renal failure

Kidney failure refers to the kidneys’ inability to filter waste products from the blood resulting in dangerous levels of chemical makeup in the blood and infections. This can be fatal and requires immediate treatment. This condition is caused by either slow blood flow to the kidneys, direct damage to the kidneys or kidney’s ureters are blocked. 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.

Dialysis

When the kidneys don’t function as intended, for instance when a person suffers from advanced chronic kidney disease, it results in the kidneys’ inability to clean the blood properly causing a build up of dangerous levels of waste products and fluid in the body. This can be treated through dialysis which involves diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned.

This form of cancer is caused by immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body. Commonly forms in and around the adrenal glands. However, this can also form in other parts of the body such as the abdomen, chest, neck and near the spine. Neuroblastoma commonly occurs in children who are 5 years of age or younger and is a rare occurrence in older children.

Wilms’ tumour also known as nephroblastoma, is a rare form of kidney cancer that affects children between the ages of 3 and 5. Symptoms may include abdominal swelling, pain, blood in the urine, fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, shortness of breath and high blood pressure.

Rhabdomyosarcoma or RMS is a rare form of cancer that affects the skeletal muscle tissue or hollow organs such as the bladder or the uterus. This can occur at any age but is commonly seen among children. Treatment for this condition is based on the severity, size and location of the tumour. Symptoms may include headache, bulging of the eyes, nosebleeds, trouble urinating, difficulty with bowel movements and mass bleeding in the vagina or the rectum.

Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid tumour is an aggressive form of tumour that affects the central nervous system. Primarily seen in the cerebellum of the brain, it can spread to other parts of the brain, spine or body. This condition is usually seen in children by the age of 3 but occasionally occurs in older children. Symptoms may include headache, hydrocephalus where there is a build-up of fluid in the brain resulting in an increased size of the infants head, vomiting, fatigue and trouble with balance and coordination.

Liver tumours in children can happen at birth but can also develop in the later stages of life. The best course of treatment for liver tumours is to surgically remove the tumours while they’re still in the benign stage.

Teratomas are rare tumours that hold different types of tissue such as bone, teeth, muscle and hair. They’re usually found in the ovaries, testicles and tailbone but can develop in the abdomen and the nervous system. These can be present in the form of solid, cystic tumours or a combination of both.

Medical and surgical treatments

Benign prostatic enlargement

Benign prostatic enlargement otherwise known as Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that causes enlarged prostate glands. A common condition as men get older results in uncomfortable urinary symptoms such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder which could subsequently lead to bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems.

Other symptoms may also include frequent urination, increased frequency to urinate at night, weak urine stream and inability to empty the bladder.

Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove an entire kidney through keyhole incisions made on the side of the body between the ribs and the hip. This is usually done for one of two reasons – to treat a case of kidney cancer or a non-functioning kidney due to large stones, lack of blood supply or an abnormal kidney structure.

Functional bladder conditions

Many conditions affect the bladder for a range of reasons and cause a variety of symptoms:

Cystitis is the inflammation of the bladder caused by an infection.
Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control
Overactive bladder is a condition in which the bladder expels urine out at the wrong time.
Interstitial cystitis is a condition that causes bladder pain and the frequent need to urinate.
Bladder cancer is a common type of cancer that begins in the urothelial cells in the bladder. These cells can also be found in the kidneys and ureters but are common in the bladder. Symptoms may include blood in the urine, frequent urination, painful urination and back pain.

Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty

This is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to correct a condition known as ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction where there is an obstruction in the ureter – the tube that connects the kidney and the bladder. Signs or symptoms of this condition include flank pain on the affected side, intermittent pain while consuming fluids, pain in the front of the abdomen that radiates down to the groin.

Cancer

Prostate cancer

A common type of cancer that grows slowly within the prostate gland. Some forms of cancer tend to be aggressive and spread quickly. The best chance for treatment is when the tumour is still within the gland. Symptoms may include trouble urinating, blood in the urine, blood in the semen, bone pain, erectile dysfunction and decreased force in the stream of urine.

Kidney cancer

This form of cancer begins in the kidneys. The common type of cancer found in adults is renal cell carcinoma although less common forms can also occur. Children also develop a form of cancer known as Wilms’ tumour. In the early stages of kidney cancer, the patient may not exhibit signs or symptoms of cancer. Over time these symptoms may develop including blood in the urine, pain in the back or side, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, fatigue and fever.

Penile cancer

A rare form of cancer that affects the skin and tissues of the penis. If left untreated, it may spread to other parts of the body including glands, other organs and lymph nodes. Symptoms may include a lump, mass or an ulcer on the head or the foreskin of the penis, itching, burning, discharge, discolouration of the penile skin, bleeding, redness, irritation and swollen lymph nodes in the groin area.

Bladder cancer

This is a common type of cancer that begins in the urothelial cells in the bladder. These cells can also be found in the kidneys and ureters but are common in the bladder. Symptoms may include blood in the urine, frequent urination, painful urination and back pain.

Testicular cancer

Testicular cancer occurs in the testicles, which is responsible for male sex hormones and sperm for reproduction. This form of cancer is traceable even after it has spread beyond the testicles and depending on the stage and type, appropriate treatment or a combination of treatments will need to be performed. Symptoms may include a large lump in either testicle, heaviness in the scrotum, dull ache in the abdomen or groin, pain or discomfort in a testicle or the scrotum and back pain.

There's nothing blissful than hearing a child's laugh or watch them grow right before our eyes. It's another story when their health takes a different turn and our hearts ache while they lay incapacitated with a chronic disease or health condition.
