treating kidney stones with ESWL

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is used to break kidney stones into smaller pieces with shock waves. This will make it easier for them to move through the urinary tract and leave the body. ESWL is used when a patient has a kidney stone that is painful or blocking urine flow. The process usually takes about an hour. 


Circumcisions

The surgical removal of the tissue that covers the head of the penis (foreskin) is known as a circumcision. It is usually done on the first or second day of birth, but it can be performed on older babies, children, and men. On newborns, the procedure only takes about five to ten minutes while on men it takes about an hour.


This condition is when one or both testicles haven't dropped to where they are supposed to be located in the scrotum. Undescended testes repair surgery, also known as orchiopexy or orchidopexy, is usually performed on infant males when they are between 5 to 15 months old. This is an outpatient procedure that typically requires a minimum of two to three days of bed rest.

Surgery is usually recommended for all inguinal hernias so you can avoid complications such as strangulation. To correct it, most children will need surgery. In some cases, adults will also need surgery. There are two options that you can choose from, open inguinal hernia repair and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

Because only small incisions are made, this type of surgery is a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure. Up to four cuts are made so that instruments can be inserted such as the cannula. The cannula will inflate the abdomen with gas so that the doctor can see your organs more clearly. Then the laparoscope is inserted so that the camera attached to it can display real-time images. After the surgery is done, the instruments will be removed and the incisions will be stitched up. Since this is an outpatient procedure, the patient can return home on the same day.

Using a scalpel to make an incision, open surgery is the traditional way of doing things. Even though laparoscopic surgery is becoming popular, there are still some situations where open surgery is preferable. When compared, open surgery consists of larger incisions, muscle stripping, more anesthesia, hospitalization, more operation time, and the patient will usually need more time to recuperate.

The unintentional loss of urine is known as urinary incontinence. Stress incontinence occurs when physical movement or activity puts pressure on your bladder such as coughing or heavy lifting. You can lessen or eliminate these episodes by doing pelvic floor muscle exercises or making healthy lifestyle changes. Also, your doctor might recommend how much liquid you consume and when you consume it. One of the most common procedures for women that help relieve stress incontinence is called the sling procedure. This consists of the surgeon taking your tissue to create a sling that supports the urethra.

Many treatment options are provided to patients that have a urethral stricture. In situations involving urine blockage, a small tube (catheter) can be inserted into your bladder to drain urine. Dilation can be used to increase the size of the urethral opening gradually. To do this, a tiny wire is inserted through the urethra into the bladder, and then larger dilators pass over the wire. Urethroplasty involves removing the part of your urethra that is narrowed or enlarging it through surgery. If you choose not to have surgery, you can decide to have a permanent artificial tube inserted to keep the urethra open.

Nephrectomy is the surgery that removes part or all of a kidney. The three different operation types include partial, simple, and radical nephrectomy. Partial nephrectomy involves only removing part of the organ. All of one kidney is removed during a simple nephrectomy. Lastly, radical nephrectomy is when the entire kidney, surrounding fat, and the adrenal gland are removed. In some cases, neighboring lymph nodes are removed. You will stay hospitalized for 2 to 7 days depending on what surgery you undergo.

When striving for male sterilization and a permanent solution for male birth control, vasectomy is a safe and efficient solution. It works by blocking the route that the sperm takes from the testicles to the penis. This procedure doesn't affect a man's ability to perform sexually or his sexual satisfaction. Vasectomy is relatively straightforward and usually takes around 15-30 minutes. Before undergoing a vasectomy, you should take your time to decide carefully because even though the reversal procedure can be performed, it doesn't guarantee restored fertility. Also, the reversal process is much more extensive than vasectomy.
