Endo Urologist
Internal urethrotomy
Stenosis of the urethra is a benign pathology corresponding to a single or multiple shrinkage and more or less extensive of the urethral canal.
The patient feels urinary discomfort.
Stenosis of the urethra can be complicate urinary tract infections repetition or urinary retention.
Stenosis of the urethra can be secondary to infection or local trauma or as a result with an endoscopic gesture
In the absence of treatment, there is a risk of gradual degradation of bladder function then kidneys, complete retention of urine or urinary tract infection.
Internal urethrotomy is performed by endoscopic route through the urethral canal
It consists in sectioning the portion narrowed using an instrument adapted which will result in enlargement of the urinary tract and therefore an improvement in urine flow and good bladder emptying.
The advantage of this technique is to avoid surgical treatment open.
The downside of this technique is to expose yourself at the risk of recurrence.
Internal urethrotomy:
The prostate is a gland located under the bladder.
Volume increase of the prostate, prostate adenoma or benign prostatic hypertrophy is a pathology of the central part of prostate.
The patient may feel discomfort when evacuation of the bladder or urges frequent urination.
Surgical intervention is indicated when medical treatment is no longer effective and in the case of complications.
Endoscopic resection of the prostate is performed naturally trans-urethral.
This intervention is to widen the urethral canal intra-prostatic by removing the adenoma that surrounds it and which prevents the flow of urine.
Prostate tissue is removed in the form small chips.
Endoscopic resection of bladder tumor
The bladder is a hollow organ whose main function is to serve as tank and allow evacuation urine produced in the kidneys.
Bladder tumors are a group of fairly large set of lesions, very different prognosis, ranging from simple polyp to bladder cancer.
Endoscopic resection of the bladder tumor is performed by natural transurethral.
After exploring the entire bladder, the resector removes the lesion and to coagulate the different vessels likely to bleed.
The collected tissues are sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Double J probe installation
The double J probe is a flexible tube and thin (about 3 mm in diameter) of which the ends each form a loop (hence the double J term) which allows the probe to stay in place between the kidney and the bladder.
Double J probes are introduced into the ureter by natural means.
A double J probe is installed to prevent or bypass a obstruction in the ureter.
The treatment of kidney stones or the ureter is the most frequent placement of this JJ probe.
Ureteroscopy with Laser
The ureter is a conduit used to evacuate urine from each kidney towards the bladder.
Ureroscopy is mainly performed to remove urinary stones stuck in the kidney and ureter.
Ureteroscopy consists of introducing a thin endoscope through the urethra up to the bladder then into the ureter to the kidney.
After exploring the different cavities, stones will be pulverized by laser fiber.
