We effectively evaluate and treat all types of urinary incontinence and haematuria.
Stone Management

Fortis hospital has inherited the expertise and full team that pioneered stone management under the Wockhardt banner following modalities are available at the highest level.
Services

LITHOTRIPSY – A powerful Dornier Lithotriper which uses both X-Ray and ultrasound localisation for real time image. This allows the stone to be seen at all times during treatment. With this machine the patient needs only a light sedative and the pain is minimal. The lithotripter generates shockwaves, which crush dense stones into sand like particles, which easily pass with urine.

 

PCNL – PercutaneousNephrolithotomy provides patients with a safe and effective way to remove kidney stones using a minimally invasive surgical procedure. A form of key-hole surgery that is used for larger or remotely located stones in kidneys.

 

URS / URSLC (URS Stone Removal) – Ureteric stones are removed by passing aureteroscope through the urethra and bladder. The surgeon locates the stone, removes it with special instruments or fragments the stone by using the Swiss Lithoclast or holmium laser .

 

LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY – This is an option in certain cases depending on the size and location of stones, existing diseases etc.

LASER UROLOGY – Holmium Laser for renal and ureteric stone removal.

OPEN SURGERY – The larger stones (staghorn, etc.) which cannot be removed by above techniques are removed by open and conventional surgery.
