PROSTATE BIOPSY
MRI and Ultrasound Fusion -Guided
- Latest technology to detect prostate cancer
- Male patient presenting with persistent elevated PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) and difficulty urinating with suspicious high grade PIRADS nodule on MRI.

- An MRI of prostate is taken and the image is examined to identify areas that look suspicious.
- Later, biopsy performed using an ultrasound probe along with special software to fuse the MRI and ultrasound images into one image that makes it easier to spot targets for the biopsy needles.
- Prostate biopsies are done with a biopsy needle that can be positioned with the assistance of ultrasound images to get samples for testing.
- Done as outpatient as procedure

KIDNEY/URETER STENT INSERTION
- is a thin, flexible tube placed in the ureter to bypass blockages, ensure urine flows from the kidney to the bladder, and aid healing after surgery.
- Typically measuring 10 to 15 inches with curled ends, it is temporarily inserted under anesthesia.

A female patient suddenly experienced flank pain and elevated creatinine with chills due to obstructing URETER STONE. CT scan showed ureter stone blocking the urine flow with signs of infection.

Why It's Used
- Treat Blockages: Relieve obstructions caused by kidney stones, tumors, swelling, or blood clots.
- Aid Healing: Keep the ureter open and facilitate drainage following surgeries, such as laser lithotripsy.
- Protect the Kidney: Prevent swelling or infections caused by blocked urinary tracts.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
- 60year old female with 0.7cm KIDNEY STONE presenting with blood in urine and flank discomfort

- After few shocks, we noted disintegration of kidney stone.

We hope for stone-free result 😊

- a process that uses acoustic or high intensity sound waves (called shock waves) to break stones in the kidney, ureter and urinary bladder. It is used for removing kidney stones without surgery
- After the procedure, tiny pieces of stone pass out of body in urine or through other natural passages.

Note: NOT FOR GALLBLADDER STONE 😊

FLEXIBLE URETEROSCOPY WITH LASER LITHOTRIPSY
- is a minimally invasive, highly effective procedure for removing kidney and ureteral stones.
- Using a thin, flexible scope via the urinary tract, surgeons use laser energy to break stones into small pieces (fragmentation) or dust.
- It is generally safe, offering a high stone-free rate, often allowing for quick recovery.

Effective: Suitable for kidney stones >2 cm and those that fail or are not suitable for Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL).
Minimally Invasive: Offers a lower-morbidity alternative to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Treats Hard Stones: Effective against various stone compositions

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
- is a procedure used to treat urinary problems that are caused by an enlarged prostate.
- prostate is resected from an endoscopic approach.
- it involves cutting away a section of the prostate to achieve wide passage for urine

- 60 year old Male Patient presented with difficulty urinating due to enlargement of prostate and tight bladder neck.

- Upon endoscopy, we noted the prostate and tight urinary bladder neck obstructing urine flow. After resection, there is wide passage.

How ESWL (Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy) works?

- It uses high-energy shock (pressure) waves to break up stones.
- These waves are aimed at kidney stones to break them into smaller pieces by using robust and focused energy waves to shatter the stones.
- Tiny pieces of the stones can then move through your urinary tract and out of your body more easily.
- Kidney stones are rock-like masses that form when you have high levels of certain substances in your urine.
