Department of Urology

About the Urology Department

The Urology Department is a specialized medical unit focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems. This department provides surgical and pharmaceutical treatments for diseases related to the kidneys, bladder, urinary tract, and male reproductive system in men, women, and children.

Highly skilled urologists in the department effectively treat various conditions using advanced medical technologies. Additionally, minimally invasive (small incision) and laser techniques are employed to accelerate the recovery process for patients.

Main Areas of Urology

🔹 Kidney diseases – pyelonephritis, kidney stone disease, cysts, and tumors.

🔹 Urinary tract disorders – urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, urethral strictures.

🔹 Bladder diseases – cystitis (bladder inflammation), bladder stones, urination disorders. 🔹 Prostate gland diseases – prostate adenoma, prostatitis, prostate cancer.

🔹 Male reproductive system disorders – infertility, erectile dysfunction, varicocele, orchitis.

🔹 Urological surgical procedures – endoscopic, laparoscopic, and open surgery methods. 🔹 Oncological urology – diagnosis and treatment of kidney, prostate, bladder, and other urinary system cancers.

🔹 Pediatric urology – congenital urinary system abnormalities, cryptorchidism (undescended testicles), epispadias, hypospadias, and hydronephrosis.

Urology Specialists and Their Responsibilities

👨‍⚕️ Urologist – A doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating urinary and reproductive system disorders. Uses both conservative and surgical methods to treat patients.

Diagnostic Methods in Urology

📌 Laboratory tests – urine analysis, blood tests, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, sperm analysis.

📌 Ultrasound examination (USG) – examination of the kidneys, prostate, bladder, and testicles.

📌 Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – detecting tumors and kidney stones.

📌 Uroflowmetry – evaluating urine flow rate.

📌 Endoscopic examinations – cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, and nephroscopy to inspect and treat urinary tract conditions.

Modern Treatment Methods

🛠 Minimally invasive surgery – painless and low-trauma procedures using laser and endoscopic techniques.

💡 Laser therapy – treatment of prostate adenoma, fragmentation of kidney stones, and elimination of urethral strictures.

🔬 Laparoscopic surgery – minimally invasive treatment of prostate, kidney, and bladder diseases.

⚡ Neurostimulation – an innovative treatment for urinary disorders.
