Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why might kidney and ureter stone removal via endoscopy be faster and easier than traditional treatment?
● Non-invasive: It does not require a large incision in the abdomen or back; the endoscope is simply inserted through the urinary tract.
● Precise stone localization: The endoscope allows the doctor to see the stone directly and break it using a laser or shock waves, reducing time spent searching or performing blind interventions.
● Direct stone removal: Fragmenting the stone and extracting it, or allowing it to pass naturally with urine, is faster than waiting for the stone to dissolve or relying solely on medication.
● Reduced pain and faster recovery: Patients usually require a short hospital stay, and recovery is quicker compared to open surgery.

2. What is the gold standard treatment for complex or recurrent urethral strictures in men?
Urethroplasty is considered the ideal treatment for complex and recurrent urethral strictures. This surgical procedure involves repairing or reconstructing the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. In men, the urethra also transports semen during ejaculation. This operation is usually performed to treat urethral strictures or to repair damage or deformities, especially when the problem is complex or recurrent and cannot be treated with less invasive methods.

3. What is Transurethral Bladder Neck Incision (TUBNI)?
Transurethral Bladder Neck Incision – TUBNI is an endoscopic surgical procedure (performed without an external incision) used to treat bladder outlet obstruction, which often occurs due to:
● Bladder Neck Contracture: The formation of scar tissue at the bladder neck, usually as a complication following previous prostate surgery (such as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate – TURP).
● Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Especially in cases of small prostate enlargement that cause obstruction at the bladder neck.

4. Why is open radical prostatectomy considered the optimal choice for preventing the spread of prostate cancer?
Open radical prostatectomy is considered the optimal choice for the following reasons:
1. Complete removal of the prostate and surrounding tissues: Radical surgery ensures the entire gland is removed, along with nearby tissues and lymph nodes if necessary, reducing the chance of cancerous cells remaining.
2. Prevention of cancer spread: Removing the entire prostate prevents the tumor from extending to adjacent organs such as the bladder, ureters, or surrounding tissues.
3. Accurate cancer assessment: During surgery, tissue and lymph node samples can be taken to determine the exact extent of cancer spread, which helps in planning any subsequent treatment.
4. High effectiveness: Especially in cases where the tumor is confined to the prostate but carries a high risk, radical surgery provides the best chance for cure or disease control.

5. When is an Ileal Conduit Diversion performed?
This diversion is performed after a radical cystectomy, which is often done to treat bladder cancer that has spread to the muscular wall. It may also be considered in other cases such as:
● Severe damage to the bladder caused by radiation.
● Certain neurological disorders that prevent the bladder from functioning properly
