Minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove kidney stones through a small incision in the back.

URS is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the ureters (the tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder) and the kidneys. During URS, a small, flexible ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. This allows the urologist to visually examine the ureter and kidney for stones, tumors, or other abnormalities. Laser energy, typically from a holmium laser, is often used to fragment and remove kidney or ureteral stones during the procedure. URS is particularly beneficial for treating stones that are located in the ureter or lower part of the kidney.

This approach is especially useful for managing kidney stones within the calyces or pelvis. Using a flexible ureteroscope, the urologist navigates through the urinary tract to reach the kidney. This approach is especially useful for managing kidney stones that are located in the upper urinary tract or within the renal pelvis. Laser lithotripsy is commonly employed during RIRS to precisely fragment kidney stones into smaller pieces, which can then be removed or passed naturally through the urinary tract.

Surgical procedure to relieve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by removing obstructive prostate tissue through the urethra

Surgical removal of part (partial nephrectomy) or the entire kidney (radical nephrectomy) to treat kidney tumors or renal cell carcinoma.

Surgical reconstruction or dilation of narrowed urethral segments caused by scar tissue (strictures) to restore normal urine flow.

Surgical procedure to repair complex urethral strictures using a graft from the inner cheek (buccal mucosa) to reconstruct the urethra.

Minimally invasive laser procedure to treat BPH by removing obstructive prostate tissue.

Surgical removal of the prostate gland for the treatment of prostate cancer, either through open or minimally invasive approaches.

Radical cystectomy is a major surgery performed to treat muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This procedure involves the removal of the entire bladder, nearby lymph nodes, and sometimes surrounding organs. Dr. Hegde also performs urinary diversion to create a new pathway for urine to exit the body, using techniques such as ileal conduit, continent cutaneous reservoir, or neobladder.

TURBT is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose, stage, and treat non-muscle invasive bladder tumors. Dr. Hegde uses a resectoscope to access and remove tumors through the urethra, allowing for precise excision of cancerous tissue without external incisions. This is often the first-line treatment for early-stage bladder cancer.

Dr. Hegde addresses a variety of urological issues in women, including urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections, pelvic organ prolapse, and interstitial cystitis. He provides personalized treatment plans that may involve medication, pelvic floor therapy, or surgical interventions.

Laparoscopic surgery involves the use of small incisions and a camera to perform minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Hegde utilizes this technique for various urological surgeries, such as nephrectomy (kidney removal) and pyeloplasty (repair of the renal pelvis), offering patients quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain.

Robotic surgery, employing the da Vinci Surgical System, allows Dr. Hegde to perform complex urological procedures with enhanced precision and control. This technique is used for surgeries like prostatectomy (prostate removal), cystectomy (bladder removal), and partial nephrectomy, providing benefits such as reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.

The ZSR circumcision is a minimally invasive technique that uses a specialized device for quick and efficient circumcision. This method is known for reducing recovery time and minimizing discomfort compared to traditional circumcision techniques.

Dr. Hegde specializes in diagnosing and treating urological conditions in children, such as vesicoureteral reflux, congenital abnormalities, and urinary tract infections. He provides compassionate care tailored to the needs of pediatric patients and their families.

Dr. Hegde performs surgical correction of hypospadias, a congenital condition where the urethral opening is not at the tip of the penis. The surgery involves reconstructing the urethra to its normal position and can be performed with excellent cosmetic and functional results.
