Urological Surgeries

What are Urological Surgeries?

Urological surgeries are specialized surgical procedures that address conditions affecting the urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. These surgeries are performed to treat a wide range of problems, including kidney stones, urinary tract infections (UTIs), prostate disorders, bladder issues, male infertility, and cancers of the urinary system.The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, while the male reproductive system includes the testes, scrotum, vas deferens, prostate, and penis. When these organs malfunction due to disease, injury, or congenital abnormalities, surgical intervention may be required.
