Urology & Lithotripsy

Outpatient Clinic

It consists of a consulting complex that includes examination rooms equipped with bedside ultrasound gadget. This helps doctors to get a firsthand judgement of the findings and reduces patients’ waiting time in the radiology department.

Urodynamics laboratory

It performs multiple tests like: Cystometry, Uroflowmetry, Urethral pressure profile and E.M.G external sphincter.

Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripter (ESWL)

This is a minimal invasive appliance used to treat urinary stones without the need for an operation. Naturally, not all urinary stones are amenable for this type of treatment.
Urologists select the right case to get the most favourable outcome. Fragments of the broken stones are passed in the urine and these are collected for chemical and physical analysis to provide information about their formation and helps in planning future treatment to prevent further stone formation.

Operating Theatre

There are five fully equipped OT at Olive Sacred Hearts. Urology has the flexibility to use any of these rooms for endoscopy or open procedures. The endoscopy includes minimal invasive diagnostic and therapeutic appliances to treat stones and tumours of the upper or lower urinary tract. Prostatic and urethral diseases are included.
The open procedures include the treatment of tumours, stones or congenital anomalies. The later may require one or more stages of plastic surgery.

Ancillary Services

Radiology and laboratory centers at the hospital provide advanced diagnostic and interventional support to the Urology Center. Imaging by ultrasonography, CT and CT guided procedures are everyday practice. Tackling kidney or prostatic lesions is easier with their professional and dedicated care.
