Instead of the conventional incision below the bellybutton as used for an open radical prostatectomy, the surgery is done via keyhole instruments via small incisions, with a slightly larger incision to remove the prostate.Robotic surgery is commonplace throughout the world. There is no evidence that it provides a better cancer control operation than an open radical prostatectomy. It may provide some advantages in the short te...

Most children will grow out of this, but there are various treatments available if nocturnal enuresis persists.An alarm system is an excellent initial treatment for many children.See: "Dri Sleeper Eclipse Wireless alarm"Contact our team to make an appointment....

This is not of concern and does not usually need correction.Contact our team if you have concerns....

Usually, these symptoms are caused by overactive nerves that supply the bladder muscle.Medication can be very effective for the treatment of this. In more severe forms of blad...

This operation is performed when there is a transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the kidney or ureter. This is a type of growth in the lining of the drainage system of the kidney, rather than in the parenchyma (meat) of the kidney.A nephroureterectomy usually involves 2 incisions; a standard flank incision, as well as a smaller incision in the lower abdomen. (This is required as the kidney and the full length of the ureter down to the bladder are... Fri, 16 Dec 2022 09:11:20 +1300 http://www.bayurology.co.nz/blog/#post95640
