Why are these procedures recommended?

General urology procedures are recommended when symptoms affect urinary function, comfort, or quality of life, or when abnormalities require direct assessment or treatment. Endoscopic approaches allow accurate diagnosis and effective treatment while reducing recovery time and surgical impact.

How are the procedures carried out?

Depending on the condition being treated, procedures may include:

• Endoscopic ureteric realignment

  Used to restore continuity of the ureter following injury using minimally invasive techniques.

• Urethral dilatation and urethrotomy

  Performed to treat narrowing of the urethra and improve urinary flow.

• Endoscopic bladder procedures

  Telescopic procedures to examine the bladder and resect bladder growths where required.

• Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

  A telescopic procedure to relieve urinary obstruction caused by benign prostate enlargement.

• Bladder growth resection

  Removal of bladder growths using endoscopic instruments.

• Penile and scrotal surgery

  Including circumcision, hydrocoele repair, and epididymal cyst excision.

Anaesthesia, hospital stay & recovery

• Most procedures are performed under general anaesthesia

• Many operations are completed as day cases

• Some procedures may require a short hospital stay

• Recovery varies depending on the specific operation performed

Specialist expertise & advanced techniques

These procedures are undertaken using established endoscopic techniques that prioritise safety, precision, and patient comfort. Minimally invasive approaches help reduce recovery time while achieving effective treatment outcomes.

Follow-up & next steps

Follow-up care depends on the procedure performed and the underlying condition. This may include clinic review, imaging, catheter or stent management where relevant, and ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal recovery and long-term urinary health
