Department of
Urology started catering to the outpatients from
26th February 1993. The operation
theatre became functional two months later.
The department being well equipped with most
modern state of art technology comparable to any
other national institute, took off at a high level.
Besides general urology the subspectialities like
Neuro-urology, Infertility, renal transplantation,
endo-urology, paediatric urology,
uro-oncology and trauma care grew fast
simultaneously.
With the
coming of the new millennium a plethora of advances in
technology in medicine have come as a gift for the
ailing humanity. Age old open surgical interventions
are becoming less popular and endoscopic and
laporoscopic surgeries are taking over. In
Urology, endoscopic management of stones and
prostatic hyperplasia has witnessed
exemplary development.
Department of
Urology has all the facilities to deal with different
types of stone with lithotripsy, PCNL & Ureteroscopy
(Endoscopic retrieval of stones). For
elderly patients with prostate diseases,
endoscopic removal of the gland is a routine
in this department.
The average
number of outpatients seen so far is touching 3852 and
more than 626 operations have already been performed.
600 patients were treated for male infertility. So
far 24 live related renal transplants have
been performed. More than 1700 Urodynamic
studies were performed till today.
Besides a
hectic work schedules, the department is actively
participating in the academic and research in
collaboration with the Department of Neurology,
Nuclear Medicine and Radiology
All varieties of sexual dysfunctions like premature ejaculation, impotence, early detumescence etc.

bladder are also taken care of. Absence of one or
two testes in the scrotal sac in a male child
warrants urgent urological opinion.

circumcision (fore skin of the penis) unless you
seek advice from a Urologist.
